Mormon Church Defends Prop 8 and Marriage(s)

[DaSticksanStonesClub]

Last time I checked, polygamy in the LDS church has been banned for over 100 years. But maybe I'm crazy.

[RCSVirginia]

I love this video! ROTFLMFAO!



[MrChamp51]

What's the difference between Mormons shoving prop 8 down your throat and you shoving gay rights down everybody elses? Seems like a double standard to me

[byusoftball17]

Nice job! You basically wasted everyone's time. AND you people obviously don't understand prop 8 very well. We are not against unions, we are against the definition being changed and the right for people to practice their religion and not have to practice gay marriages in their meetinghouses.

[MCRxICP]

Well this is awesome cuz I believe in gay marriage and not polygamy

[cufflink44]

Of course what the LDS church says today is that they've changed their ways. The main group of Mormons no longer allows polygamy, just as they no longer exclude blacks from the priesthood. (A convenient "revelation from God" fixed that in 1978.) That these people have the balls to tell other people how to live astounds me.

[RCSVirginia]

@cufflink44

Make sure you check on the song "I Believe" from "The Book of Mormon" on YouTube. It mentions just that revelation.

[michaelwitbeck]

pure genius.

[gofindyourmusic]

Funny , and why can't we all just laugh about this and get along... get over Gays ..they are not going away! nor are christians ..too bad for both sides? .. we are all Americans ...Getr your own exclusive (idealistic country) , or get over it .

[TheShirlock]

Love it!

[naty86able]

Wow, wut a bunch of crock, they are against gay marriage, but yet it is okay to marry multiple women and lure in underage girls to having sex with a much older man and to marry him for his sick twisted pologomy fantasy.

[bobmuffins]

Are they using the mic from Rock Band? Because it seriously looks like it :|

[KevinReconAlpha]

@ScottyLDS Last time I checked, we live in a nation with a secular government, not a theocracy. You disapprove of gay marriage. Who again is trying to force you to same-sex marry? Why, again, should it be illegal just because you personally find it distasteful? I find your benighted fantastical nonsense mythology distasteful, but you don't see me clamoring to have LDS outlawed. The ways of the hyper-religious are mind-boggling. You are a force of darkness in this world, not gays.

[MrPaulwalrus]

too bad pointing out the fault in an equally wrong view of marriage doesn't justify your own view.

[PhysicsMasterMind]

Good one!

[246Alexandrea]

hahaha to this video

[lkidler]

If YOU don't want to hear it, you have a right NOT to listen. Some of us DO want to hear it.

The intolerant attitude of some of the gay community will bring more hostility to the gays who are just quietly living their lives, than a religious leader's talk, which only barely mentions homosexuality. That worries me because Youre putting our gay family members and friends at risk.

[idaman12345]

@ScottyLDS It is not okay to practice and indulge in homosexuality.

your opinion

The forced teaching of homosexuality is damning to that wellfare.

your opinion

[idaman12345]

@Tingintheair and again, god is man made, not the other way around

[aznjokernerd]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO my best friend for 4 yr is mormon and i have gay people in my family and she is her cool about it her sister is 17 and is a proud to be bisexual and well im 17 and my best friend is 17 and our parent are cool about gay people and stuff im striaght and she straight but still support gay people and im fucking asian for buddha sake and trusted me at first my mom say it a disease lmao but then she understand how we are just fucking human being >:P and have right to love anyone :3

[lovemoviesful2]

Muahahahaha, this is so funny and so true. "Protect Marriage", oh please like it need protect, why "protect" when so many marriages end up in divorce?

[coilinreltub]

God is not real! Gay people are awesome! and your church is disgusting and evil! Go away!

[askani21]

Hahahaha funny

Btw, Prop 8 died yesterday! Everybody wins :)

[NestaLee]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha, great, fucking great!  and another woman

[Wbeliever7]

@ScottyLDS polygamy, homosexuality its all gross

[Wbeliever7]

hahahahahah!

[idaman12345]

@ScottyLDS oooh gods commandments where can i find those?

sitting right next to a unicorn?

[idaman12345]

@ScottyLDS homosexuality is not wrong

if you got away from your cult you would realize that

[numbcheese]

@ScottyLDS somebody is forcing you to gay marry?

[livewarrior967]

THAT MADE ME LOL

[MarkieWatch100]

LOL! Loved this clip! And it's so right! The mormons if anyone should not talk about redefining the definition of marriage, look they have a history of polygamy and some practice it also to this day. Those bigots!

[SoccerLoverification]

this is not funny

[acts238111]

sarcasm i c

[ginocruzate]

that is not true... don't let them lie to you like that .....

[robbiecarte]

I wish I could marry more than one twink : )

[ourhero100]

and mormons havent practice polygamy for over 100 years.

[MrSinister84]

Still that wasn't "traditional marriage' and also your prophet john smith practiced it too. So you should be the last people to talk about defending traditional marriage.

[ourhero100]

im mormon and back in those days polygamy was common. We didnt want to do it but we had to because so many of our men were killed by people like you.

[izumozorc]

I'm gay and mormon, but I still found that absolutely hilarious!

[SoCalGuy20]

Funny!

[Americanroyalist]

Funny, I guess, but totally false. And what might the response be if the other side showed an ad with "we think men should be able to marry men... and sometimes little boys"? It would not be pretty.

That said I'd not mind nearly as much if polygamy (consensual - not how the FLDS nuts do it) was legalized.

[MrSinister84]

Yeah, especially if john smith and other LDS prophets married "little girls". Who would want one wife, let alone a dozen. And there not that attractive either. lol

[pangeanet]

Funny...perhaps, but if only it was accurate and not propogating the falsehood that Mormons practice polygamy. Not been done since the 1800s it is now the 21st century. If they did, practice polygamy, for one thing they would not support prop 8 if for no other reason than same-sex marriage opens the doors wide open to legalizing polygamy and other forms of relationships.

[brownleatherpants]

fuck faces at large

[aubreymoon]

The people that chose to continue polygamy after it became against the religion were excommunitcated and continued to call themselves mormon but are really just crazy and they are the ones that look like a cult...and ruin everything for the rest of us

[aubreymoon]

they are called fundamentalist mormons and go by many different aliases not just mormon

[MrSinister84]

Does that include john smith and other "prophets" who had several wives lol.

[aubreymoon]

Sigh I wish somebody was more informed and not All Mormons are Latter day Saints

[furmaster21]

i laughed my ass of soo hard, im sooo glad i got out of utah....

[brownleatherpants]

The Bible is 100% ACCURATE and teaches how to be INTOLERANT and UNACCEPTANT in Christ.

HATE IN CHRIST, ITS THE CHRISTIAN AMERICAN WAY.

Luke 14:25-26 (New International Version)

The Cost of Being a Disciple 25Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple.

CHRISTIANITY ALL EXPLAINED FROM A TO Zero

[brownleatherpants]

You can abuse the Bible to support slavery. You can abuse the Bible to burn children and women, You can abuse the Bible to promote racism, again Christians have demonstrated who they truly are. You can abuse the Bible to promote intolerance of Biblical proportion. You can abuse the Bible to promote intolerance and hypocrisy. New born babies are not racist, they are not sexist, they are not homophobic, these values are all taught by hypocrite H8ful Christians.

[ryryrien]

this video is gay and its useless and its YES ON 8 baby!! whooo whoo!

[leSavaii]

"IF" this was suppose to incite some arguments about Polygamy between you & members of the LDS.Church, you're wrong dude. First the LDS.Church does not practice Polygamy since God took it away close to 200 years ago.

Do you think Polygamy is a sin? And if you do, then lecture me with; Why God allowed Jacob & others to marry to more than one wife? This is the same God that sent His Son Jesus to show us the way back to His presence, Am I correct?

[DeeTeez76]

how weird.... God took it away 200 years ago?

WOW i thought god died billions of years ago... I didn'nt know he came to live to take it away, then vanished again!

[aubreymoon]

I'm pretty sure he didn't physically take anything...but communicated it ...genius

[MrSinister84]

I don't think god changes his mind, since he is all knowing. Just because god tells you to jump off a cliff does not mean you do it lol you have your own mind.

[drewskione]

That was hilarious.

[hmsfrenchhorn95]

i don't need any medicine i am simply stating the facts if you don't like it then leave me and everyone else alone everything you guys are saying is based on opinion i have facts

[hmsfrenchhorn95]

okay well out of California only 2% of the population is mormon and out of that 2% only 80% of us voted yes so do not even try to tell me that it was only we Mormons because that is not even almost possible. yes we did help in campaigning but i got a swear like one hundred calls asking me to vote no on 8. you people who voted no on 8 and supported it were horrendous to those who voted yes doing things such as stealing signs my house got egged and tagged.........

[cryan71]

time for your medication

Quick Facts about mormonism:

Evil cult, it used to be one man for billions of whore wives, but because of social pressure, the cult can no longer get away with their religious orgies. A spiritual privilege? Well, if that is a spiritual privilege, cutting your limbs must be a privilege too. Where's the verse anyway that says: Thaw shall not use your brain, God did not intend that you use it, go on a hate tyranny and use your moral values: hatred, hypocrisy lies, and protect the murderers.

AMEN

[aubreymoon]

oh you must have a PHD in pure crap :D that's just excellent

[dtwhitney]

cute and non-factual

[dtwhitney]

Apostollus is a moron.

[jbrabec22]

Funny, Mormons were thrown in jail because of their [biblical] marital beliefs. I think Mormons earned the right to vote on what they believe is right!

[brownleatherpants]

HYPOCRITE

[brownleatherpants]

HYPOCRITE sinners who enjoy gluttony, even fattening our children to DEATH. Religious hypocrites who read the verses of the Bible solely out of context, make up misfitting interpretation, and abuse God's words to sell hatred, divorces etc.

HYPOCRITE AND LIARS WHO waite millions of dollars to make people who are involved in loving meaningful relationships to destroy their lives while that money could be used to care for the poor and the needy.

YOU OWN HYPOCRISY.

[dtwhitney]

None of your arguments are found on fact. On the contrary, the Mormon church is very altruistic.

[brownleatherpants]

People today marry until they find better and then divorce. Divorces destroy the lives of the children because divorces are against children. Hypocrite mormons use their power of hypocrisy2destroy not only the lives of the children who happen to become victims of the divorce of their parents, but also use their bigotry 2molest the children brn gay who have their parents divorcing. My hypocrite parents who also played God divorce when I was 6.

Gluttony is a mrtal sin, where the ban against it?

[brownleatherpants]

2 hypocrite morpions/ I meant mormons playing God and and verbally molesting children who were born gay. I knew I was gay when I was 5 but fought it all my life to so that I could fit the agenda of the hypocrites and the unpatriotist hate mongers. Hypocrite mormons who use to marry in orgies with billions of wives!

Hypocrite and ignorant bigots

[aubreymoon]

Just like all homosexuals are the same you shouldn't generalize the mormon people - I'm mormon and could give a shit if you want to get married or not. None of my business and not my place to say whether someone can or can not do it. So I think some people need to CLARIFY themselves

[aubreymoon]

just like all homosexuals are the same should be "just like all homosexuals are NOT the same"

[FranklyMisterShankly]

This is actually an interesting discussion. There is no historical precedent for same-sex marriage, but there is plenty for plural marriage. Thus, if same-sex couples are making the case for legal unions as those between consenting adults, shouldn't plural unions be afforded the same opportunity?

[Ragnark1]

The ACTUAL LDS church does not engage in polygamy. It is only the breakaway sects that engage in that practice.

[EvanCarroll]

If by "does not," you mean "no longer does." Obviously redefining marriage to fit social whims is permissible, right?

[marshzd]

Social whims? How ignorant are you people? The Mormon church was kicked out a several cities for practicing their religion, had their women raped and murdered, as well as men. They were tarred and feathered, assaulted, and finally came here to settle. Then they were THREATENED that if they didn't stop polygamy they would have even more problems. Okay, if that's fitting to social whims...Geez. So ignorant.

[EvanCarroll]

What are you whining about? The Mormons made a conscious decision to redefine marriage to exclude polygamous unions. God said it was OK one day, and now it isn't. This is seen quite often, see bi-racial unions. The same logic could be extended to homosexual unions. It didn't ultimately hurt anyone when it was done before -- and it won't in this case either.

[alexstorm77]

Wow Darwinism in action! If he is alowed so many wives he will be able have a lot of kids. Thus the survival of the species. If Gays can mary they will die out anyway since they cannot procreate. Thus Darwin is right! Gays do not produce offspring therefore thier "lifestyle" will die out.

[brownleatherpants]

Gays will never die out dumb ass, God creates gays continuously. Being gay is not a choice, being an hypocrite and a liar is. ..... is your choice.

[Schindler78]

Hypocrite- Okay, explain to me please, how what Alex said was hypocritical, I'm confused. He wasn't telling any one his personal morals, and as far as I can tell, you can't real tell if he keeps his personal morals or not, the definition of hypocrite.

Liar- he was stating a possible outcome of a lifestyle, or in other words, a hypothesize. How could any one tell if he was lying or not?

If you used the 'hypocrite/liar" phrase, be sure that it actually makes sense when put into context.

[mmiddl06]

son of a gay couple: i have two mums

son of a mormon: i have five mums

hmmmm

[readyjojoy]

It's christian like to tell the truth and that's what I was doing. To your comment above, no one is forcing to be a Mormon.

[mmiddl06]

yet mormons are contributing to bans on people being married

[readyjojoy]

Society is contributing to bans on gay marriage. Mormons, Catholics, all types of religious affiliations and non-religious affiliating people. This comes down to people voting. That's what it is. There is no right to be married. "We the People" spoke not "We the Mormons." Come to think of it, this doesn't have a whole lot to do with Mormons anyway. I'm going to donate to the Mormon Church - at least I know that my donation will be spent wisely.

[mmiddl06]

wisely discriminating against people that they have nothing to do with? i will tell u this for free...society changes for better and worst and ur conception of your control on the world will fail

[readyjojoy]

This is why people start to see that the Mormon church is not what the stereotypes are. Stupid clips like this and stupid comments from obviously a very stupid man. Funny how you call the Mormons fagots. I actually started laughing.

[terrynewellcom]

keep your religion out of my relationship, please.

[readyjojoy]

keep your relationship out of my society.

[theblob34]

@terrynewellcom yes well said its nothing to do with them or anyone for that matter they are biggtos of the higest order take care

[jenn1ifer]

@terrynewellcom keep your minority gay beliefs out of the majority's belief.

[idaman12345]

@jenn1ifer keep your communist anti gay beliefs out of america

[paulytheaussie]

lol that was great this is the ducks nuts!!!!

[cashboxkeys]

omg i love this

[sadskippy]

Society did not accept polygamy marriage and they did not accept gay marriage.

Why was is OK to ban polygamy marriage but not gay marriage?

[cameronmullins]

Beacuse us law says that one shall not marry more then one person. US law will soon have to remove marriage from its practices or let everyone who wants to marry whatever person they want to do so. Marriage is not just a religious practice and it predates your religions I can gaurntee it. =D

[sadskippy]

Yet,,, we are to believe that being gay is a right but being polygamous is not?

How about we let people marry dogs? After all,,,, it's just a religious impediment that keeps bestials from marrying dogs.

ALSO,,, US law says marriage is 1 man 1 woman,,,, but the gays don't care.

Why should the polygamists care about the # in marriage?

[ofelixdacat]

Stupid Moron Cult, 2 mommies are better than 6.

[aubreymoon]

for someone who probably wishes people were more informed about gays you aren't very informed about The LDS religion

[ofelixdacat]

Informed enough to know that a man marrying more then 2 wives is NOT protecting the "Sanctity" of marriage, it's abusing it. To tell someone they can't marry someone of the same gender, yet say it's okay to marry more then one person is pretty hypocritical.

[smeejay]

don't quit your day job.

[lezazacomedy]

thanks

[17smagnolia]

Fantastic!

[mrlovespread2006]

"would you stop moving the camera back!"

LOL! why do you have more wives hiding behind the bushes?

[21dennis]

Mormon Guy get a 10 or more wife usally. Fuckin OUTLAW.

[hot4lucky]

well put.

[MysticalMind]

hahaha this is hilarious, good job guys lol

[yankeefan5]

I thought we lived in a country where church and state are separate. I guess not huh?

[walkonking]

Here is what their scriptures actually say about politics.

Doctrine and Covenants Section 134 verse 9

" 9 We do not believe it just to amingle religious influence with civil government, whereby one religious society is fostered and another proscribed in its spiritual privileges, and the individual rights of its members, as citizens, denied. "

[smeejay]

nobody's mocking mormons, merely pointing out the exteme irony that, of all religions, the mormons with their stuggles with marriage rights would take the forefront of the anti gay marriage movement. the truth can suck sometimes.

[bigtimejazzfan]

If only you knew the truth. The Mormons have not had struggles with marriage rights for well over 100 years.

[smeejay]

how does that, in any way change the extreme irony that i commented on? you'd think that a group persecuted for it's beleifs pertainling to unconvential marrige, regarless of whether it was 1000 or 100 or 10 years ago would have a more understanding position. yet, it is this exact group that took the MOST exteme measures in this case. i guess i'm wasting my time trying to explain this to someone that would rather not even consider the possibility of other's view having any validity.

[sorindal24]

I love it!

[omiolo1]

I guess if you try and mock the other side you don't have to deal with the lack of reality and the shallowness of your position.
