Standing up for your beliefs is important BUT not to victimize, abuse or hate. There's no way the Lds church would make anyone donate money if they didn't want to.
I don't hate gays. I don't agree with their lifestyle but as a Mormon we must allow others to worship how where or what they may. Which includes choosing whatever lifestyle they choose without judgement or hatred. Mormons have rights too. Leave them alone. They're following what they believe, it's different. Just get over it.

@durhamdf True, one of the signs of the coming of Messiah (1st or 2nd coming depending on your beliefs) is that Israel would be gathered again unto her own lands, so it's in everyone's best interests that Israel stays where it's at (assuming you want Messiah to come).

@danewage yeah that I would agree with. ALthough I have to say that a minority of the evangelical christians just support Israel because they want Jews to leave America for Israel as they believe that this is a sign of the rapture. But yes, today obviously Jews are far less oppressed in Western nations with Christian majorities
-
@durhamdf the sad truth of it, is it's still going on. Since the UN established the Jewish state of Israel, they've been undermining Israeli interests. I agree with you that something is moving the world against Jews in general and Israel specifically. Yes, Christianity has not done Jews much of a service in earlier years, but they have proven to be a fairly staunch ally in recent times, out of love or guilt has yet to be seen, but it seems genuine.

@danewage THey did, it wasn't taken to the same level but most Americans and Europeans were just as anti-semitic as the average German at the time of the holocaust. I agree though that religion didn't cause the holocaust, but organized religion, the catholic chirch in particular, sure as hell didn't do anything to stop it or even speak out publicly against the atrocities committed by the Germans. Call it self-preservation, that doesn't make it any better in my book
-
@durhamdf a perversion of religion may have attributed to the environment in which the Holocaust would was allowed to happen, but religion itself is not the cause. Nowhere in Holy writ is it stated that Jews should be punished for the death of Jesus. In fact, the very first Christians were Jewish converts. But if it were merely about a religion, Jews wouldn't have had such troubles in all the non-Christian lands they were sent to, excepting a universal distrust occurring.
-
@danewage I don't recall blaming any particular religion for the holocaust or mentioning the holocaust in my comments to this video. Although since you bring it up, I would argue that religion had everything to do with the holocaust. Jews were the most scapegoated people's on earth and much of this is due to the catholic church's retarded insistence that Jews had murdered Jesus and the general hatred christians of all types had for all non-christians at the time. Soo yeah, religion palyed a role

@supermonkey100 your family and friends love you, yet I'm sure you could recall a few times they wouldn't just stand idly by as you do something they think is wrong or stupid.

@durhamdf the Holocaust occurred because of an athiestic sociopath, and a bunch of apathetic nations who "didn't want to get involved". Religion had nothing to do with it.
I was born into a Mormon family, and finally left the religion when I got old enough to act on my own opinions and beliefs. I can say this gives me a better perspective on what motivates Mormon behavior. The gay issue still perplexes me. Mormons have a strong belief in "free agency," which means that man is free to do as they chose, and will be judged for it in the afterlife. So why not lay of the gays then? Even if you don't agree with their lifestyle... let them be. I don't get it.

anyone who supported Prop 8 should be like the KKK and wear a hood over their heads. It's only appropriate.
