The mormons are the ones who complained enough to have the proposition proposed and then they spent tens of millions of dollars to spread untrue propaganda to scare people into voting yes. So why the fuck shouldn't they protest the mormons?

[gotsurf86]

yes, lets take our hate out on the mormons, psshhh you guys need to get a life this is ridiculous. what were you guys thinking? "yeah everyone lets go yell at a building?" i mean seriously!

[gotsurf86]

you should get off the fence.

You didn't merely "voice" yourself. You used the government to impose your religion on others.

You haven't said one thing to explain how you have the to vote on other people's rights, how you (the church, which is supposed to be seperated from the state) have the right to come between the government and other people.

If you're going to violate their Constitutional rights, then on that basis they have the right to violate yours.

Obama stated that he was against gay marriage, I remember finding it interesting because he's a dem. but he did.

[mormonartist]

us mormons didn't. We just voice our rights to vote on what we believe on and because you don't like it your outside our temples, thinking that we will change our minds, not gonna happen. We have a right to vote just like the other people who aren't mormon did. We will continue to express and vote with our morals first. We do what we think is right,, if you hate us for that then that's your problem.

You people? I'm not EmiliePage and I don't know her.

I don't know why you were told to "fuck off". You may or may not have done something to deserve it. I don't know, but it isn't nice to swear in front of kids, so I wouldn't have done it. Maybe the sign carrier was just enraged, or maybe a wacko. Who knows?

And you shouldn't be allowed to vote on other people's rights. There's supposed to be a separation between church and state. You can't enforce your religious views on others.

You, and EmiliePage, are so pleasant.

I walked past a NO ON 8 group the other day in Santa Monica, with my young daughter. I was asked to sign a petition. I declined with a simple shake of my head.

Someone with a "STOP THE HATE" sign told me to "FUCK OFF".

Who hates who?

Liberal California, plus 30 other states have voted NO TO GAY MARRIAGE.

And now, because Rick Warren will pray at Obama inauguration, you're placing 5 demands on Obama.

You people are out of control!

QUOTE: "IT WAS ADAM AND EVE!! NOT ADAM AND STEVE!!"

If you believe that, and things should be the way they were Biblically, then you must also believe Adam and Eve kids had sex with each other. Incest breeding is immoral, yet this is the only choice your fictional god offers.

So there's nothing wrong with Adam and Steve.

Is that your defence? This is like catching someone speeding and them saying: "But officer, there was another car speeding beside me."

This argument just makes me want to take the biggest shit on that particular church.

I didn't arrange the protest, nor was I even there. It still remains well deserved. If they had gone to a Catholic or Jehovah's Witness church, they'd say: "Why not bug the Protestants?" Oh, shut up.
