How is it any different for the Mormon church to contribute to passing Prop 8 than Brad Pitt or McDonalds to contribute against it?? I think that if Prop 8 would not have passed then you guys would not have a problem with the Mormons, am I right?

[SamHarrisCOM]

mckinseysmomma, last I knew, Mormon was a religion. A religion that went out of their way, out of state, using illegal tactics to sway votes to their religious beliefs. Regardless, any proposition based on a religious belief should not be on a voting ballot.

[SamHarrisCOM]

What Mormons do in the privacy of their own home has no interest to us. As long as they are consenting adults. Mormons have the right to get married, just like every other human in the country. If a Mormon is a tax paying American, then, who they marry has no affect on my marriage. Therefore, if Mormons are in love, they should go for it.

PS: Being Mormon is a choice.

[Branigan4ever]

You're very cute!

[msgtusa]

Sam, It is great to see you on Youtube! I remember the song "Stay With Me" from one of your first albums. I emulated your voice and sang that song 5000 times. You are a great talent and an inspiration for people in general.

[osembrtlt]

you fag, may god smite you and every other fag out their...by the way, I don't hate gays i just think of them as fucked in the head...like they are retarded or something, and the only thing to help is to kill them all before they spread their disease. Fucking fags, eat shit and die.

[Ralfdemara]

I am so glad I re-discovered you after years of not keeping up with your career...Thank You ~YouTube! You are such a fun, wonderful role model for the gay and straight community as well. I look forward to being able to see you preform live one of these days...you're such an amazing talent! And I will try Very hard to do something wonderful for someone every day...your friend & fan, Ralph in Conover, NC

[Mydnytefantasy89]

Thank u for answering my question. The situation is still a bit rocky. And it's pronounced midnight fantasy btw lol and I actually have another question for ya. How is lizzy caplan? I'm a huge fan and have a huge crush lol just wondering what she's like in real life

[Filby]

I don't know who you are, but I like you.

Regarding Prop 8... all I can say is the same thing Martin Luther King once said: The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. We will overcome.

[Filby]

Just keep talking about it. Maybe donate to a cause that will help advance gay rights in California.

[scottulap1]

Sam, you look so cute in the goatee! Adorable!

[MBScherry]

Sam,

I agree with you! Prop 8 and other laws like it have to go. I believe that people will soon wake up and realize that this bigotry is wrong.

With regard to the clay: I have worked with clay for about fifteen years. It is surprising how each one is different. They each have their own texture, plasticity, and therefore the chemical composition of each is different! (If you want a clay artist's point of view! If not, I am sorry! I guess I take clay very seriously!)

Love you, lots!
