I'm cool with Gay Marriage. My Church took its time accepting blacks as Priesthood holders; hey, it's only a matter of time before gay men and women can be sealed to each other in the Temples. I think you'd be surprised, but I'm not the only Mormon that thinks this way.

I wish. It's still a ways down the road. My Church still needs many more people who think like I do.

Lol, Min would tell you that your church needs less people period.
You'll grow to love him, maybe.

Forgive my bluntness but what does being 'sealed in the temple' entail, exactly? I had a Mormon neighbor who wore holy underwear tell me they had to have sex in front of the elders to get married
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's
sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god
does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Am I like the only person here who doesn't know what the magic underwear thing is? I hear about it frequently but have no clue what it's about. :/
