News - to make jesus freaks cry.
http://apnews.excite.com/article/2013080...UV682.html

Quote:Rhode Island was joining Minnesota on Thursday in becoming the 12th and 13th U.S. states to allow gay marriage, along with the District of Columbia. The national gay rights group Freedom to Marry estimates that about 30 percent of the U.S. population now lives in places where gay marriage is legal. The first gay weddings in Rhode Island were planned for later Thursday morning.

RE: News - to make jesus freaks cry.
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. Tongue

You'll grow to love him, maybe.

RE: News - to make jesus freaks cry.
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. :/
