Mormon Bullshit..... Oh My - Is Another "Revelation" Coming?

Mormon Bullshit..... Oh My - Is Another "Revelation" Coming?
In 1978 some mormon fuckhead announced that he had been given a revelation - straight from planet kolob I imagine - that blacks were no longer persona non grata. Is another proclamation in the works for gays?

http://apnews.excite.com/article/2013100...5C2G0.html

Quote: Now, Wendy Montgomery is leading a growing movement among Mormons to push The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to teach that homosexuality isn't a sin.

They are hopeful. The Utah-based church's stance on homosexuality has softened considerably since it was one of the leading forces behind California's Proposition 8. A new website launched this year encourages more compassion toward gays, implores them to stay in the faith and clarifies that church leaders no longer "necessarily advise" gays to marry people of the opposite sex in what used to be a widely practiced Mormon workaround for homosexuality. In May, church leaders backed the Boy Scouts' policy allowing gays in the ranks. Some gay Mormons who left or were forced out of the church say they are now being welcomed back - even though they remain in same-sex relationships.

Like most religions, you can always expect these fuckers to go where the money is. Stand by for incoming mail from kolob!

RE: Mormon Bullshit..... Oh My - Is Another "Revelation" Coming?
I am going to tell on myself now; this is embarrassing.
When I was a christian I was very outspoken against
homosexuality and the "gay culture". I was a vehement
advocate for the sending of homosexuals to the hottest
depths of hell. I praised the god of the bible for his
righteous judgment against the sinfulness of the gays,
and I sung praises to Jesus™ for his mercy toward me.
I encouraged my christian wife to tell her gay brother
what the bible says about homosexuality, and that if he
didn't change his lifestyle (meaning sexual orientation)
that god would send him to hell. This was, of course
also the belief that my wife held (still holds). Now that
I am an atheist, I no longer feel like I once did concerning
homosexuality. I have, in fact, become a very strong
supporter of gays and gay rights. I volunteer at a local
"rainbow" thrift store that I, at one time, swore I would
never even cross the threshold of. I have visited my
brother-in-law and I have asked him for forgiveness for
my vicious agreement with god's violent judgment. I
no longer think or act like a bigoted fool. I am also
now beginning to realize that my formerly outspoken
ugliness toward gays was caused by the root of something
stronger than the hatred my bible recommended I carry;
I was now free to love these human beings. I found that
my hate (which was strong) was replaced with love once
I ditched religion, and I now love gay people to the same
proportion I once loathed then.

PS my wife does not hate gays - she is a sweet
lady; she just agrees with a god that hates them.
It's really sad actually. fff

Yeah, just fast forward 50 years in the future and Christians will be claiming they were at the forefront of changing the marriage laws to allow gays to marry.

You may as well have stoned people to death for working on the Sabbath day while you were at it. You had a hold of the wrong end of the stick even though if God exists you did have the right stick.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.

It's my understanding from an ex-Mormon that the only reason they had that "revelation" in 1978 was because the government was getting onto them about not allowing blacks to be priests, preachers, or whatever they have, nor were blacks allowed to be in the church administration. So after the government warned them about the civil rights laws, lo and behold the head of the church had a magical revelation that black people aren't cursed descendants of Ham after all.

They do it all the time. I remember one of the reasons I fully rejected religiosity in my childhood was when the head of their church (I forget which one) had a revelation that it was suddenly ok for Mormons to drink Coca Cola.

Of course, they didn't mention that the church had just made a significant investment in Coca Cola stock. Rolleyes

From what I've heard, it was actually because they wanted to get a temple in Brazil, and, since the subject of race in Brazil is incredibly complicated, so, therefore, they decided Blacks were okay in God's eyes now.
