Sad, sad. I've never seen such hate as what I see on this blog these days. That article is completely biased as is everything else you post these days. There is no reasoning with some people, so although it means nothing to anyone, I won't be supporting this site anymore. Best wishes.
So basically, if you want this to work right, make sure you don't live in a condo, don't drive because you can't support electronic stop lights, don't watch TV, don't use headphones to listen to your iPod, which you will need because you can't listen to CDs or watch DVDs anyway, hopefully you have good hearing because you can never invest in hearing aides, don't plan on playing any video games to keep yourself busy and don't use shotguns or rifles to protect your family if someone tries to force themselves into your non-condominium, don't eat Kentucky Fried Chicken, especially because if you need an artificial heart or actually any open heart surgery at all, you are in trouble. Oh and don't drink too much because if your kidneys go out, you can't be put on dialysis.

Get your facts straight. There is a huge different between the mainstream LDS church and the other "reformed/fundamentalist" mormon groups. The mainstream LDS church takes child abuse and rape in the same degree as murder.
I don't think that it is fair to say that just because someone's religious views are contrary to yours that you call it "hate." Hate is a very strong word. The LDS (Mormon) Church holds marriage in the highest sanctity because of the powers of procreation and being able to bring other human beings into this world. There is nothing wrong with that. But because of the sacredness of child-bearing within marriage, they have the strong belief that marriage should be between a man and woman. Classifying this as hate is wrong and extremely detrimental to the members of the LDS church. Plus, if you read and understand the article, they aren't making mass phone calls to every one in California. They are asking church members to contact friends and family to remind them about the issue. Its not about denying love for another person. Its about the members of this church having a deep reverent religious view about marriage. That is not hate. Shame on all of you. No one here is any better for trying to come up with reasons on why Mormons are so horrible. Talk about hate... Grow up.
