Court: California gay marriage ban is unconstitutional

[TroutBum]

Ya, I got nothing.

I could be wrong, but I think Trout was referring to the LDS church institution, not individual members.
Members can run for office if they want, but should keep their religious beliefs out of it.
Am I right or wrong Mr Dave?

Is there a law that says person must keep their religious views out of politics? I must have missed that one...or are you creating a new law?

So the Mormon prophet and apostles who run the church should shut up because they are on the "wrong" side of the homosexual marriage issue?

Don't Mormons get excommunicated for believing they know better than the "prophet of God?"

I didn't dismiss them, I responded to them. Further, I asked you to provide some support for your "reasons". Since you've given none, I can only assume that your stated reasons that make sense (in this case, your religious beliefs) are your only real reasons. Asking and answering questions is how you have a discussion.

Oh, that's good. Well, I responded to everything too. I just chose "No response" as my response.

I am under no obligation to answer anything. If I feel like coming in here and stating a point and then leaving for good, I can do that.
Or is there a rule on Jazzfanz that says that I have to answer EVERY question that comes to me?

No rule, of course, but I hope everyone ridicules the **** out of you if you choose to be such a tool.

Don't put words in my mouth.
I never said there was a law against it.
It's my opinion that they should keep their religious views out of it.

I really liked you Craig but I am having an increasingly hard time doing so and I generally like everyone.

I never said the mormon church will lose or is going to lose that status. I never defended unions with that status getting involved in politics. The discussion was specifically about the mormon church as an institution not getting involved in politics.

Any organization/group with a tax exempt status should stay out of politics as a organization/group unless they do not care about that tax exempt status.

You just automatically assume everyone is against you when that is not the truth at all. Hopefully you are only trolling and this is not really your outlook on life. If it is I pity you.

That is the problem though. He has no interest in what you are really saying. Only in how he can spin it.

Uh, hasn't everyone been doing that already? Is that going to defeat me somehow?

It is incredibly difficult to defeat the willfully ignorant.

I'm officially convinced that we've all been the victim of one of the better troll jobs on this forum. I suppose congrats is in order for Craig, because damn, you go girl.

Okay....I get that

Is that what the tax law is? or is it just your opinion

You just automatically assume everyone is against you when that is not the truth at all.

Uh, hardly. I know a lot of people are on my side. I don't feel persecuted at all.

Hopefully you are only trolling and this is not really your outlook on life. If it is I pity you.

I have been quite honest. I am not saying things just to be a troll. I do phrase things in such a way that tends to get on people's nevers, but I always do that. I throw a lot of inside jokes into things I say. Most of my friends really love that about me. People who aren't my friends hate me for it.

But yes, this is my outlook on life. But I would say that you should not waste your pity on me.

Late last night, a girl I know well asked me what I was up to. I told her I was having a ball. She asked what I was doing. I sent her a link to this thread. She loved it and said she was very proud of me. Take that for whatever you think it's worth.
