General Conference - Fall 2010

[bigb]

Here we go again...

 

[sirkickyass]

Merging new thread with the other gay marriage discussion. No reason frankllin's view gets its own thread.

 

[C l u t c H 385]

The homophobic remarks in that thread were getting out of control. Any time people are casually referring to others as "gaywads" "fudgepackers" etc in a completely unproblematic way the discussion is not something that I'm willing to tolerate on these boards.

You intolerant prick. Let people live their lives. ****.

 

[C l u t c H 385]

There'd have to be any level of innate value in mockery as a concept for that to be true. That you seem to believe that is revealing.

Your mom is revealing.

 

[One Brow]

Do you seriously think that in 50 years the LDS church will be tolerant of gay sex? I sure as heck don't.

You could be right.

On the oter hand, how many mormons of 70 years ago would have thought there would be priests of al skin colors?

 

[NUMBERICA]

You mean the mark of Cain? God is ever loving and forgiving, except when he's not. Amen.

 

[One Brow]

Don't be an ***. I specified "slippery slope", and "worried".

Yes, and in a context where there has always been a firm, bright line. No church in the USA has ever been forced by the governement to recognize the validitiy of any marriage of which they disapproved. There is no slippery slope here. Your worry is entirely irrational and a response to fear.

Why don't you find the beauty in the solution that has potential to satisfy all?

No such solution exists. There are people that will never be satisifed with less that complete legal indistinguishability between homosexual and heterosexual unions, and those that want to make homosexual acts illegal. You can't satisfy everyone.

Are you really so cynical that you want to hurt and deteriorate the conditions of humanity over this? Who's the real fear-mongerer?

The one who is claiming that gay marriage will somehow "hurt and deteriorate the conditions of humanity", of course.

If they're that easy to mock, maybe they're not as valid as you claim. Just a thought.

Anything can be mocked, regardless of validity.

 

[franklin]

What the hell are you talking about? Because I care unequivocally about an individual's rights and their treatment I am biased? Are you sure you even know what that word means or rather, how it should be or is usually applied? And a little study of what could sooth my frustrations? If that was an attempt to proselytize, you are barking up the wrong tree.

Also, you found a way to address absolutely NOTHING I had said. Good job. That's what the quote feature is there for.

Did I get this wrong and you really are not anti-Mormon? You have come across as extemely anti-Mormon. Maybe I misread you.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Did I get this wrong and you really are not anti-Mormon? You have come across as extemely anti-Mormon. Maybe I misread you.

Why does that have bearing on what it is that I said? If I was pro-mormon, that makes my points more valid somehow? It's irrelevant, just like your initial attempt to address me by quoting me and not actually addressing anything I had to say.

 

[franklin]

Yes, and in a context where there has always been a firm, bright line. No church in the USA has ever been forced by the governement to recognize the validitiy of any marriage of which they disapproved. There is no slippery slope here. Your worry is entirely irrational and a response to fear.

You're right, One brow, I did a terrible job responding. Forget all that. Ima doover.

One Brow, being the fundy she is, and married to the same, tired ideas that she just can't move on from, realizing she was out-gunned and had no logical argument, once again resorted to personal attacks and political rhetoric. Amazing, isn't it folks? Yep, you're all fear-mongerers. One Brow pulled that card once again. I know, I can't believe it myself! One Brow includes all of you with any worries or superstitions of power. Yes, this is so logical, you dirty fear mongerers, that let's just crown One Brow king and get it over with. Why not? All of you with any worries are just fear-mongering. Don't you get it?

I'm still waiting for you to refute the idea. I'm purchasing more laughing stock.

 

[C l u t c H 385]

AIDS BITCH!
