The Morman hypothetical

[VINYLONE]

The same discipline as someone else who breaks the law of chastity. Bottom line is the Church views gay sex a sin. SHOCKER!!!!!......I am married and my body wants to have sex with half the girls at UVU, but if I did I would be punished.

Some Mormons consider themselves alcoholics and that's not a sin, but them acting on their temptation is. Its really not that hard to understand.

Are you considered a "so-called" heterosexual?

 

[Archie Moses]

Do you think we have control over the institutions we belong to or the teachings we listen to?

What do you think?

 

[VINYLONE]

What do you think?

I say yes. For the most part. Not all, but for the most part yes.

I dont find the term "so-called" offensive. The term gay use to mean happy. Hinckley was referring to what we know as modern words for gays and lesbians. If someone said I was a "so-called" Mormon I would not be offended.

I guess it depends on the institutions and the teachings.

Vinylone, in all seriousness, what was the point of this thread? What were you looking to get out of it?

Well, good to hear. Your so-called morality is interesting to say the least.

The #1 dictionary defintion for "so-called" is:

popularly known or called by this term

So yes I am serious.

Those that responded with a comparison between drug addiction and homosexuality, do you believe that homosexuality can be cured like in the cases of drug or alcohol addiction?

For the most part yes.

I'm interested to know why Hinckley used the term "so-called."

Keep in mind Pres. Hinckley grew up decades before the term "gay" meant anything but "happy".
