A tendency to steal.
Thanks! <3As in more bigotry trying to steal or rights as humans and our rights as American citizens.
Be nice! You should be proud of me for not knowing very much slang!Jeremiah said::thud:

again, why would this matter to an athiest anyways?
What can you say to an atheist? "when you die nothign happens...."
i could do that to make you feel better if you like.
but then i'd be breaking a commandment, the one about lying, cause i know somethign marvelous happens when you leave this temporal existence.Yes say it, say it now!

See, for example:I would liek to see how the church is involved in world politics directly. i would appreciate information to back yous statement
Obviously, the church has various ways of making money. Nevertheless, the LDS Church and every church or organization that has tax-exempt status benefits from the taxes paid by others, as well as from having more disposable income because they don't have to pay taxes. That amounts to the subsidizing of all tax-exempt organizations by the taxpayers.Nope, Tithing and thier own direct investments are how the church makes money,
How heartwarming. Maybe it would help you to understand how that sounds to me if I give an parallel example: Christianity has been pre-defined, and it is not up to the Mormons to change it. I never said Mormons shouldn't have equal rights; they can have their cult, whatever they want to call it, but it should be a completely separate entity from the term "Church." The law should prohibit them from using the term "Church" or calling themselves "of Jesus Christ" since they don't meet the requirements to use those terms.You should not have "marriage" rights. you can have all your Civil union, whatever you want to call it,i could care less what you want to call it. but, it should be a completely separate entity from the term "Marriage." I never said you should nto have equal rights. I only stated that Marriage has been pre-defined and that youa re the one who wants to change it now. i believe that in order to be married you should complete the requirements to actually be "Married" (Marriage being the lawful union of a Man and a Woman).
Just so: Mormons should be welcomed and treated with a modicum of respect, as long as they don't practice their Mormonism. Who needs such condescending treatment? Only those who have been so damaged by their church that they're willing to be collaborators in their own oppression.I said the ACTS are what mock's god, not you, you forgot to quote where i said that we have members of the church who believe they are "gay" but refuse to act on those urges because they know it's wrong.
If we were truely bigots we wouldn't allow anyone who has declared themselves as "gay" to even join the church. we only disallow them to enter temples if they act on thier urges.
You don't know me.You are the one who doesn't like to hear opinions contrary to your own. I appreciate comments contray to my own because they help me to understand other people and to see a broader picture than i did before. you are the one who doesn't have self control over your mind. you are the one who can't wait to finish reading this to reply with yet another vague and un-informative post.
Your church leaders are bigots. It's not derogatory to point out a simple fact.Youa re the one posting blatant derogatory comments towards my church and it's leaders.
Because people who follow the bigoted teachings of their religion also tend to vote accordingly, and that affects me.MidnightBlue - it says in ur profile that you are an atheist, so why should it matter what we think since we believe in a god and you dont?
Way off topic, but I'll address it in another thread. See here.or do you actually believe in a god but want to be on the "Athiest" bandwagon so you can be accepted by your friends?? or do you feel like you want to not believe in a god because then you can feel free to do what you want without concequence? what is it really like for you i woudl like to truely know.
:biglaugh:It's not that. I just never thought of "sticky fingers" in that way. I was thinking "dirty" what does she mean, than I was like
Bested by a girl :sad4:
Why are there very few families like the OP? Good question. Possibly because the world would be in a worse state than it currently is (which would be hard...) were it a fact that the male in every household rules over his clan like a president.

I've been saying this for years... :yes:In that case, we should get the government out of the marriage business. I hereby propose a constitutional amendment stating that the government can only give anyone civil unions. If the word "marriage" is so charged with religious overtones as to demand such protective action, then we ought to separate church and state for good.
All in favor, please sign the petition.
