		<description><![CDATA[Way to spew out the propaganda... Talk to people who can&#039;t visit sick relatives in the hospital because they aren&#039;t &quot;family&quot; or are just seeking EQUAL treatment under the law.  People said similar things about segregation, seperate but equal, its not an attack but good for everyone..... come on..... This is a direct attack on people&#039;s rights.  Define marriage however you want, such a stupid comment, we aren&#039;t arguing semantics over here, its about freedom...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I agree completely.  It is time that these political bodies that go by as churches should be taxed.  They are the worst of all when it comes to bigotry and the first to claim themselves as victims of bigotry.  The mirror is there. Look at yourselves with honesty and ask yourselves why you are go determined to disallow gays to get married.  Look at the state of marriage in the United States.  Why are so many people no longer marrying?  It has nothing to do with gays.  It has to do with the demands marriage places on couples who find it impossible to remain faithful to one person the rest of their lives.  They have fallen out of love and no ceremony can hold these unions together.  There are myriads of reasons that marriages fail.  If there were no gays marriage in our country would still be in disarray.  We have had presidents who have divorced or who have married people who were divorced or who have children who have divorced.  Divorce affects almost everyong in some way or another and it has nothing to do with gays.  Why are gays their scapegoats?  I just don&#039;t understand it.  Who elected you the judges of the planet? It&#039;s about time you read  the first amendment:
CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF; OR ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, OR OF THE PRESS; OR THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE PEACEABLY TO ASSEMBLE, AND TO PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.  
Mormons and members of other faiths are determined to ram their bigotry down our throats.  Yet, they are the first to squawk whenever anyone reminds them that they have limits.
What I never can understand is the fact that there are members with gay children.  How can they stand aside as these organizations villify their children and do everything possible to strip them of their rights that are, according to Declaration of Independence, unalienable.  Look it up..]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Mormons have a history of &quot;blaming&quot; renegade members when caught with the hands in the cookie jar.  The holocaust victim baptisms are a prime example - it wasn&#039;t sanctioned, it was a rogue member.

Too many Mission Impossible movies - if caught you will be disavowed, but guaranteed a free pass to Mormon heaven.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, anyone with in the congregation has access to it. People sometimes use if for purposes not related to church business and are asked not to. This would violate that policy. A member of my ward sent out a mass conservative email and besides generating a few angry replies from liberal members, he was also called out by the bishop and told to use it for official church reasons only.]]></description>
