How many of the Mormons who are actively trying to ban gay marriage in California really believe it's the right thing to do?
How many of them didn't even stop to think about how they felt about the situation?
How many of them did as they were told without a second thought?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches obedience to it's followers. You do as the prophet and other appointed leaders tell you to do, and if you don't you are "Saying no to God." Most Mormons believe this is the worst thing you could possibly do, and if they disobeyed they would have to answer for it.
I had a conversation with a friend at the Ex-Mormon conference last week. She told me that many of the people in her ward were being asked to call people in California and pressure them to vote for the gay marriage ban. Her friend cried as she told her Relief Society president that she couldn't bring herself to do it. The RF President looked this woman in the eyes and said, "You are not saying no to me, you are saying no to President Monson."
This is enough to make me barf.
A Mormon's life is a perpetual game of follow the leader.
Help us all.

WindySydney began as an online journal detailing my exit from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Since leaving the Mormon Church, I have come to the conclusion that religion does more harm than good. I have also become an atheist, looking for logic and reason instead of accepting things on faith.
I also blog about things going on in my life. I am learning photography, I have a severe addiction to diet coke, I am a proud vegetarian, and I have two of the cutest cats in the world. Life is officially an adventure without the magical fairy-tale ending. I plan on enjoying it.

Fuck president Monson.
October 25, 2008 at 12:26 PM
Yes.
Fuck Monson indeed.
I don't even like referring him to a president. There is no denying the church has changed dramatically since Hinkley died. Monson has no idea how much he is hurting the church... and I hope it stays that way.
If he keeps up his hatred brigade more and more people will wake up and realize that he doesn't receive revelation from God. God would have no part in what he is doing. None.

Yeah, you think that is bad. Trying living in So Cal!!!! I cannot go anywhere without those damn mormon's hold "yes on h8" signs. I have taken to giving them ALL the finger! We are talking that they are on all 4 corners in an intersection.
You want to see some serious ignorance? Watch this interview with people....When you get to 1 minute and 40 seconds in when you see some serious ignorance....(what do you mean, what is our stance?). It seems that the mormons were assigned to this area, and the "no" people live in the area.

This makes me so mad I cannot stand it.
Here is another very entertaining one of good old tommy boy...you will see the definition of hypocrite!!!! He cares more about a paper boy, than the members of his "flock" he is supposed to love and support.

Dude, I wouldn't want to be in Southern California right now... I would get into some serious altercations with these ignorant assholes. No doubt.
I can't believe how stupid some people are!
