I would not be surprised if this was done to them by someone who is against gays getting married. Just to make it look like gays are these horrible people. Hopefully we will find out who has done it and punish them accordingly be it a gay or straight person.

Since the people of California voted to reaffirm the sanctity of traditional marriage between a man and a woman on November 4, 2008, places of worship have been targeted by opponents of Proposition 8 with demonstrations and, in some cases, vandalism. People of faith have been intimidated for simply exercising their democratic rights. These are not actions that are worthy of the democratic ideals of our nation. The end of a free and fair election should not be the beginning of a hostile response in America

Its funny that we live in an America so paralyzed by fear and the treat of terrorist attacks, that some crushed up aspirin or baking soda in an envelope can cause mass hysteria.

I don't condone terrorism, even these types of silly maneuvers....but that being said the mormons had it coming. did they really think there wouldn't be backlash?

Keep your religion out of peoples rights to live their lives however they want.

They had it coming, eh? For what, voting? The church has not and does not advocate the revoking of any rights or freedoms. They simply don’t want civil unions called marraige. It may be a matter of semantics, but it is important to the religious community. It hardly warrants death threats, aspirin disguised as anthrax letters, and vandalism. If people want to protest the church, I have no problem with that, that is their right, but to espouse violence and threats is unwarranted.

It is also interesting that the Mormons are really the only group getting such treatment. Sure there have been a few isolated incidents against Catholics, but by and large the Mormons have received the ”punishment”. Why aren’t the ”tolerant” libs targeting the Mormons also trashing evangelicals, Catholics, Blacks, or Hispanics? It is because Mormons are an easy target and the libs face no real political backlash. Those people are spineless hypocrits who in no way espouse unity, peace, or tolerance despite what their words are. They call for tolerance and peace with a stone and club in hand ready to attack.

Finally Michael, you say ”Keep your religion out of peoples rights to live their lives however they want.”

Would you then advocate polygamy? would you support the FLDS folks in Texas, Utah, and Colorado? (excepting of course the allegations of child abuse)? Would you support a middle-aged never married woman who lives with her cat to choose to legally marry her cat if she wanted?

The fact is, a society has the right and obligation to determine moral standards for the society in which they live. Each society will have differing levels of tolerance, but they do have the right at setting limits. The question we constantly face is ”where are our limits”. 100 years ago, it was much more strict than today. But it appears that our society is not yet ready to recognize marriage between a man and a man. That is the right of society to dictate that, whether you like it or not. And all of that is outside the religion argument. Live and let live without any bounds on moral standards or activities will eventually lead to chaos and anarchy. Would gay marriage lead to that? No, not at all. But it is one more step down a slippery slope.

Finally, I find it interesting that we give so much credence to liberal groups and gay and lesbian groups with little criticism, yet are so quick to trash and dismiss religous organizations as kooks. What makes the lib groups more relevant or right? There is hypocricy all around.

That is utterly ridiculous. The left wing idealogues in our country, to include many in the ”gay and lesbian community”, have demonstrated over the years their lack of tolerance towards anything ”conservative” or religious. In the past 20-30 years they have a much larger record of violent/semi-violent protest and outrage than those on the right do. It has largely been the religious community on the right that has been passive and taken it in the rear from the left.

Yeah, I am much overlived an age when playing pillow-games was a kinda inventory.

Registering same sex couples just benefits government coffins, as singles are getting more in social services and insurances.

At the end of the day if no reproduction targeted, copulating just a time-passing-by act only.

Please, allow discretion as I think 16+ read this topic predominantly.
