Sorry the line of code didn’t come through.

“meta content=”Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1″ name=”GENERATOR”"

How’s that?

On another note: I just noticed this. If you look at the page source for the “Mormons Stole Our Rights” page you notice this on the fifth line:

“”

Makes you wonder about cheap propaganda and who is maintaining that site. It could be a couple of random people in some basement making it. They seem to fail to identify themselves or why they are really attacking the Church.

Anyway enough with my ad hominem attacks.

I find it interesting that this organization of “concerned Bay Area Californians” are doing the same thing they are accusing the LDS Church of doing. They are participating in a political process, advocating a position and trying to get others to agree with them. The only difference is that they make the claim that because the Church is a Religion they should have no say or voice or participation in any way with the political process of this country, even to the point of defending its most cherished beliefs. This is an attitude that what a church teaches on Sunday should have no bearing on how we or anybody else should live their life the other 6 days (or 7) of the week. So then what is the purpose and point of religion? Their answer: None. So from one perspective this is not just about marriage but about defending our religion and all religion in this country. We are asserting the idea that our religious beliefs and morals still influence and should influence how we live our lives.

Religion is not a panacea for the [ignorant] masses, but a way or living and learning that keeps our society together and prevents a disintegration or loss of the very things that create our society in the first place.
