idiocracy November 3, 2008
Posted by brandon in : politics, ramblings , trackbackbeing raised mormon has always left me with a certain ‘view’ of the mormon church. i left as soon as i was old enough to realize what a hypocritical joke it was. and it’s funny to see how little non-mormons know about the mormon church. even funnier is how little MORMONS themselves know about the mormon church.
all of that aside, i’ve never had a reason to really rally against and hate the mormon church. i’ve just been more along the lines of indifferent, as i really think all organized religion is a joke. that is, until prop8 came along.
prop8 is a ballot proposition in california to change the california constitution to ban all gay marriage.
read that again. and then again. yes – AMERICA is still that ignorant, closeminded, and full of bigotry and hatred. why shouldn’t same sex couple’s be allowed to marry? what makes them ANY different than anyone else? why should they be denied the same rights as everyone else?
that’s where religion steps in. religion brainwashes everyone into thinking that sme sex couples are EVIL and are destroying our country. and blah blah blah. etc. the mormon church has funded over 20 MILLION DOLLARS to try and get prop8 passed. because according to their leaders, ‘it is a direct commandment from god.’ take a look at www.protectmarriage.com and the open ignorance and hatred right on their website.
to see the mormon church actively trying to deny rights to regular everyday people and trying to force that into the government is very disturbing to me. mormonism has been elevated from just another stupid religion to a brainwashing, ignorant herd of bigots in my opinion. and yes i know this will offend some of you, but too bad, your religion has deeply offended me. while we as a race try to advance ourselves past petty issues like this, you like to drag us backwards and keep us there.
and on that note, i leave you with this gem:
