Thank you...Couldn't have said it better, Terry. Thank you. <br /><br />And good point about this petition possibly being seen by the church as a sign of external pressure which fits right in with the church's history of succumbing through "Elder Prophecy." Hadn't thought about it that way and you make an excellent point.Phillip Mintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06680426451733583939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927755339790602529.post-66680687489797406892009-06-24T00:15:07.844-07:002009-06-24T00:15:07.844-07:00The Mormon's circumspection about polygamy and...The Mormon's circumspection about polygamy and African Americans came because of external forces. <br /><br />In the case of polygamy, Utah wanted to be admitted to the Union but was told it had to renounce polygamy. <br /><br />In the case of the century long discrimination against African Americans, it was the head of the Church being hauled into court to face a discrimination lawsuit. <br Terry Leftgoffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927755339790602529.post-81554124178343690832009-06-23T20:48:11.510-07:002009-06-23T20:48:11.510-07:00Indeed...Its all well and good to want peace and h...Indeed...Its all well and good to want peace and harmony between all BUT as you said...Its gotta be wanted on both sides and also as you pointed out, I dont see the fundietards giving up anytime soon nor am I willing to trust those who hang with them yet claim to be for equality.

But I also think I am the only person who thinks that civil unions are a better idea than "marriage" because then it would kick religions out of the mix altogether. They wouldnt be able to claim that the state is trying to control the church.Symphlovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405371981038693823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927755339790602529.post-29947600254506881552009-06-23T16:23:56.753-07:002009-06-23T16:23:56.753-07:00I don't think the well-meaning instigators of ...I don't think the well-meaning instigators of this "Reconciliation" Petition know the first thing about Mormons.
