Marriage and rights.

If you have not heard already, in California there is a movement to strike back against those that supported Prop 8, amending California's constitution to ban same sex marriage. They are targeting those of us that are Mormon. Twice the people in CA have spoken, twice they have stated that marriage consists of a man and a woman. The first time was overturned by the Liberal CA Supreme Court due to the CA Constitution not defining marriage. The second time it was an amendment to the CA Constitution, unable to be overturned by the courts. Now as we watch the news you will see there are protesters gathering in the streets to move against this. So help me understand the mentality of this; If I don't get my way, protest until I do? Then lets do the same, I don't like the fact that we have a communist president that is being hailed as the Messiah by some people. It is not his color that I rail against, it is his history, his stance on things, his blatant lying and his Socialistic/Communistic/Marxist/Jihad Muslim ties. Lets get people all over the US to stand up against him, before he raises his own "SA/BrownShirt" Army. He has already called for it.

I know what I say is not read by many, but I hope that those that do read understand that we are at war here. It is not a war fought with guns (at least not yet) but a war over what is right and what is wrong. There is a belief that Satan is not real, there is a belief that he is a figure made to scare little children. I tell you he is real, as is our Savior Jesus Christ, and that this war is fought not only here amongst us with words, but amongst those on the other side. We as Christians and especially Mormons have been silent too long. This movement that has started in CA is just the beginning. Web sites have popped up stating that we stole their rights, and another taking the words of our beloved Gordan B Hinkly and using them for this great evil, compelling those of religious background to denounce their church, mainly aimed at Mormons.

"We must always take sides, Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim, silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." ~ Eliezer Wiesel

This was used in the campaign to get Prop 8 repealed. I believe it is a call for all of us to stand up, to be silent no more. I am tired of hearing about how different organizations have made it wrong to show your religion, to show our heritage as a country. Stand up! I know that we as Mormons have been closed off to other religions due to religious views, but we must look at the commonalities. We all believe in Marriage, whatever way we do, that it is between a man and a woman as has been defined throughout history, as it was set up through religion in the first place. Only recently have governments interfered with this sacred tradition and allowed same sex marriage. The Opponents of Proposition 8 have stated that we need to keep the separation of church and state. I call for the same, keep the government out of religious practices! Same sex couples have almost all the same liberties as married couples in CA, so why encroach upon a religious ceremony? Again, I call for Christians across the board, put down your differences and unite. I am not calling for hate against those that choose to live an alternate lifestyle, I do not hate the person, but I do not condone the breaking of Gods laws.
