The Mormon Church did more than any other religious establishment to fight the sodomites effort to further trash marriage in California in regards to Prop 8 that recently passed. In return, the sodomites have directed a lot of their hate toward the Mormons. Shame on the Christian churches that stood on the sidelines, or even sided with the Devil. God Bless the Churches that actively supported traditional marriage and our freedom from having the government impose a twisted definition of marriage onto Californians.
A big Thank You to the Mormon Church.

Other christian groups contributed to the yes on prop 8 campaign. The Mormons are getting harassed by the sodomites because they are most likely a easier target and most likely to cave into sodomite demands. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-pr...0,3827549.story
"I am appalled at the level of Mormon-bashing that went on during the Proposition 8 campaign and continues to this day," he said. "If this activity were directed against any other church, if someone put up a website that targeted Jews or Catholics in a similar fashion for the mere act of participating in a political campaign, it would be widely and rightfully condemned."Members and leaders of the Catholic Church and other Christian churches were also heavily involved in the campaign to pass Proposition 8. The Knights of Columbus, which is tied to the Catholic Church, gave $1 million, and several evangelical groups gave millions more. But they have not come under the same kind of attack.Leaders of the No-on-8 campaign said they did not believe they were engaged in Mormon-bashing. "This is not about religion," said Jacobs. "This is about a church that put itself in the middle of politics."

Lorri L. Jean, chief executive of the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center, which organized the rally outside the temple, announced the launch of a new website, invalidateprop8.org, which will raise money to fight for same-sex marriage rights in California.For every $5 donated, Jean said, a postcard will be sent to the president of the Mormon church condemning "the reprehensible role the Church of Latter-day Saints leadership played in denying all Californians equal rights under the law.""It is a travesty that the Mormon Church bought this election and used a campaign of lies and deception to manipulate voters in the great state of California," she said.David Loder, 40, a business manager from Corona and a member of the Mormon church, heard about the protest on the radio. He said he was saddened by the anger directed against the church.Loder said he had not given money to the Yes-on-8 campaign because finances are tight raising five daughters, but he did put a sign in his frontyard. It was vandalized, he said.

Come on guys. Referring to homosexuals as Sodomites is pretty much the same as referring to black people as nig*ers. It ain't nice.Can't we make a good point without the derogatory terms, please?
I forgot, this is an English-only forum. Sodomite is a legitimate word. It means someone who engages in sodomy. A homosexual is not someone who necessarily engages in sodomy. A homosexual might be just someone struggling with a feeling. The issue here is not of homosexuality but about morally legitimizing sodomistic behavior.

I'm fully aware of the fact that it is a legitimate word.But we both know that it is inflammatory language, just like the word fagot (which can be a bundle of sticks). And its use tends to become the focus of a discussion where it is used.Plus, it seems that Christians should be able to converse without using unnecessarily inflammatory language. That's all.

Actually it is not and it is "******" not "fagot". ****** applies to those who engage in sodomy and is a variation of the word fagot does not apply to those who engage in sodomy.http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Sodomite
