A Prop 8 challenge for swankers - Page 13

BarTopDancer · 10-23-2008, 06:21 PM

We need a list of all the supporters (besides the LDS church) who are financing Yes on 8.

Now that I think about it, this is probably one of the largest examples of a church forcing its will on the state.

Here you go! (If you can stomach a visit to their webpage, that is.)

GMTA. I went to get a list. It forced a registration, so I used "Jesus said don't judge" for the name and "equalityforall@itswhatjesuswoulddo.com" for the email.

Really? I was able to look at the lists without registration.

The pdf threat mentions something about undoing -- in the name of majority rule -- what four "unelected jurists" have done The irony there clearly escapes them.

And every name on the list is of a religous nature it would seem. You know - I don't tell them how to run their churches - but boy would I like to.

My daughter would really like to go to church with her friend. My husband and I do no attend church... we both did growing up, going to youth group etc and then realizing it was just not for us.

We won't let her go to church with her friend and their family. We've offerend to let her go with our mother in law instead - and she doesn't want to. It's more of doing stuff with her friend then going to church.

But this prop 8 BS just confirms that we totally made the right decision. I have no idea what silly ideas they'll try and brainwash her with and I have no intention of going to church first to find out.

Call me close minded if you want. I just can't get over people telling others to hate. The twisting of the words of the bible, the cherry picked things that are chosen to follow and ignore. It's just sickening. There is just no realy grasp of the "practice what you preach".

I'm going to have to start taking the 133 to and from work just to avoid all the people with Yes on 8 signs out there. They invoke such feelings of anger. I thought Jesus said don't judge, love everyone.

I'm actually thinking of plastering the area with my own signs on telephone poles and such, just so I can drive to work feeling good instead of pissed off. I totally understand how ya feel, BTD.

Morrigoon · 10-24-2008, 08:28 AM

By the way, has anyone had a chance to complete the challenge yet? I'm planning on doing it this weekend. There are only 11 days left till the election.

I heard a new ad on the radio this morning - must better. Directly addresses the teaching kids about marriage angle.
