Prop 8: More Important Than I Even Realized

I think before, I figured, I'm not in California, so I won't bother saying anything about Prop 8 on here. I'm not in the middle of it.

The fact that Church (LDS) leaders have asked members who don't even live in California to get on their phones, call CA residents, and ask them to vote yes on it, is a big clue to just how important it is.

I wish I knew how to write something really impressive; all I can say is that I have always firmly believed that no matter what new "if it feels good, it must be right" philosophy the adversary plants in people's heads, homosexuality is still absolutely, irrefutably wrong. Giving it any kind of leeway, rights, or tolerance (notice I said "it," not "them") only suggests that it might be acceptable in the smallest way, which it is not. Besides this, giving it tolerance only gives it a chance to get stronger, poison more minds and spirits, and find a way to not only make a mockery of the ways of the Lord, but to attempt to take away the freedoms and blessings He has given to those who strive to follow Him. It disturbs me to the core to read about the possible ramifications if Prop 8 doesn't pass.

I know that the work of God won't be stopped by any unhallowed hand, but those hands could certainly make life a lot more difficult for His followers, and lead this nation to a very frightening place. I personally do not want my children being taught in school (and this would be a requirement for teachers) that two women or two men marrying is just as good as a man and a woman. No. No, no, no. My child will not believe that mommy could do just as well if she were daddy. The very idea is beyond ludicrous. Unthinkable. Horrifying. UNACCEPTABLE.

If this measure doesn't pass, I have absolutely no doubt that Satan will be DELIGHTED and at the same time, laughing scornfully at those who voted it down, after he told them to. He laughs at those who listen to his lies and fall into the traps that he sets for them, but that they choose to be caught in. That's the horrible irony.

"For behold, at that day shall he rage in the hearts of the children of men, and stir them up to anger against that which is good." (2 Nephi 28:20 in the Book of Mormon.)
