The Mormon Church, Gee, where should I begin!!!

The Mormon Church is said to have bankrolled the passage of Prop 8 in California and other Same Sex Marriage propositions. They were the main financial backers and volunteers of the Yes on Prop 8 campaign. That an organization that is based out of UTAH would stick its HYPOCRITICAL nose in the politics of another state is unfathomable. That this same organization that has practiced RACISM and POLYGAMY (and certain factions still do) since its inception, sits in judgment of someone else is ridiculous to say the least. The Mormon Church has used its Tax Exempt status to further their agenda of HATE and EXCLUSION.

Up until 1978, people of African Descent were not allowed to receive Priesthood. Before then, the "seed of Cain" was a cursed people with the color of their skin being their mark. The political pressure that was applied to the Mormon Church culminated with a "revelation" to then President Spencer Kimball, that said all "worthy men" could receive the Priesthood. The fact that their scriptures state that the "lineage of Cain" could NEVER RECEIVE the Priesthood, evidently was a lie. I guess political pressure has a way of changing the interpretation of the scripture. Imagine that!

While Bigamy and Polygamy were outlawed by both the United States government and the Mormon Church, it is still practiced by many factions of the Mormon Church, including Mormon Fundamentalist groups such as Apostolic United Brethren, and the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The FCLDS not only adheres to polygamy, but they also force girls as young as 14 to marry men as old as 49 years old! These Mormon factions are allowed to practice their ILLEGAL actions in full view of the authorities and only recently have there been any government enforcement to stop them. This practice is met with a wink, wink, nudge, nudge, reaction or SILENCE by the Mormon Church. This inaction is interesting considering their intrusion into the lives of Gays and Lesbians.

In 2008, Mitt Romney, a Mormon and Republican, ran for the GOP Presidential nomination. Initially, Romney was the frontrunner in the election. But the more his Mormon Faith was brought up, the lower his poll numbers fell. Eventually he was forced to drop out of the race. Not even the Religious Right would stand with or support Romney. The shadowy nature of the Mormon Church effectively derailed his presidential candidacy and I doubt that will change anytime soon. The Vatican even sent out a DIRECT ORDER to not allow the Mormon Church access to each Catholic parish's registers.

The Mormon Church took an overactive involvement in the Prop 8 campaign by donating over 8 million dollars to the campaign, volunteering countless hours telephoning, emailing, texting, and using the Internet to further bigotry. The fact that the Mormon Church takes an outwardly neutral stance to POLYGAMY but an OVERACTIVE stance to Same Sex marriage shows them to be the HYPOCRITES that they are. If protecting "Traditional Marriage" was their real agenda, why don't they start with their own members who are marrying CHILDREN and committing RAPE in the process? If one man one woman is their aim, why do they turn a Blind eye and a deaf ear to the bigamy and polygamy practiced by some of their members? Who we marry doesn't affect them at all. Who anyone marries doesn't affect anyone else as long as they are both consenting adults.

If it is found that the Mormon Church abused its Tax Exempt status, this BILLION DOLLAR industry should be taxed just like any other industry. BIGOTRY and INTOLERANCE should not be Tax Exempt!
