I am LDS or aka Mormon, so no wonder an article in the Salt Lake Tribune seemed offensive. Well it wan't the article but some quotes from the gay and lesbian community that to me are insulting. Recently a leader of the church restated the church's beliefs: no sex out of marriage, and marriage is between a man and a woman. This caused a stir in the gay community, and some groups wanted the church to change its stand on the issue. I believe that the Church is run by men who receive revelation from God, and by telling the church to change their views they blatantly ignoring this fact. I am not asking you to believe this and now I will explain how this is important to all Conservatives, and not just those of the LDS faith. The church's views haven't changed in the 150 years or so that it has been around. Those ideas were first accepted, but now recently we can see that many people see those beliefs as outdated. We can see the slow slide of society towards the left. Our society used to respect religious views and society would form around them. Now our society has little respect for them and expect religions to follow society, and when that happens we are asking for a society that will cease to exist.
I am not asking anyone to convert to my church, but I felt this was a serious issue that struck home for me. Here is the link to the article:
