And the problem is that if they allow in those radicals advocating same sex marriage, the conservatives won’t sign on because all of their heterosexual marriages will just go up in smoke, cease to exist, go kaput. All of their perfect children will then come from split homes. And, oh yes, the locusts will come and devour the grain in the fields. It sounds very much like some of the discussions I remember from my ill-spent youth. If you won’t play by my rules, I’ll take my ball and go home. <br /><br />Well guess what guys; “It ain’t gonna work”. Gays are not going back in the closet. Women are not going to give up the vote. Freed people are not going back into servitude. Women are not going to go barefoot (unless it’s deemed fashionable), etc. etc. etc. <br /><br />If case they haven’t noticed the writing on the State house walls recently, more and more of the states are beginning the process toward full marriage equality. These bishops really need a strong dose of reality.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623709712119761741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-89060343788459131232009-05-06T13:16:00.000-04:002009-05-06T13:16:00.000-04:00So, wait, we've got WMD in our resolutions?So, wait, we've got WMD in our resolutions?Mary Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14565978226362711401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-91606096605380519772009-05-06T12:14:00.000-04:002009-05-06T12:14:00.000-04:00David - I like your translation much better than m...David - I like your translation much better than mine.
