And that's how I interpreted it, personally.

My final point in this is, that Mitt, Mormon Christians are not narrowminded bible thumping neandrathals that you sometimes attempt to paint us to be.

no different from the positions of the kinds of Christians who see Mormons as no different than the Hale-Bop people.
and i misunderstood you on the "ppl" point. my apologies.
diamond said:Where we part is in ideologies:
I don't agree with your views on HIV, you’ve posted that it *isn't* a precursor to AIDS, (in other threads) however medical science largely disagrees with you.
I don't agree with you that African men shouldn't be circumcised, you posted in other threads that African men shouldn't have to undergo this procedure when medical science says it would reduce AIDS by 50% on the African continent, I disagree with you there.
You've supported elective abortions due to deformities or potential deformities found in a pre born children. That could open up a flood gate for more late term abortions.
Remarkable ppl like:
Stephen Hawking
Helen Keller
Thomas Edision
Bryan Lambke
could have been aborted, under your line of proposed thinking.
Lastly, I as well as with millions of others are not convinced that the gay question is completely genetic- too many Ex Gays have said they made conscious choices to be Gay and you can't arbitrarily dismiss those ppl, maybe there are both factors to consider.
My point in this is, that Mitt, Mormon Christians are not narrowminded bible thumping neandrathals that you sometimes you attempt paint us to be.
diamond said:My point is that although Melon is educated everything that Melon posts isn't Gospel, a lot of it is debatable theory.
Diemen said:When you can't back up your arguments, you've got to deflect the attention from that somehow... why not through condescension? It's the diamond way.
diamond said:and reaching out to the nearest hetrosexual and telling them you're not mad at them, and that you don't hate them.
diamond said:First online news conference presented by LDS church to clarify items such as
-It's not endorsing Mitt, it never endorses polictical candidates.
-Disspells some misconceptions
-Explains some theological beliefs.

diamond said:It looked like Mitt was about to be sabotaged.
He read the situation, made his statement and moved on.
He's against Medical Marijuna, and for good reason.
In a recent 60 Minutes segment, it showed how Medical Marijuna usage is being abused. Potheads in Calif were making up excuses for getting prescriptions filled. People (Potheads) complained about "maladies" such as "itchy skin" to "aniexty" were getting their scripts filled by a script Dr, the script Doc was exposed on 60 Minutes.
A few of my family members have Muscular Dystrophy and none have ever needed Medical Marijuna for their condition- that's not to say this fellow may actually need the drug THC for his condition, but I am a tiny bit familar with Muscular Dystrophy.
Now that's not to say Mitt couldn't of handled himself a tiny bit differently in the situation, but he sensed that questioner's motives were duplitious.
I do recognize that most potheads are in favor of Medical Marijuna, and it's easy to connect the dots.
good day,
