This thread discusses the Content article: Dissent and blasphemy

D&C 112:23-26 refers to "gross darkness (covering) the minds of the people" and of the Lord's "vengeance" coming "speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth."

Guess that explains Cannon, Hatch, and Bennett's globalist-loving voting record to produce the New World Order's Masonic Messiah!

To blaspheme is to speak evil of -- to revile or speak reproachfully of God or anything sacred. What is more sacred than the family as God intended and His words through His servants?

To "dissent" on issues given of the Lord through His appointed servants is, in my opinion, to "blaspheme."

Wait a minute. Gays who want marriage and families have spoken evil of or reviled families? You've really got me scratching my head on this one.

If you could set aside your scriptures for a moment and just look at the issue on its practical merits or lack thereof alone, maybe you could acknowledge that two men who stay together for the long term are better off than two men who flit from lover to lover because they have no commitment to each other -- because society has discouraged them from making any such commitment. Those are your two choices.

Don't try to add a third option by saying that each of these two men should find a woman to settle down with. We've learned through trial and error that this doesn't work. And it has destroyed countless families.

The only true third option is that such men should relegate themselves to a life of loneliness. Some might make that choice. Let them make it themselves instead of having religious bigots force it down their throats.

Why does the readership at large have to be exposed to mythical doctrine/writen words. Wouldn't this letter be best served under the "Entertainment" section?

It's exactly where it should be - in the "Opinion" section.
