Look as far as I know it, I won't be converting you anytime soon or changing your views against our church, all I really have tried to do is get you to just back off and lighten up a little.
"What me worry?"
I am sorry for your friend and I'm sorry taht his family set a bad example for our religion. If the father thought paligamy is ok well then he should've been excommunicated if the church ever found out about it. But the fact that he had a crappy family should not be setting an example of what our religion is like. Just because your Mormon doesn't mean your perfect or have to act perfect or live by perfect standards. I feel for your friend.
Homosexuality is a sin. But God loves everyone no matter what happens. My dad told me that you can dislike the sin but still love the sinner. As for Blacks, well, at the beginning our church had our struggles to overcome for the first 100 years. There were blacks that in fact did carry the preisthood long before the 1970's but that was thru lineage. There were also many white people that weren't allowed to hold the preisthold as well. It wasn't until the 1970's that Spencer Kimbel fixed it. I forget the reason why it didn't happen sooner but I'll get back to you on that.
Masturbation has been quoted in the Bible and has been used in the Bible but it is still a sin. There are several other things that go on in the bible too, but you won't be seeing me sacrifice my frist born or a sheep in god's name.
Oh BTW fatdan, not to ridicule a fellow brotheren but the way you have handled this so far has somewhat turned it into a pissing contest. Please be a bit more careful about how you convey a message.
