And since the bible is so important to you, why do you obsess over the issue of homosexuality? Why aren't you picketing at oyster farms or barring lobster fishermen in Nova Scotia (Leviticus 11:12)? Or why arn't you in Ottawa trying to overthrow female politicians (Timothy 2:12)? Perhaps you might consider condoning slavery (Peter 2:18)? Have you checked your clothing tags lately (Leviticus 19:19)?
But hey, so much for Luke 6:37 right?
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."
Don't you just love cherry picking? So as I was was previously asking; what's the deal with the chip on your shoulder towards gay people anyway?
The "mainstream" Mormon church has only publicly changed its tune when it comes to polygamy, but the latter issue is not the most concerning about Mormons. Even if they all genuinely renounced and ceased practicing polygamy, the "church" would still be a cult founded on the teachings of a false prophet.

Charges have been laid against the so-called Christian religious leaders of multiple marriages, cross border child trafficking of little girls for the purpose of marriage to old men, multiple child marriages, sexual abuse and their women and girls being isolated and brain-washed all in the name of religious freedom. Even other ethical Christian churches across Canada as well as the Mormon church in USA have spoken out against the problems in Bountiful and the Mormon Church is suing the religious leaders of Bountiful.

ALL religions are cults. Even Christianity and all 43,000 denominations of Christianity are all cults, so it's six of one and half a dozen of the other of what might be considered founded on the teachings of a false prophet with any one of those denominations. Mormonism and all other Christian denominations have Jesus their "Christ" as their foundation stone so Mormonism is just as much a Christian denomination and a cult as all the other thousands of Christian denominations are.

Well, not to be rude, but his posts are more logical than yours. Your whole point seems to be that since YOUR beliefs are not made into law, or that anyone that doesn't believe what you believe, is worshiping false prophets,This somehow adds up to mean that YOU and christians are being discriminated against.
A totally false argument.
P.S. You do know the bible stories were written down a couple of hundred years after Jesus apparently walked the earth.
That there are two creation stories in the Bible?
That bit and pieces have been manipulated about over the years in different editions.
That the very first Christians held ritual orgies?
I'll take a different approach to the subject, if I may. Chevy already covered the part about everyone having the right to representation under the law, and I will take the theological position that the disciple is not above his master and that Christians are told (in the bible) to expect and even rejoice in persecution for their faith.
However, I take exception to your choice of the word 'persecution' wrt this issue. Perhaps you have not heard of or known Christians who are genuinely persecuted. To compare the denial of accreditation to a law school with persecution boggles my mind.
Sad and pathetic. I'm a Christian, not an ancient Israelite.

According to Deuteronomy all worshipers of other religions need to be stoned to death. Not the Colorado stoned either.
