Salt Lake City's Mormon Church should stay out of California's Constitution!

I support this man's stand! He is brave and courageous.

Interesting Article, I thought the Mormons claim they aren't a cult, they're just a church right? Then how/why would they throw out a 20 year long member just b/c he holds 1 political belief that isn't in alignment with them? It seems rather kooky and mind controlish of them to kick him out over this. It isn't as if the guy did anything bad, but apparently mormons aren't allowed to have a mind and thoughts of their own? Is this something the mormon church often does to it's members?

"The church does not have anything against gays and lesbians. We are a church that loves all people just like Jesus Christ loves all people. We believe that a family is between a man and a woman and is ordained by god. Anything contrary to that is sin," Woodbury said. So basically, "We love you, but you are a sinner and are going to hell if you don't repent." The church would never say that, but that is the subtext.

Do you really think they're going to change their policies? If you don't agree with the church, why don't you just resign? You may consider yourself mormon, but if you're that outspoken about the mormon church it's only a matter of time before you get out. You'll be much happier out of the church anyway.

This man is essentially saying "God and his Church have no right to teach me how to live". This is utter nonsense. Ever heard of the 10 commandments? God gives commandments. That's what he does. It is our choice whether we want to listen or not. But to yell back at God or his church that he doesn't have the right to give him commandments is moronic.

If you think that there are things that God, the creator of the universe, should stay out of, you are a moron. Everything is God's business; politics included.
If this man thinks he can change the Lord's or his churches stance on homosexuality by getting signatures, he is a moron. God is not a democracy.
If he disagrees with the churches teachings, he should leave the church.
And as for him not feeling it right for God and his church to tell him he should not vote for prop 8, I believe freedom of speech extends to God and his church.
Asking members of the church to vote in accordance with the commandments of God is no different than asking you to obey the commandments of God. Or should the church not tell you to obey the commandments either?

I find the comments from the church that we beleive marriage is between one man and one woman very strange. That is not true! If a man marries woman for time and all eternity(as we believe) and if she passes away, he can marry another woman and also be married to her for time and all eternity. Yes plural marriage has been suspended from a civil standpoint but it is still our doctrine and a few of our General Authorities are married to more than one women for time and all eternity. The churches involvement in prop 8 has placed a wedge between many families and this is ironic as families are so important in our faith. Many of us are shocked to see what is happening. Plus if one follows our doctrine we as a church are not to follow blindly and not to support laws that discriminate.How soon we forget what happened to us in Missouri and the "extermination order" that was issued against us. Let alone what happened to us in Utah. Laws of course, can be a good thing but can also discriminate and hurt a minority population especially when hiddng behind the face of the Savior

After reading this man's website, it is clear that he is completely outspoken against the church. He's playing the media for his own purpose.

Belive me this guy is a liar bishops never ask anyone to reisgn there membership. He is obviouly bitter about something I doubt he will even be excomunticated. You are just seeing the tip of the ice berg with this guy

Mormon or not, this dude looks like he's from a trailer park... I mean seriously. All the mormons I know, which are a lot, are all at least somewhat clean shaven. Doesn't this seem a little odd to anyone else?
