UNBELIEVABLE
I am always irritated when reading the COMMENTS of articles posted on KSL.com (a local news network here in Utah). Of course since Prop 8 passed there are going to be all sorts of ridiculous things going on to fight it. This lady is one of them. If you go to the actual story and read the comments (I wouldn't recommend it) you would see over 400 comments of people who have no idea what they are talking about. KSL is a HUGE target. It's a news team that reports from Salt Lake City. They are associated with Bonneville International {correct me if I'm wrong} which is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. (Also, a huge target) especially in this Prop 8 campaigning. Some people make a career out of sitting at their computers trying to outrage people by saying the dumbest things that they know will be sensitive topics. They know that a lot of people reading KSL.com are members of the LDS church and will be angry by reading their mean comments. I mean, I knew things like this would result from the passing of Prop 8 in California. Several of the donations were coming from MEMBERS of the church. It's not like President Monson just sat down and wrote a big fat check to "Yes on 8" {once again...as I understand it}. I am just preparing myself for a lot of negative repercussions. Bring on the crazies.
I'm just sick of watching people BASH the church to death when there were MANY other organizations, including churches and religions donating time & money for the exact same cause. I guess this just shows that we truly are in the "latter-days" because it's only going to get worse from here. And as if we don't get enough flack:
The Church has been singled out in election coverage, including on CNN. And the day before the election, Jon Stewart on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" took this shot. He said, "Did you know their church had to found its own state because America refused to tolerate the way that Mormons got married? That's how America got stuck with Utah." -ksl.com

Unfortunately the help Heaven’s going to HAVE to send to get some attention isn’t going to be pretty.
Did you hear about the anti-Mormon commercials being aired in CA? I haven't watched them yet because it will just tick me off. I hear they were pretty nasty. Anyway, it makes me so mad (and it makes we want to cry) that people take such mean jabs at our church and the humble men that lead it. It drives me nuts that these people who are against prop 8 say that there shouldn't be any "hate", and yet they have no problem slamming our church because we believe marriage is between a man and a woman. But, I know that our leaders were led when they made that decision to support these propositions, and I know it will all work out in the end. Maybe that end won't be until the second coming, and like the comment above said, it isn't going to be pretty. However, there are great things to look forward to after the second coming! I keep finding hope in that.
P.S. I'm glad to know that all of this is bothering you too. It's driving me nuts, and Travis is so sick of hearing me talk about it!
That was a long comment...sorry!
