Rant on Prop 8, the church and who I am.

I've heard a few people saw things to the effect of "It's about time you realized how bad the LDS church is." Okay - there is nothing to realize. I've always known exactly where the church stands on what in everything and still supported them cause there where things I believed in. And there are still things I believe in. I did not do the "right" or "Wrong" thing when I sent in my letter of resignation, it was just what I did. I felt the church did many things it said they would never do, and went about it as sneaky as they could. As long as I have been a member of the church, when it came to voting they said do your homework, do research get a good ideas of all parties involved, and make sure you have your facts, after that pray about it and the Lord will guide you.

Doctrine and Covenants 134:9

All of a sudden, a new prophet is running the church and there reversing there word. Gorden B Hinkley would never of done this. The fact that the church did things like have each ward in Utah donate $2,000 to make the money add up so they could get there tax exempt status makes me sick. The church is doing exactly the things they said they would never do and I feel this is yet another dark spot on the church history books. Yes, for a very long time I've been a bisexual and a member of the church. Guess what? I was LDS before I figured out I liked girls and was active in the church when I knew it was lingering there. Being a bisexual is a big part of me and my life, I have been this way for a long time but I have been LDS longer. I may have left the church, but I still support some of there ideals.

Let me get this straght I do not believe in organized religion. I think its crap, and I think every organized religion is out for them selfs in the end and they always will be. I've seen people of every religion act high and mighty, I see it everyday. The Mormons are just one of them. Call them what you want, I know your religion has a million flaws too, weather you think so or not, at lest I acknowledge mine.
