Kindly point out how this site hides behind “tolerance”.

Here at Box Turtle Bulletin we don’t believe that all opinions are equal or that every “belief” should be “tolerated” – whatever that means. As I’ve said before, we need not tolerate intolerance.

“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.”
–Daniel Patrick Moynihan, sociologist and politician

For Christians, silencing the lies at least means do not bear false witness, which is a specific commandment. The overdue realization for Christians as they participate in the political system is that “belief” is not the same as fact, and rarely is belief an acceptable substitute for “truth” when battling in the political arena, or bargaining in any other marketplace of ideas.

“If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”
–Harry Truman

Nobody is silencing the Mormons. In fact, they have made it clear that they will continue their hateful campaign against gay people.

What we aren’t going to do is give them a free pass. Their hate is under the microscope right now and is going to stay there. Nobody likes to be called on their lies and anti-gay campaigns. This negative publicity may actually discourage others from being drawn into the ambitious political web the LDS are trying to weave from Utah out through the rest of the country. Let freedom (and free speech) ring!!!

Yeah..trying to silence the LDS Church. Which has:

1) Tried (indirectly through its members) to silence the Straight-Gay Alliance Clubs in Utah schools. You’ll remember the fracas this caused some years ago.
2) Owns a part of every major media in strategic parts of the country (i.e.: Bonneville International. Just Google and see the breadth of coverage by the Mormon Church: (L.A., Chicago, Wash. D.C., Seattle, Phoenix, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and SLC)
3) Larry H. Miller (a Mormon) owns a long list of theaters and TV stations. (He was the one that censored Brokeback Mountain from being shown in his theaters.
4) The vast satellite network owned by the Mormon Church to broadcast to each and every Ward and Stake House in the WORLD; any church or broadcasting network would envy.

Let’s talk about who is silencing whom? And in my dictionary, the very actions of the LDS Church is highly anti-gay and with the actions of its members as examples, I would say the Mormons are very homophobic.

We will see how the LDS Church and its cache of lawyers work their propaganda organ in January to see just how non-homophobic they are when it comes to saying they are for civil rights for gays.

“This is much bigger than just a question of whether or not society should be more tolerant of the homosexual lifestyle. Over past years we have seen unrelenting pressure from advocates of that lifestyle to accept as normal what is not normal, and to characterize those who disagree as narrow-minded, bigoted and unreasonable. Such advocates are quick to demand freedom of speech and thought for themselves, but equally quick to criticize those with a different view and, if possible, to silence them by applying labels like ‘homophobic.’” (Dallin H. Oaks)
