        "When the church was founded in 1830"

        BZZT! Wrong answer!

        The Mormon Church excluded African Americans until 1978.

        Well, I guess they thought that the African Americans were the ones that tipped the vote. So which is it now? The Mormons or the African Americans? All I can say is the Carlifornians have spoken and the gay people just need to accept it.

            God is A Spirit and they that Worship His must worship in spirit and in truth.
            You are who God made you and you are not your own. God made man in the likeness of His image. Be not deceived God is not mocked whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap.
            If people really knew and understood God's word they would never thought about this unholy lifestyle (Gay) This is a spirit of lasiviousness a sinful act of disobedient. Please I pray thee seek Gods face from your heart and not your flesh. Being gay is a choice and not a right. This is Moralyy WRONG! But God Loves you and people of God do too!
