You might think so, but Mormon's actually have very high moral standards and they would never consider such a thing. They wouldn't be willing to make such a trade-off. If you were to suggest that as a solution, I am sure they would be terribly horror-struck.

Fat chance of that happening, and even if it did, what are the chances of them listening to me?

I guess that would mean Mormons don't believe that the multiple wives of a man would be allowed to be lesbians. Now that would be redefining marriage - everybody married to each other within the group.

Not sure but if you meet some nice Mormons they might be willing to talk to you about it.

I've been in a close friendship with a Mormon man by way of email now for over a year. He knows I'm not Mormon but he knows I've studied his religion and we have some good exchanges. I basically just ask him questions about his beliefs and way of understanding things. We exchange a lot of messages, though, about many other things not related to religion.

I'm going to ask him about Prop. 8 and find out how he believes it's affected the Mormon church.

I'm a member of one of the Mormon Forums but I seldom visit. I'm just there to make friends and ask questions. I would never disrespect them or say bad, negative things about their religion. I ask questions that I hope will help them think about new ways of viewing things.

The two main things that we have in common are an interest in health and the belief in modern prophets. But beyond that, we have much to disagree about. They have some weird beliefs that even most Mormons don't know about.

I dunno. But while I am not a Morman ... I have been willing to listen to you a time or two.

Yeah, yeah, you listen to me....but do you take my advice? That is the question. Wait...I am not sure I have given you any advice. But I think my point is...that you wouldn't take my advice should I give you any....you being much older and wiser than I.... sorry, I couldn't say that with a straight face.

Listening is fine. But doing .... is going a little too far .

Yeah, I couldn't say that with a straight face either......Wait a minute, Liz.....you shouldn't be sayin' that at all....You need to "respect your elders" and all that...

You are perfectly out of your mind right Neil, I shall try and not strangle respect you and Redwood from now on....ya'll being so much older than dirt and wiser yeah right . I promise with my fingers crossed to be good good being the new bad from now on.
