If you follow the link that he posted on my previous post, Anti-Prop 8=Anti-Mormon, it's really not so much in opposition to Proposition 8 as it is advocating being anti-Mormon. Thanks, Reuven for proving my point exactly. Here's the link, and here's what you'll find:
DEAR CHRISTIANS:
VOTE NO ON CALFORNIA PROPOSITION 8
Be very careful about voting on CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 8. We can win a battle and lose the war.
The "yes on 8" movement is being funded almost entirely by the Mormon Church. Money is coming from outside California by the millions.
This is an attempt by the Mormons to win over evangelicals and other Christians. We may feel we have common ground on this issue.
But at what cost?
You wouldn't advise your children to take candy from a stranger.
Don't accept help from a group with a hidden agenda: To legitimize beliefs that we believe are outside of Christianity.
Please don't take this as an attack on individual Mormons, or their rights to hold Mormon beliefs, but on the Church's actions.
REJECT assistance from the LDS Mormon Church on matters of religious law and interpretation. It's OK to work with another religion to feed and clothe the hungry. It's not OK to accept religious law--even if you may agree with it--from a religion that proselytizes ideas that are outside of our Holy Scriptures.
VOTE NO ON 8. MAKE THEIR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS GO TO WASTE. Discourage them from performing deceptive outreach programs in the future.
Jesus' primary message, that he repeats over and over, is to uplift the weak, feed the hungry, clothe the needy. Most of their money should be going, as ours does, to feed and clothe the needy.
We can address same sex marriage later, on our own terms. The future of Christianity in the United States is more important.
Please vote NO on CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 8. DON'T ACCEPT "CANDY" FROM "STRANGERS"
When they come for YOU, who will be left to speak out?
Yours in Christ,
REVEREND Joe BaytzimChurch of Eliyahu Ha-Navi, Orange, California And for slanderers [sectarians] let there be no hope, and may all the evil in an instant be destroyed and all Thy enemies be cut down swiftly; and the evil ones uproot and break and destroy and humble soon in out days. Blessed art You, LORD, who breaks down ememies and humbles sinners.

oh post the 'blog post' from the end of the link - it is teh best! so ridiculous....
INTERESTING angle 'reverend'- if that's what he really is. Using the mormon hate to get Christians to vote against their beliefs.
If this 'reverend' truely was who he says he is, he'd know the entire prop 8 campaign is being run by anti-mormons and the legal counsel they use won't hire mormons or jews. (That comes from just one source so it may not be entirely true- but I've read enough articles to see that those running Prop 8 aren't exactly fans of the LDS church)
The mainstream Christian movement may not like Mormons...but they will take their money.
Funny, since when has the LDS church ever try to buy acceptance by the mainstream Christian culture- much less, why would they want to?
I could go on and on....
Hey folks, we were also hit by Reuven's anti-mormon comment.
We've also done some research behind that link that you might be interested in.
