I was reading the Proclamation of the Family on Sunday. The paragraph that begins with "The Family is ordained of God. Marriage between a man and woman is essential to His eternal plan." Then I skipped down to where it states, "We warn," and half way through that paragraph it states, "Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets." Have we forgotten what happened to the Israelites in the Old Testament who did not listen to the warnings of the prophets? Have we also forgotten the destruction of those in the Book of Mormon who did not listen to their prophets? I fear our country has lost it's greatness. The destruction of the family is happening so, we too will soon be reaping the consequences of not listening to a prophet. We can't stay on the fence and pretend that Gay marriage is just about choice and people being treated fairly. Their agenda is about destroying the family. Don't get pulled into their rhetoric.
