This state is so ignorant, illogical, and blinded by religion, I don’t know how we ever expect to have equality here.
A prime example from today’s (LDS Church-owned) Deseret Morning News:
No Adam, Steve in Eden
If there is nothing wrong with being “gay,” then why did God create one man and one woman in the Garden of Eden? Why did he not just create two men and two women and put them into separate sections of the world to begin with?But then there are those people who claim mankind evolved from a single cell, and not by a creator. If so, then why is it that even the early depictions of mankind in drawings and such always show people very much as they look today?
Another question is this: Where would you be if there is nothing wrong with being a homosexual or lesbian?

Given the D-news’ typical reader demographic, I suspect Iola was a resident of the original Garden herself, but still…

Her name is Robert Paulson, no wait…it is Iola. What can one expect from a person named Iola? the problem is mass education, you should never give low class people literacy, or they simply pollute the consensual mind–better they dust the mantle and die forgotten.

I take it Chaneekwa’s comment harks to Plato’s Republic and structuring education based upon a person’s class. Goverment would decide who and what was taught. Though not entirely without merit, it’s the lack of diverse knowledge that creates the ignorant religion-suckling cretins she is talking about. But, that’s just my humble opinion.
