Zeke: "Oh my, the hypocrisy of a Church that supported polygamy arguing that same-sex marriage violates traditional definitions of marriage…"
Peterson
It's not hypocritical at all.
The Church has always consistently taught that marriage is a special relationship joining a man and a woman.
It taught that during the nineteenth century. It continues to teach that in the twenty-first century. And it was never about "tradition."
Framing the topic disingenuously enables disingenuous criticism, it's true, but disingenuous criticism simply looks disingenuous.
Good Lord what a blatant disregard for actual LDS history. This is worse than "Disingenuous criticism" this is LYING for the Church of today. He threw the CELESTIAL LAW OF MARRIAGE under the bus. It was taught, practiced, lived, and yes he says the church has always said marriage between a man and A WOMAN? Pure unadulterated BS and Dan knows this. Gawd damn man..... and I don't hate Dan Peterson, I hate his lying for a lying church so deliberately. His argument is pure BS, and has no justifiable evidence that the church has been consistent. It simply has not been in any manner.
