Should We Be "Attacking" the Mormon Church?

I'm seeing the fearful comments from a few LGBT people about how we shouldn't be "attacking" the Mormon Church. They are raising an issue that we shouldn't try to get the Mormons' tax-exempt status revoked. By "attacking religion," they say, we are fulfilling exactly what the churches and ministries were told by their leaders before the election -- that they would lose their tax-exempt status if they allowed same-sex marriage to be established.

The fearful ones are even pointing out that some liberal and LGBT nonprofits have crossed over the nonprofit line to politick in the same way that the conservative churches did.

With all due respect to those who are concerned, whether we're "attacking religion" or not isn't the real issue. In fact, it isn't even a "gay issue."

Sure, why not.  Even among religions, which are all sort of strange, the core beliefs of the CJCLDS is really out there.  Had they confined that jibber jabber to their services, that's ok.  To get into the political process is a form of war. 

And for Christ's sake, pull their tax free status.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

Most people that claim they talk to God get Zyprexa or Haldol or maybe both.  In Utah they get a mansion and leadership of the Mormon Church!  >:-)
