Twilight and mormon church ?

This just occurred to you now?

---

This is why the Mormons are totally cool with Vampires and werewolves. If J.K. Rowling gave a portion of her earnings to the Catholic church the Pope would be praising the bravery of Harry Potter.

Stephanie Myers supports hate.

I agree with zoraksferal. Now, I am not saying that banning same sex marriage is a good thing or anything like that. However, I can't tell you the number of times that I have seen a priest on TV talking about how the hardcore Christians are wrong for thinking that homosexuality is an abomination etc only to have someone debating the other side till they are blue in the face.

While I am an atheist, I do believe that someone can be part of a religion without believing in all of what it has to say. So, I think that it is jumping the gun a bit much to say that because Mayer is a Mormon she is a homophobe.

---

Umm... sexy, yet non threatening vampires, and an unnecessary love triangle with a sexy, yet equally unthreatening werewolf?

---

Yeah, I don't see where you are going with the "Do you even know what the books are about?" thing. Nothing in it is homophobic or heterophobic.

---

How could someone who writes such blatantly gay vampires be a homophobe?

---

Bottom line is, if she gives portions of her proceeds to her religion which supports banning gays from marrying, it IS A PROBLEM! Anyone who can not see that is just dumb.

"So what if she gives money to the church of the faith she supports... that does not mean she supports every belief they have"

Um, then why give money to a group you disagree with? Are you serious? If she says she is not homophobic than why is she giving her money to the Mormons who have made it clear they hate gay people? People give money to Democrats and Republicans because they agree with a political ideology. SO, I am left to assume Stephanie Myer MUST not be cool with gay people.I mean, what else can I believe? It's like saying I gave money to Bush,McCain,and Reagan but don't you dare call me a Republican! Actions speak louder than words and her donations to this hate group, er I mean the Mormons speaks volumes as far as I am concerned.

The Catholic church thinks it's okay to be gay as long as you aren't having any kind of sex. Anne Rice found God again and donates HUGE portions of her income to the church yet her work was some of the most homoerotic mainstream fiction out there. Now she only writes about the life of Christ. She is also a big supporter of gay rights, particularly marriage equality.

I don't know anything about Stephanie Meyer beyond the fact that she writes ridiculous books that are way too easy to read. She may be a huge homophobe. I haven't a clue. I am just saying that people DO donate huge sums of money to churches with whom they may not agree on everything. The bible says one should tithe 10% of your income back to the church. She's Mormon. Should she donate to the Unitarian church?

---

This is excellent news b/c I so needed another reason to hate Twilight.

---

I won't give her a single penny and any time I hear someone say "I want to read Twilight" I suggest they go pick up the House of Night series by PC & Kristin Cast. Better written and you money isn't going to end up in the hands of the Mormon church.

---

Doesn't Anne Rice have a gay son? If she donates money to her church,that's fine. I'm not saying all churches are anti gay. Maybe her church supports homosexuality? In my opinion, I think Gene Robinson is more of a Christian than that Pope the Catholics have.So, it really depends on the church. The Mormons and the Catholics are two anti gay organizations that happen to be religions.They really are not that different than Westboro Baptist Church. Only difference is they are a tad more settle.

So by this logic people shouldn't hire Mormon's because some of the money they pay them will go to the Mormon church? I see what the original poster is saying, but I think when you look at the bigger picture it makes them look like a ridiculous bigot.
Face it some of your money might eventually end up going to the Mormon church, or any other church, or any other organization. I'm sure if the Mormon church came out and said that Mormon's shouldn't patronize any business that is owned by or has hired a homosexual because some fraction of a fraction of the money might go and support the next gay marriage fight, then you would be in and uproar burning them in effigy. Even though they are just following the logic presented here.
