I was reading this article and I asked my mom what our church thought about it and she said that our church is against promoting condoms to stop AIDS too. She said our church doesn't believe if a kid has AIDS it's their fault or anything, but she said our church "has absolute standards."
I said, "How can it ever be okay to just let people die when you could do something about it?" and she said, "Becuase sinners have to suffer the natural consequences."
"What if someone gets it through intravenous drugs and then stops using drugs but has AIDS or HIV and wants to get married? Is it okay then?"
"No," my mom said, "the bible says it's better that one sinner die than to compromise absolute standards."

WTF???!!!!!!!!! I can't agree with that. I CAN NOT! People that are gay, even if I grant my church's view that it's wrong, and don't realize it's a sin (although I don't believe it is) do NOT deserve to die! If there is any way we can prevent the deaths of (what I believe are) innocent people, then we should. How can promoting life EVER be a bad thing?

I'm really pissed off at the moment. Even if I believe everything else about my religion, I can NEVER believe that. EVER.

How can anybody believe that?

So we just had this conversation, and I said I could not believe that, and my mom said, "Well then you choose to not be LDS!"

Mormanism is supposed to be perfect in every aspect. I believe 99% of it. How can I ever believe those things though, that gay people are evil, that they should face the consequences of their sins and die? That we shouldn't try to stop AIDS with condoms because it's promoting permiscuity?

It's the first time in my life that I have ever told my parents I don't agree with our religion. I feel really weird.
