Unfortunately, my wife is a Mormon and she's being 'ordered' to be a bigot:

At the conclusion of the current terms, I will be cancelling my support of all Mormon businesses - including Marriott, JetBlue, and In-n-Out - for at least 4 years.

I have a real problem with them passing their bigoted 'belief' system on to the next generation and I am fully obligated to protect my child from that.

Good to see you stand up for that for the sake of your children.

While I agree with your sentiment that the Mormons (like most religions) are idiots, the companies you mentioned are all large publicly-traded corporations.  This means most stockholders, as well as most employees are not Mormons and have nothing to do with the Mormons.  Whether a company was founded back in the day by someone who was a Mormon or not, once a company goes public, it's owned by everyone from banks to individual stock investors, to your Aunt Millie's 401k retirement account.

What is the Mormon Church's stance on polygamy?

As long as they don't take a stand against men in thongs, I don't see why anyone here should care....

In-N-Out?!?!?!

I just read the pdf.  What do you have against their belief that marriage should be between a man and woman? 

[MisterMagoo]

did everyone forget that the book of mormon explicitly describes black people as those punished by god? the religion was made by a white huckster in the mid-1800s, it's full of racism and bigotry.

That's what I was thinking. No way I'm giving that one up....

Why are you on so early? It's not midnight yet.

Mitt Romney is a mormon.  And he's gonna be the VP candidate for mccain.

[Sassyclassywoman]

It says that in the bible as well.  Blacks are supposedly the offspring of Noah's son, Ham.  He was turned into a black because he mocked Noah's nakedness.  It's all there in the great book.

I didn't forget that.

They can believe what ever they want.  And no one is asking them to perform same sex marriages.  But they're trying to prevent others who don't share their believes from marrying.

Just think if we had ballot propositions in 1948, when the California Supreme Court ruled that laws preventing whites from marrying non-whites were unconstitutional.   Most certainly the majority would have voted to overturn that.

All religions were made by hucksters, white or otherwise.  The only difference with Mormonism is it's more recent so it's easier to see the fraud.  If we were all living in the first century CE, we'd view Christianity in much the same way.   And 2000 years from now obvious cults like Mormonism and Scientology will probably be viewed as mainstream religions, once history has as much distance from the circumstances of their founding as it does today in the case or Christianity, Islam, and Judism.  (Unless, of course, our society grows up and recognizes religion for the primitive man-made superstition it is.  I wouldn't count on it, though.  )

2000 years from now, humans won't exist as we know them today, and be so incredibly intelligent compared to the flawed things we are today (due to the exponential growth of technology) that the "religion" as it is today = a thing of the past.

2000 years from now there's a better-than-even chance we won't even be here, having finally succeeded in wiping ourselves out one way or another.

Where?

the curse was placed on canaan, specifically. thus, the canaanites, which encompassed a chunk of africa (namely egypt) are the inheritors of said curse.

More likely: 99% of humanity will destroy itself or be destroyed, and a group of transhumans will survive and thrive, or humanity naturally evolves into something else that lives in 2000 years.
