Separation of the LDS Church and
the Utah Constitution HA-25-3-10
By Anthony Joseph Sanders
Many
people find solace in religion. In the United States of America, a Christian
nation, largely populated by people fleeing religious persecution in the Old
World, there has been written a separation of church and state. The separation
of church and state both gives rise to allegations of immorality on the part of
the state and protects the populace from the abuse of power by religious
patriarchs. There is no religion so
close to state religion in all the Americas as the Church of Jesus Christ of
the Latter Day Saints, the LDS, in Utah. The Book of Mormon was written by
Joseph Smith who founded a religion around the myth that he transcribed the
book from golden tablets given to him by an angel and therein is a story of a
tribe of Judea that populated the Americas in biblical times. In 1990 73% of
the population in Utah was reported to be Mormon and in 2006, 55% attended
church weekly, the fifth most faithful in the nation.
Granted, the freedom of religion and to worship as one chooses is written into
the first section of the first article of the Utah Constitution and the
eleventh Article of Faith of the LDS Church. Denied to the
LDS however is the right to be respected as the entity comprising the majority
of people in the state of Utah. The LDS are the only entity even
slightly competitive with the 99% monopoly of all levels of government by the
Democratic and Republican (DR) parties, for the hearts and minds of the people.
In Utah, statistically civilized for a member of the contemporary Union, most
of the success of keeping the people in line can be attributed to the moral
principles espoused by the LDS that enables the people to ignore the carrots
and sticks of the tyrannical political majority.
No good deed however goes unpunished. Joseph Smith was martyred in a jail in
1844 while running for President of the United States, the grandiose method of
begging one's pardon. Brigham Young, who led the Mormons to Utah, famously
said, "people are healthier and live longer in
communities without doctors". But the Democratic and Republican (DR)
parties inexorably moved in to tax the success of the Mormons. After being
rebuffed entry to the Union by Congress, on seven occasions, beginning in 1849,
Utah, or Deseret, as the territory originally wanted to be called, until the
Mormons settlers renounced polygamy Utah was not allowed to enter the Union
until after the 66 day Constitutional Convention of 1895 was ratified by the
public in 1896.
The creation myth underlying the Utah Constitution is that the Democratic and
Republican (DR) parties created Utah in 66 days. Having abolished polygamy the
nation was forced to concede the Mormons half a free will and the Probate Court
was abolished, only to have probate causes transferred to the District Court,
short of the slavery free justice of the peace, or modern day social worker,
needed for a genuinely free will. Being quite jeoulous
of God the Democratic and Republican (DR) parties ensured there would be one
national guardsman for every state prisoner. True to the conflicts of interests
of their founders the State of Utah is a monster that cannot be begrudged for
driving the people to the relative safety of the LDS.
Haitian Voodou is similar to the LDS. Both are similar
to Catholicism because of their belief in los, or saints, who have real life
manifestations, while the supreme God, or bondye, has no direct connection with the real world. Both are
American religions adapted from Old World religions. Both eschew health to
venerate their ancestors. The Haitian Revolution of 1791 is attributed to have
begun as the result of a voodou ritual. After 23
attempts the Haitian Consitution did not, as reported
in the press, recognize Haitian voodou in 1987.
Haitian voodou is however not a Christian religion,
more an animist belief of African heritage, nor does Haitian voodou have any organized leadership. The LDS need not envy
Haitian voodou, but instead join together in the
common goal of being legally recognized American religions.
The recent Act of God in Haiti, that took the lives of 212,000 served to unite
similarly populous Utah and Haiti, both in the form of innocent LDS mission,
Haitian immigrant fundraisers and as a cloud of suspicion that the Utah state
prison may have been mined by the National Guard. The prisoner in question that
day appears to have been falsely arrested for reporting the abuse of a national
guardsman and remains incommunicado although reportedly free. And so the State
of Utah wore out their welcome and Hospitals and Asylums left. No religion
enjoys the recognition of the laws in America, whose religious persecution is
thus driven to such depravity in the Middle East and Central Asia (MECA),
without any practical experience in state religion, as so many Mormons, perhaps
naively, profess interest in.
The DEA theology that swept the nation in the 1970s is the primary example of
violent religious persecution. Fascinated by the connection between LDS and
LSD, pontificated on by the Native American Church, the DEA weighed in
particularly hard on the LDS and stole from the LDS their ability to govern
several hospitals, the material manifestation of the moral authority of
religion over bioterrorist health theology. So useful to righteously bring bad
medical b(k)ills to the state treasurer for
termination in avoidance of the ignomy and danger of
bankruptcy court, or worse paying for quack. A decade after laying down their
healing hand, the Church mandated the one true genocide of geneology
upon all their parishioners, much to the consternation of strangers meeting
unethical Mormons with geneological research
privileges, of particular danger to foreign families. These philosophical
adaptations were needed to defend the Church Presidents against a rash of
untimely natural deaths since the religious persecution of DEA theology first
antagonized OPEC and duped the masses in the 1970s.
The DEA is particularly virulent in Utah where the drug cops, probate death
cult and mental illness adjudicators all congregate at the District Court. The
legislature, pumped up on religious dogma justifiying
expulsion from the inner sanctum of the LDS temple for drug abuse, passes
particularly severe drug laws that must downgraded in every case from first
degree felonies, all the while being assaulted by mind altering and deadly
tortures, to grant Utahans accused of hard drug possession equal privileges and
immunities with the still repressive laws of other states. DEA drugs are
unethically prescribed for the common back quack, and there is an unusually
high risk of being murdered by a drug cop at every pharmaceutical filling of a
DEA prescription.
To keep the religious role in government de minimus,
reference to the LDS shall be limited to their very humorous interpretation of
the one legitimate religious institution - marriage. It is important to check
the abuse of power that occurs when the State infringes upon the family privacy
of religious matters such as drug abuse, toxic substance abuse, health, sexual
orientation or religious doctrine that is intended primarily to legitimize the
institution of marriage and strengthen the family. Free religions, whose flocks
are free to come and go, must not forcibly impose their way of life and moral
covenants upon others, as useful as these dicates may
be to sustain happy families and people. On the other hand religions have a
responsibility to defend themselves and the public against immorality and
religious persecution that is violent.
Thus, in farewell to the territorial boundaries of the State of Utah, far too
homicidal to be granted any ICANN privileges, having been sentenced by the U.S.
Supreme Court to perform their first human sacrifice in ten years, in lieu of
punishment for an even larger one day mass murder than either Hiroshima or Nagasaki,
license to rewrite the Utah Constitution is hereby granted to the LDS. Having
censured all reference to the LDS the Utah Constitution falsely represents the
majority of people in the State and as the Democratic and Republican (DR)
parties obviously cannot govern themselves the Constitution must be rewritten.
Taking into consideration the impoverished coffers of the State Treasury the
LDS are asked to pay the reasonable cost of a Second Constitutional Convention
so grand that its eleven days would be remembered for neutralizing the curse of
the 66 day original convention in all official and unofficial introductions to
the Utah Constitution.
Thus, to avoid the moral necessity of annulling Utah's membership in the Union,
if it pleases the LDS, and makes the gay people of Utah happy, to outlaw
polygamy, infidelity and veneral disease, Article 1
Section 29 Marriage that currently reads,
(1) Marriage consists only of the legal union between man and woman.
(2) No other domestic union, however denominated, may be recognized as marriage
or given the same substantially equivalent legal effect.
Would be amended to respect the sanctity of marriage as a religious
institution, whereby,
In order to gain entry into the Union, the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter
Day Saints, the religious majority in the state, agreed that marriage consists
only of the legal union between a man and a woman, and that polygamy was not
allowed.
To secure for Utah the blessing of a free will their founders had dignified in
the XXIV Amendment Section 9 Transfer of probate causes to District, before
their moral advantage was compromised by the DEA, would be amended so it reads,
Section 9 Transfer of probate causes to social workers
When the State was admitted into the Union, and the District Courts in the
respective districts were organized, the books, records, papers and proceedings
of the probate court in each county, and all causes and matters of
administration pending therein, upon the expiration of the term of office of
the Probate Judge, on the second Monday in January, 1896, passed into the
jurisdiction and possession of the District Court, which processed to final
judgment or decree, order or other determination in the several matters and
causes, as the Territorial Probate Court might have done, if the Constitution
of 1895 had not been adopted. And until the expiration of the term of office of
the Probate Judges, such Probate Judges performed the duties imposed upon them
by the laws of the Territory.
When this amended Constitution goes into effect all probate causes shall be
transferred from the District Court to a staff of licensed social workers
employed by the State Treasury, who shall adjudicate wills, trusts, estates and
survivor benefits, free of judicial restraint. The District Courts shall have
criminal, appellate and revisory jurisdiction over
the decisions referred by the social workers as provided by law.
To spare the cigarette smokers cast out from the inner sanctum of the LDS
temple, the wrath of sensitive nosed Governor Gary Herbert, no relation to
President Herbert Hoover Prohibitionist Snoot-Hawley Tariff Act signer of Hooverville fame, nonetheless duly sentenced to be the
first killer in a decade, a Section 9 should be added to Article 13 pertaining
to Revenue and Taxation, to justify increased taxation of the extremely
wealthy, that reads,
Section 9 Poor exempt from income tax
(1) People living under the national poverty line shall be exempt from any form
of income taxation by the State.
(2) People under 150% of the poverty line shall be returned any income tax
contributions they may have made on sliding scale.
(3) Taking into the consideration the relatively equal cost of living, people
with higher incomes shall be taxed at higher rates than people in lower tax
brackets.
As for the religious liberty in Article 1 Section 4, I give it to you,
The rights of conscience shall never be infringed. The State shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof; no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office
of public trust or for any vote at any election; nor shall any person be
incompetent as a witness or juror on account of religious belief or the absence
thereof. There shall be no union of Church and State, nor shall any church
dominate the State or interfere with its functions. No public money or property
shall be appropriated for or applied to any religious worship, exercise or
instruction, or for the support of any ecclesiastical establishment.
