Stop The Sale Of Garments On eBay

Help a People Save What Is Sacred To Them!
How would you feel, if on a bright and beautiful Sunday morning, you drove past a church and saw a burning cross on its lawn? Or a KKK parade snaking its way through minority neighborhoods? Or maybe people flinging around Yamikas and wearing them and mocking the Jewish traditions in front of a mosque? Burning Bibles, perhaps? Urinating on pages of the Torah? No decent human being would want to bear witness to such things, and no one wants to be the victim of it. However, it happens, and many acts of religious persecution continue unchallenged as freedom of speech.
But when does Freedom of Speech, a right protected of us in the Constitution, go too far? When does the degradation of someones beliefs and all they hold most sacred become considered even mildly wrong? Due to the separation of church and state, that law once meant to protect us, there is no legal action anyone can take to protect themselves or others.
Consider the Mormon faith, the members of a church called The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They serve in our military, the police forces, are in the health profession, and in every other way are productive members of society who are known to encourage family values and peace for the world.
It is taken as something to be accepted that at every conference, a time when the entire Church unites through all known media forms to listen to their leaders remind them and teach them again, basic moral values, the importance of family, and service for our fellow man, that men and women congregate to shout insults, curse, damn all members to hell, use bullhorns to insult and ridicule every sacred principle they hold. Recently, some of these dissidents have gotten hold of items of the highest religious sacredness, a garment they wear to remind themselves of their covenants to their God and Heavenly Father. The members do not show off these garments, nor speak of them publicly, as they hold them to be sacred reminders, similar to the ancient Jews who wore their law on their foreheads, also as a reminder to themselves. Only active members of the LDS faith can receive these articles, after an interview their bishop for worthiness to enter the Temple and in making covenants with their God and Heavenly Father, similar to promising to obey the commandments upon baptism.
Now these garments have become a popular item to the persecutors of this Church, and are used to show off in the most ridiculing manner, openly blowing their noses into them, stomping on them, tearing them, and waving them about when the members congregate, their only purpose to insult and debase the faithful.
Now they are being sold openly on eBay. Now I urge anyone who knows how important it is to hold something sacred, even if you do not affiliate with the LDS Church, to take action and do as a people what the government cannot do. My cause is to petition eBay to halt the sale of these items held sacred by many. It is my fervent hope that eBay will realize that people selling things on eBay that are not for public sale and are of utmost religious importance, is the wrong place. EBay surely did not intend its innovative idea for public auction on the Internet to be used as a place to debase other people and religions. Is it really freedom of speech when something is acquired by deceit and flaunted for anyone to purchase?
We ask eBay to stop the sales of all LDS garments. We ask thier support in keeping eBay from becoming a battleground of hate and disrespect.
Please sign the petition, no matter what faith you hold! Please help us keep what is sacred to us, sacred, and not fodder for our persecutors!
