read my post again. Why attack a peaceful religion that you disagree with. At least they are not killing their own children for being disrespectful. Happy Easter to you and your family.

Umm.... At least we hope not...

Yes, I know the FLDS are no longer part of the LDS officially. But I find it interesting that the State of Utah, which is 60 percent Mormon and controlled at all levels by the GOP, more or less turned a blind eye to them at the expense of the “sweetness” of numerous children... er... “celestial brides”.

I find it interesting that the State of Utah was unable to prosecute or convict this guy: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2022139/Warren-Jeffs-trial-Heavy-breathing-sex-tape-3-wives-including-bride-12.html

While Texas (another heavy GOP state) put him away for life (plus 20 years) relatively quickly. To me, the blind eye turned to Warren Jeffs by Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff (R) is proof that the Utah GOP don’t share my values as a conservative Christian. Like Texas, I value the innocence and protection of children.

Being honest about a religion that passes itself off, dishonestly, as Christian is not "attacking" that religion.

In fact, we as Christians are commanded to "try the spirits" and to rebuke sin where it is found.

An organization that professes itself to be the one and only True Christian Religion that is in fact a sect must be called out if for no other reason than to protect those who might be misled.
