Something the LDS has in common with the Muzzies. But I bet no Muslim compound is ever going to be raided, although I’m sure this goes on at those places, too.

The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Horndogs.

Just to clarify, these people are not part of the modern LDS. They are a radical splinter group and a closely insulated cult lead by Warren Jeffs that believes that it’s God’s will to force 14 or 15 year old girls into incestuous “marriages” with their uncles or first cousins (or even worse).

They are no more akin to the modern LDS as the Westboro Baptist Church is akin to Baptists or other main stream or even conservative protestant denominations and churches.

The LDS disavowed the practice of polygamy many years ago and now forbids its practice among its members. I would also point out that even when they (the LDS) did practice polygamy, I don’t think that incest and child rape was ever part of their practices and beliefs. I would also point out that polygamy was practiced and condoned in the Old Testament – King David and King Solomon both had many wives and “concubines”.
