I am a Texan and an American, I don't don't remember the first time that WE did anything like that, so WE can't repeat it.
America is not a breath away from repeating every evil that has ever been done by other nations, at other times, in world history.
I would imagine they aren’t so aggressive since it isn’t that big a deal compared to homosexual behavior and other deviants demanding special rights and protection of perverted behavior.
Phelps is scum, but can you point out the number of pregnant children among his followers? Specifically the ones under the age of 16. I just don't see that your comparison works.
I'm sure that there are those of Phelps' victims who have been hurt badly, and I would rejoice if he were stopped. However, don't compare that to the destruction of the lives of children.
How many Batists have you seen that defend "Fred"?
I cannot say that there never was a Baptist church that taught that, "God hates fags". I can't prove a negative but can you point me to a reference where a Baptist church taught that?
She may be that girl, holding a baby that looked at her “husband” who told her she was 18. She would be one of the first that I would rule out.
You know that all you are going to get from that is starting a discussion of why FLDS is very representative of Mormonism and the other sects of the Latter Day Saint movement.
Good point.
“The _________ church is NOT the true church.”
You are a braver man than I, Gunga Din.
I refuse to embrace that Tar Baby, lest I risk being thrown into the briar patch. In that undesirable habitat lurk undesirable featherless bipeds - Libroids, slobbering lawyers in frenzied search of the “Fee”, child advocacy droolers, Mormon newsies deep in denial, ad nauseam.
The instant issue boils down to whether the marriage was entered into willingly by both partners.
Throughout history, women old enough to have children sometimes sought out older men for a variety of reasons. In recent history, two of the towering intellects of humanism were Will & Arial Durant. Google her age at marriage, her mothers instructions to the Judge, etc.
And lest any of the denizens of the aforementioned Briar Patch slept through their history classes, one of the Queens of France ascended to the throne of France years before her 16 th birthday.
She was married a year before her coronation, as I remember. History has lots of females who did not need either Briar Patch denizens or legal “emancipated female” status to function on the field of battle, at court, holding court, etc.
Consent is the core issue. That, and competency.
At least Texas was spared having to wade through the pool of limitless cess of same sex marriages, inter-species ‘marriages’ (if animals have rights, marriage is one such right - sorry PETA), and all the other manifestations of what Sigmund Freud aptly described as the polymorphously perverse sexual proclivities of man.
One last thing, I am not Mormon. I am anti-hypocrite and anti-nanny state. The last tends to make me anti goober, as in gooberment agency drone.
I like your graphic ;)
HMM. How did that get thru spell check? :’)
I didn’t even notice it, until you brought it up.
Well...I figured I would bust myself instead of waiting around for someone else to do it.
“When they came for the child molesters, I said hooray, because I am against molesting children”
Does not compute to you? We don't care what their religion is. We don't think they should rape and impregnate children. And we also don't like them doing it on taxpayer money by placing these children with children on welfare.
