****Agreed. While Mormonism is hardly my cup of tea, I would defend their right to practice their faith as they see fit as long as they do not violate any laws in the process. The vast majority of Mormons do not subscribe to the polygamist model that is in question here. Even having said that. If a man wants to shack up with three or four adult women in a consensual relationship and call no more than one of them his legal spouse, that’s their business. As long as they don’t want to teach my kids in school that it’s just one more acceptable “lifestyle choice”. When your talking about girls under the age of seventeen, then the law comes into play and should be vigorously enforced. ****
What about the offspring of such a union as you describe? Is that a ‘healthy’ home environment in which to raise children? Or are you not brainwashing them from birth to practice a sick and perverted way of life that naturally progresses towards male domination and child rape? Seems to me once you give males unfettered power such as polygamy fosters ... you soon get the structure seen within FLDS. Get rid of the boys and trade the girls amongst yourselves like cattle. Within three generations or so (not long the way these sexaholics breed) any decent morally uncrippled males are outathere and all’s thats left are the pedophiles.
Just an aside: Very happy to see the vast majority of these threads dominated by sane individuals who can recognize a child raping cult is not a legitimate societal group deserving cultural acceptance or even tolerance. The nutbag-anti-gubmint-single-issue types ready to give us anarchy in the name of their paranoia are handily being put down.

Just because we are willing to stand up for the rights of children doesnt have to go in the same sentence with believing Government is good. My distain for the Government does not make me a nutbag. You are attempting to mix separate issues. And recognizing that America is going down the tubes because of the ilk of Government does not make for paranoia. DNA test the compound, and urine test the Government. They are all questionable.
I don't like it but that alone would not be cause to remove children from their natural birth mothers. If you take out the under age sex component from this equation, the children seem to be better off than most children borne out of wedlock in any American inner city. That does not mean that I approve of it or think that it's a good idea.

So true! Well put, G2.
