Your statements do not have linearity, which leads me to believe that your thoughts aren’t any better organized.

There is a difference between bigamy and marrying a 15 year old. Even outside the laws of Texas, I can’t think of a society that wouldn’t determine that there’s a difference between a 17 year old marrying a 15 year old and a 39 year old marrying a 15 year old.

Moreover, the flds knew the law in Texas. The indicted men and the women who have lost custody of their children, as well as those children, live in Texas.

Attempting to ignore facts and the local laws, or to live as though breaking those laws is without consequence, is not the mark of a logical mind. For these parents to repeatedly do so when there’s increased scrutiny and power on the part of the courts is more than plain dumb: it’s negligence, if not criminal.

Your problem is that you religious nut cases tend to read more into things than are actually written.

There is a difference between bigamy and marrying a 15 year old. Even outside the laws of Texas, I can’t think of a society that wouldn’t determine that there’s a difference between a 17 year old marrying a 15 year old and a 39 year old marrying a 15 year old.

I said that it was legal to marry a 15 year old girl. First you called me a liar by saying that bigamy was illegal, as if that disputed my statement. Now you are trying to say that there is a difference between a 17 and a 39 year old marrying a 15 year old girl. There is, but that is relevant how? Can I give you a clue? Think before you post.

Moreover, the flds knew the law in Texas. The indicted men and the women who have lost custody of their children, as well as those children, live in Texas.

Are you trying to imply that I thought this all took place in Kansas? Or that just maybe the FLDS knew that Texas allowed 15 year olds to marry. I am curious as to what point you are trying to make.

Attempting to ignore facts and the local laws, or to live as though breaking those laws is without consequence, is not the mark of a logical mind.

Are you trying to say that ignorance is criminal? LOL Maybe it should be. Some people are too stupid to live.

“Your statements do not have linearity,”

You noticed that too?

Changing tenses in mid stream.
Playing games with semantics.

I think, LeGrande, you are outsmarting yourself.

And the only one fooled, is you.
