But, but, but, the MORMONS do this? That can’t be.

What’s funny is that Mormons repeatedly tell us that merely claiming to be Christian is the same as being Christian, but any polygamists claiming to be true Mormons must be ostracized because they aren’t true Mormons.

No, this is not The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This is a lunatic cult that is rife with insanity. The evidence is that I view being a father as my highest calling and allowing one or more of my sons to be tossed out of my home is absolutely beyond the lower limits of my moral standards and the moral standards of any decent Christian.

This is one of those wackjob offshoots out in rural Utah, not the Mormon church. These communities also have one of the highest percentages of people on welfare.

The FLDS is to the LDS church as the Westboro Baptist Church is to Baptists. In other words, they are nutcases who use a group name but disagree with many of the base beliefs of the group.

These aren’t “the” Mormons. They’re a rebel offshoot group. What are you, Baptist? Catholic? Methodist? This would be like condemning Methodists because an offshoot group with “Methodist” in their name practiced something abhorrent.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You are absolutely correct!

It can’t be, because the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ( commonly known as “Mormons”) abandoned polygamy more than 100 years ago. They will immediately excommunicate anyone engaging in polygamy and remove their names from the church rolls.

No the members of the Church of Latter Day Saints do not do this. This is done by offshoot cults such as the Fundemental Church of Latter Day Saints. These cults broke with LDS over polygamy and doctrines such as blood atonement. Please, please do not confuse them with LDS.
I say this as a non Mormon who disagrees with their theology.

And once again, no good deed by a Mormon (or in this case by Mormon legislators) goes unpunished. The near total lack of charity by some is very revealing.

It's the "fundamentalists" that exist in many religions that other people, who live in glass houses, make fun of.

Do you play with snakes?
