The fact remains that the sexually perverted founder of the Morman church,one Joseph Smith,did practice polygamy along with other sins. It is his legacy,and without that there would be no discussion on the matter. Nor would there be cases like that of Elizabeth Smart.Her dilemma,and others like it can all be directly traced back to the perversions of “the prophet”.
You do realize that polygamy is all throughout the Bible.
Furthermore, in the OT the men slept with their wives, their servants, and women captured at war, and even prostitutes.
To say that JS is a pervert is like saying that all the patriarches were perverts.
I’ll never forget Elizabeth Smarts’ dad going in front of the cameras to say that they guy who they thought took her was an evangelical preacher and that is what he was preaching when he picked him up and let him work on his house.
He just plain lied. He knew damn well that the crazy was thinking he was a prophet.
