Not by coincidence, the Mormon president announced their god has a special cherry on the mormon sundae for any mormons who father and raise ten children to adult active mormonhood.

OK, Mormon bashers, there may be a lot of things to make fun of in Mormons or any religion but being married and having a family is not one of them.

Our whole society is based on families. Changing that to having villages raise children will not help society or children. The family is where it's at. I say more power to them and I hope it catches on. We all need to be raised in families.

I don't think the Mormons force anybody into anything. One of the most interesting thing I have seen about them is their belief in what they call “free agency”. Their term of “free agency” to them refers to their being able to choose good or bad but they also believe that their children need to be able to choose their lifestyle and their own relationships. They really believe live and let live.

The problem here is raising children to believe that a heaven filled with earthly and carnal pleasures is the ultimate goal of life and then telling them that the only way to achieve that goal is to get married and have ten children that will also be members of this members only club.

Apparently, you know nothing of mormonISM.

If you are saying you wont get into the celestial kingdom unless you do this or that is not forcing.

Well, that would be true if you discount shunning and/or gossip to destroy you and/or having the child's life style reflect on to the parents and how they are treated.

They really believe live and let live.

What are you smokin’?

Mormonism is ALL about control and compliance.

Let a mormon leave the hive and watch the scorn fall down hard on them.
