The Book:
GOD'S BROTHEL
If someone wrote a book about 18 victims of monogamous wife-beaters, would that then "prove" that all monogamous marriage should be banned?

The new book, "God's Brothel," uses 18 anecdotal bad examples, while ignoring the reality of all the good normal polygamous families, to hysterically suggest that "all" polygamy is represented by those bad examples.

If someone wrote a book about a cruel man who claimed to be a "Christian," even though true Christians stand against his ungodly behavior and even say that he is not a Christian at all, would that then "prove" that that man's claim supposedly defines the meaning of being Christian?
"God's Brothel" falsely purports to identify "Christian Polygamy" among its bad exmaples, while ignoring the reality of True Christian Polygamy as actually-defined at TruthBearer.org. (For even more specific details, also see LoveNotForce.com and History of the Christian Polygamy "Movement.")

While most of the book, "God's Brothel," presents its "examples" from another religious belief system (namely, Mormonism), some Mormon Polygamous wives completely disagree with how the book portrays their religious beliefs as well.

Using the same illogic as in these above examples, the new book, "God's Brothel," perpetrates a grave injustice against normal, caring polygamous families. It absurdly tries to implicate "all" polygamists as abusive and other horribles, all by "reporting" a tiny handful of anecdotal examples. Despite such obvious slander, the fact is that normal polygamists have always opposed abuse and their hearts have always wanted to reach out to those who have been abused.

The book's title offensively insults "all" polygamous women by calling them prostitutes. Polygamy has never been a "brothel" of prostitutes under any circumstances.

The facts therefore prove that "God's Brothel" is not an accurate portrayal of what the masses of normal polygamists believe or do, even though their hearts do go out to all victims. In the end, the book itself "pimps" off the hurting abuse-victims, prostituting their painful stories to make a buck for the author. So it harms everyone as the profiteering author whips up false hysteria.
