As someone who is not LDS but who has lived in Utah for around 30 years....NO member of the LDS Church practices Pologamy.

However there are a few 'break-off' Churches where Pologamy IS practiced...i.e. see the trial of Rulon Jeffs down in St. George.

Also (as a confirmed Christian for just about my entire life) the LDS ARE Christians.

They view Christ as the Head of their Church.

The ones that I know (and living in Utah means I know a lot of them) have always attempted to follow the example's of Christ in their daily lives...something that I wish many on FR would do...especially on these threads.

You may disagree with the Book of Mormon (I do) but they are Christians.

Remember what the Master of us all said...."Let him among you who is without sin cast the first stone."

They are good people with excellent family values.

Let it go.

Believe whatever you wish!

They don’t believe in the Trinity.

They believe you can achieve “godhood like Christ” did.

They are a works driven faith that believe those who lead excemplatory lives will get a “planet” and “virgins”.

Not at all Christian.

Never mind about their other books that take priority over the Bible - ah, because the Bible was “corrupted”. So young hormone driven Smith comes along and dreams up polygamy as okay as well as other false teachings. His flawed teachings continue ... and what makes LDS or Mormonism unChristian.
