Check the U.S. Supreme Court decision on this. Clearly you don’t know what you are talking about.
It was CLEARLY aimed at Mormons openly practicing pologomy. Chritsians didn’t want pologomy in the U.S.. That is WHY pologomy is against the law, however Mormaons in Utah, wink at that and pologomy is still practiced by many Mormons.
Every person I know that advocated plurally marriage was excommunicated.
The misinformation on this web site flows like water down the Mississippi
FALSE.
Those that practice polygamy are NOT LDS Members. They have been excommunicated and disavowed and should not be confused with the actual Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
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.

Polygamy is not winked upon in the state of Utah. There are no Mormons who practice polygamy, if one does, excommunication immediately follows. We can't even have sympathies or connections with any polygamous group.
