While the LDS don't condone polygamy or child abuse, the bishop said, the raid has in some ways forged a small connection between the two religions.

LDS denial appears very soft and sympathetic to the FLDS.

and sometimes ludicrous questions directed at people of the Mormon faith.

like baptism for the dead, planet kolob, the atonement at Gethsemane, Jos Smiths 14 yr old bride, mountain meadow massacre, Kinderhook plates, changing revelation, the mysterious book of mormon (transcribed in KJV english), the angel moroni, apostolic lineage, freemasonry - etc etc

See Isaiah 4:1. Some say it speaks of the last days. On the other hand, I beleive Jesus Christ did away with the polygamy common in the Old Testament when he declared in the Gospel of St. Matthew that “No man can serve two masters.”

What is the thing with horns?

I never in my life heard that silly nonsense.

No you are wrong, he was referring to God and Money!

A man that has two wives doesn’t serve them.

And why any man would even want more than one wife is beyond me.

Where do you read anything about horns? I can’t find that in the article.

Sounds like something out of Borat. “Throw the Mormon down the well. Throw the Mormon down the well. You must grab him by his horns...”

I've only got one wife and, beleive me, I serve her. Any man who wants to stay married does.

Those who don't will still be serving her with alimony payments. I don't know why anyone would want more than one wife either, but I also don't understand why some people get turned on by S&M. I just have to recognize that some do.

Doesn’t matter what the Bible says. Most states have laws which limit marriage to two people. And just to back that up Romans 13:1.

[The LDS, historically a persecuted group of people, can sympathize with a church under siege.

“Watching them [Texas Rangers] go into the temple down there, going through it, made me think of the Nauvoo era: just run them out and do what they want to with the building,” Bushman said. “Obviously we understand that a little bit. That’s in the back of our heads.”]

Oh Dear Lord, LDS Apologists for Child Rape. Some of us have been telling you all how Joseph Smith’s seed was as evil as it gets.

This article gives the Mormon Bashers a great opportunity to go for it. It doesn’t matter if these two Churches ( LDS vs. FLDS) have been on separate tracks for 100 years, the Mormon Bashers get to place them under the same rug. After all, Evangelicals can always point out that they worship the correct Jesus and others, i.e. Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, Christian Scientists, Mormons worship some other kind of Jesus.

The Mormon Basher Evangelical has all the truth and every one else doesn’t have any.

I wouldn’t have included Seventh Day Adventists in your group.

These cult members don't support the extra wives - they put them on food stamps and welfare. You and I support them. These men just boink them.

I'm always surprised gay men haven't moved in to take advantage of these gullible women. They could start a cult where the women only have sex for procreation - and teenagers boys are "awarded" to older "profits" for fun. Teen girls not needed to produce new crops of young sexy boys could be run off the "compound"... Just to make it more authentic for the ditsy women, the cult members - ummmmm, religious idiots - could be force to wear long hair in ugly buns and "cover their shame" with cheap long plain dresses. Kind of like the hetro cults...

My feeling is that any women who hands her son or daughter over to a pedophile ( under the gussied up excuse of religion or not) - should be shot. Or given a lethal injection - or whatever the state in her jurisdiction allows.

“My feeling is that any women who hands her son or daughter over to a pedophile ( under the gussied up excuse of religion or not) - should be shot. Or given a lethal injection - or whatever the state in her jurisdiction allows.”

I certainly can understand feeling that way, but what happens to these women is they were also abused as young girls and a lot of women incest surviors pimp their kids to the men they marry, it is what they know as a role model.

It is their internal model of love.

After all they interalize that they turned out okay, even though we know they didn’t.

So you see this whole group of people are all very abused people.

And gay men and women who are pedophiles are doing one even better, they are convincing people to let them ‘adopt’ children.

So the government is providing the pedophiles with children to abuse.

Isaiah 4
1And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

Too much coffee.
