I’ve alway thought that one of the strangest things was that they stopped the polygamy thing when the state told them to do so.

Actually, the Mormons resisted as long as they could ... until their church was dissolved as an illegal criminal enterprise ... and the government began to confiscate their Perpetual Immigration Fund monies ... and all their other assets. And even they lied about it even unto this day.

Nevertheless, your point is well taken. By contrast, Christians refused to worship the Roman Emperor, even after having all of their money taken, being burned at the stake, fed to lions, executed in public arenas, etc.

Incidentally, all of the other items on my list were done quietly and without coercion ... after enough people began to laugh at their faith.

In Mormonism is it all about the money (and PR).

The quickest way to get the LDS church to back off is to have your lawyer contact them.
