This article is about a religion, Mormonism...
Shouldnt it be in the Religion Forum ???
Ping for later
Polygamy is a marriage that includes a man and more than one wife. Polyandry is a marriage in that includes a wife and more than one husband.
It seems that Beck left out the part about God once being a mere man.
I’m sure his next video will be a show on all the archaeological sites mentioned in the Book of Mormon.
Just minor oversights.

I was somewhat disappointed in the clips of the show that I saw. He does explain that polygamy is not officially countenanced by the LDS today, but he did not do a very good job of explaining why they allowed it in the first place, nor the reasoning behind stopping the practice.
The reason Malibu Ken’s grandfather took his multi-wived family to live in Mexico was because polygamy was outlawed in the U.S.A.. He just left that part out when he appealed to the Mexican vote during the RNC convention.

With all the anti-Morman attacks in today’s politics and in the 2012 campaign I think it’s perfectly placed. Of course, some will want to “hide” threads such as this.
How many wives did King Solomon and King David have?
Beck can save his efforts. Ryan has my vote sewn up.
More than I do? ;-)
In the religion forum? No, if its here, everyone can comment, not just the mormons. So i like that. It seems like an open way to discuss things. Even people like you can chime in and opine as long as you stay within FR rules. Besides, every day i get treated for example to numerous Catholic theads here that are nothing but pure esoteric dogma discussions, and they are not always in the religion forum. Yet, i never see you whine about that?
Thought about it. But had already been posting it in the news area so just finished it and posted. Sorry.
Yeah. I see numerous Catholic and Islamic threads in the news area.
Mormonism has enough fantasies, from God being married to blacks being excluded from the priesthood that is not even part of the NT church, that men like Beck can only engage in damage control when exposed.
It owes what virtue it has to the Bible, which the LDS exalts its own writings and authority over.
Oh good God Almighty.
This piece is so full of distortions on the history of mormonism I am howling with laughter.
But hey, Beck marches to the mormon godS drum, not a surprise.
The real question is should he be exposing mormonism before the election.
And when those of us who know mormonism and said Romney is mormonism that’s who he is, will they finally get it.
Funny how we never see you attacking Islam.
But it's the theology that's central and that's where orthodoxy and Mormonism part ways.
