Re: Standoff Emerges at Polygamist Retreat

Interesting arguments as to why this religion? Oh wait, I meant to say cult? Or is it a sect? How about calling it a breakout faction? Why not Catholic Churches - lots of pedophile priests running around. How about charlatan preacher's taking money based on false promises (fraud)?

By any name its a group of Mormons who happen to read something into their scripture that others don't. Isn't this the founding idea of every religion? And one of the strongest arguments why there is no god: why leave the most fundamental of beliefs, namely these are my directions on how you should live your life, open to misinterpretation? Lazy god? Dumb god?

If its just a bunch of old guys who figured out a way to have sex with teenage girls - understandable - not legal but understandable.

At least Texas is doing something about it. I'd like to see Utah or Idaho do similar.
