Flashermac Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 << Critics claim that some members of the church are violating laws (because polygamy is illegal in the United States) when they participate in polygamy. Critics claim that incest and sexual abuse of children are prevalent among church members. >> So why haven't they acted against them before?

Bangkoktraveler Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 The news media still has not posted definitive criminal charges these people had committed. To me, it looks more like a witch hunt. Just because some people believe differently then others is not grounds for false arrest especially in a land that claims to promote freedom of religion but in reality is not tolerant of most beliefs. From what I can see, if a person follows practices mentioned in the Bible, they are, for the most part, criminals in the USA. What the USA should do is ban the Bible and change the constitution in respects to the issue of freedom of religion and let people know what the USA really stands for.

robaus Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I think all religions are nutty.... the opium of the masses. I have a list of 947 different cults and rising, all believing that they have the one truth that no-one else has. Someone has been telling porkies to the other 946! The one true church for me is The Landover Baptist Church Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"False arrest"? Nonsense. It is neither the duty nor the right of the State to try the accused in the newspapers. The charges will be filed in the courts according to law. You can wait. The accused and their counsel know what's going on. That and the safety of the innocent are what is important here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
