Re: Whoa! Polygamist solution is frightening...

Am I right in understanding that your religious practices can't go against the law of the land?

Not exactly. For instance, it's law that your children be vaccinated, but you can obtain religious exemption and not have them vaccinated.

Like Newman said, prosecute the crimes, ie, statutory rape and polygamy, but why remove the children from the mothers that are caring for them?

  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

I agree!! These kids needed removed from their mothers... the ones who have already been having sex with these men at such young ages and ... The ones who are a product of teenage mothers also..The mothers and babies need to be taken out of there! . because thats just WRONG and yes folks... if they are under 18 it is still rape!!!

It has happened in a few states where a 19 or 20 year old boy had a "relationship" with his girlfriend that was 17.

She got the preggers, her Daddy called the police and the young man who had consensual relations with this minor child ended up in jail for 20 years and on a sexual predators list for life.

But some of us want to protect these men from their crimes under a freedom of religeon defense.
