I agree completely about this particular sect and the child brides. I think the government should come in and take the kids away if the parents are unfit and abusing the kids. I only mean polygamy in general should not be illegal. I know that it is, I just think the government is wrong. I also think the government is wrong when it comes to hard liquor. In my state no one can buy hard liquor on a Sunday or holiday, and you can only buy it after 10 AM on the other days and no later than 7pm. I just get so tired of the government getting in the way. The Sunday law goes way back to when everyone was a Christian and believed in holy Sunday. Some people just don’t and would like a mai tai on Sunday.One thing that should be pointed out that wasn’t. None of these couples are actually polygamists I don’t think. They are only legally (government standards) married to their first wife. The rest of the wives are (spiritual) but not legal relationships. There is no law in the books that says I can’t be married to Joe but have Fred and Tony on the side, as long as Joe was stupid enough to let me do it. I would have to seriously wonder if even the marriages to the first wives are legal. I don’t know that they were married by a minister that is approved by the state, or that they paid the normal fees, or that they sent off for their marriage licenses.I don’t think that making polygamy legal for this religious group (who truly believes they wont go to their version of heaven without plural marriage) would open the door to animal sacrifice or human sacrifice. It seems you could write the law in a way that limited religious freedoms to self inflicted things rather than things that will hurt others.In a way both animal and human sacrifices are already done in the USA. Both Islam and Judaism believe the animal must be slaughtered in a particular way for it to be kosher. And the Catholic Church drinks the blood and takes from the body who they fully believe to be Jesus Christ weekly.
