Quote:To put it in more relaxed words. Kandrathe seems to think that somebody that is religious does this for a good cause and can make mistakes but merely because he tries so hard to do good, or is just simply confused.Actually, no. I question my government anytime they act in force against people without having made a just case for doing so. I don't think the government had the right to march in and seize everyones children. They had the right to protect those children that were being abused, but I've seen no evidence by the State that there is any evidence at all. So far, there is only rumor and a phone call which has not been substantiated. I'm not defending polygamy, or marrying under aged girls. I question the motives of the government moving against a cult that has not changed its practices for 180 years.
Quote:Well this might be so for the followers (the people that get lured in to these sects, or religions in general) but it certainly is not true for the sect leaders, most of whom are narcissistic, egocentric, sociopaths that only want power.Firstly, the people at Eldorado were mostly born into FLDS, they weren't lured into it. Is your opinion of their leadership based on some evidence?
