Quote:First, you seem pretty willing to blur culture and religion now that we're talking about Mohammed, going back fifteen centuries and halfway around the world. But you're pretty touchy about it when it comes to Christians in Haiti.This also reminds me of a small discussion from a few years back, when a *Christian* minority was accused of child abuse and Kandrathe even found reason to defend them.
Quote:So, you see that the trouble for LDS and now FLDS has its roots in the beginnings of the religion. They have always practiced what they are practicing now. I don't believe they are in it for the sex or the arranged marriages with under aged girls, but are practicing their beliefs and are in it for the bearing of many (FLDS) children. ...They have not changed. It is society that has encroached upon their beliefs and territory.
