Yet another religious cult raided

[kandrathe]

Well, yeah.

Maybe I'm being thick here, but what does Thomas Paine being influenced by the natural law theories of Locke, Hutcheson and Rousseau have to do with a polygamist cult in Texas, even off as we are on a tangent?

Yeah, it's a tangent. We were talking about 416 children being liberated from their parents dangerous 180 year old religious views, and the people (men and women, boy and girls) being taught generation by generation that the outside world was evil and to be shunned keeping them in virtual slavery.

My view was that its dangerous ground when the State begins to free you from your own beliefs.
