Quote by: Kakumei  Alright, lets get this straight before I get irritated here!
These are not the real 'mormons' here, they are a
cult-like religion that broke off the main religion just
so they could sexually abuse children, and broke off because
the real sect denounces polygamy and sexual abuse and not
glory in it!!! |
I'm sorry if I irritated you, but you failed to address any of my points, especially the greater issues.
My simple argument is just that: Unless people have violated me personally, or greatly endanger my community, I'll be very hesitant to use force against them. There are all kinds of "cult-like religions" that do all manners of things I disagree with. Do I advocate going in and breaking them up? No. Another example is families who raise children to join the military. I object to this common practice on very strong grounds, but still I'm not going to invade a "military family" and re-educate them. Whether these people need my assistance (if, for example, someone wants to escape a despotic Mormom marriage and desperately seeks my help -- an unlikely situation, to be sure) remains entirely up to them.
Views like yours don't make a lot of sense. If these people are actually engaging in some "traditional Mormon values" (which I suppose they are), then why not just call them orthodox Mormons?
