SAN ANGELO, Texas (AP) -- Young teenage girls at a polygamist compound in West Texas were required to have sex in a soaring white temple after they were married in sect-recognized unions, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday ... Agents found a bed in the temple with disturbed linens and what appeared to be a female hair ... Associated PressHard-on city, right, boys? Them Mormons was purty clever to raise them girls that way, huh? Jayziz. The FLDS is fucked up. But the media's restraint hasn't exactly been impressive.
I believe in religious freedom. If multiple marriage works for people, fine. Of course, there's debate as to whether it does. I suspect it generally does not. Not if one is raised to believe it's God's Will or some shit. If you come to polygamy or polyamory naturally because that's just the way you are, great. I don't want any laws to get in your way. But if you're only there because you were raised by a bunch of patriarchal power freaks, forget it. And let's not even waste time discussing children being married off, even to someone their own age, never mind some dirty old bastard my age. I know how those guys think.
Indeed I do. A bed in the temple, huh? Hmmm.

ITA. I have no problem with consenting ADULTS entering into polygamous situations. As long as they're paying taxes and not abusing kids, all is cool. I thought that when kids were not in a public school situation that there was some monitoring going on anyway -- if not, there should be. No child in the U.S. should be allowed to be hidden away forever.
On NPR this morning I heard a mention that one of the girls had FOUR children by the time she was 16.
Disgusting.
"Not if one is raised to believe it's God's Will or some shit."
Those really are the only two possibilities, aren't they? If it ain't God's Will, it's some shit.

This applies to pretty much everything.
Back in the Ramses II era the law was basically "ABSOLUTELY NO INCEST. The privilege is reserved to the royal family." Now if that were the law, GWB would be doing Jenna, or perhaps (as in the similar case of Anhhumotep III, ca. 6670-30 BCE) ) would be ordered by GHWB to do Barbara. We would read of this and gossip in hieroglyphics.
If it ain't God's Will, it's some shit.
I thought that if it's not Scottish it's CRAAP!
Love the post title, Don.
