"Uncertain future for US polygamy sect
The arrest of US religious leader Warren Jeffs over alleged sex
offences has brought his reclusive polygamous sect back into the
public eye.
[snip for brevity]
What's your point? The guy was [allegedly] responsible for forcing
girls as young as 12-y.o. to "marry" older men, giving the girls no
choice in the matter. Are you suggesting that under "religious
freedom" he should have been allowed to do that? Or what?
What is religious freedom if it isn't that?
Isn't the point of religious freedom that people act on utterly
bizarre beliefs?
In rural India little girls are still sold to temples as sex slaves
and women still throw themselves on their husband's funeral pyres.
That's religion despite the British Empire's attempts to suppress it.
Does religious freedom only apply to some religions?
Should Muslims not be allowed to live under Shari'a law because
Christian countries find it obnoxious?
Off with your head Maru

Theists cannot be trusted as they believe that right and wrong are
the arbitrary proclamations of invisible demons.
