It Says a Lot When "The Competition" Is Technically a Minor

Fundamentalist Mormonism is not a religion. For something to be a religion, it has to inspire people in some way, shape, or form. Hell, the Church of Scientology, for all its pseudoscience and money-grubbing, is technically a religious body. What Fundamentalist Mormonism is, is a disease. It destroys people. It tells its followers to give up their lives to a con man who they are never to question, and forces girls into arranged marriages at young ages.

The latest victims of the rampage are young men who are being kicked out of the only life they've ever known for the most minor of offenses; however, they suggest that it's because they're viewed as competition by their faith's leader for sweet, sweet teenaged poonani (and no, I really don't want to look at my referral logs after typing that). And in case you're still fostering the illusion that this is for the best...

"He [Warren Jeffs, cult leader] told me I wasn't welcome," Steed said. "And on the way out he said: 'Just to let you know, when the final devastation comes, you will be destroyed.' I believed it completely. If you are told your whole life the Earth is flat, what else would you believe?"

Don't you just love it when the man you've put faith in your entire life tells you to your face that you are less than an insect?

This "faith" (and I use the term loosely) does nothing but crush the wills of its followers for the benefit of a middle-aged horndog with a God complex. I hope you get the bastards, AG Shurtleff.

Can I tell you how thrilled I am that this guy set up his compound here in Texas? Because what Texas really needs right now is more "religious" freaks.
 
God, between some of the Southern Baptists and the Fundamentalist Mormons, I wouldn't be surprised if Texas turned into the theological equivalent of Thunderdome.
