GUEST,dianavan BS: Texas Polygamist Colony Raid (422* d) RE: BS: Texas Polygamist Colony Raid 31 May 08


I remember my dad saying that every parent has the right to raise their child in the best way they see fit. I think, heric, that may be very, old school. Gone are the days when you could physically beat a child that was 'bad' or restrict them from going to school.

In my opinion, you may raise your children in the religion of your choice unless...

the religious beliefs conflict with the law.

Religious freedom is a parent's choice but when your education is severely limited, there is no ability to make educated choices about anything. This is especially true when you 'marry' at a young age and become bound to your children. These women are enslaved by a belief system that teaches them to fear the outside world. They really have no choice at all, even after they become adults.

This is a very dangerous sect and I think its important to clearly define limits to religious freedom. When push comes to shove, the law must prevail. I sound like a real law and order goon. I must be getting old.
