14. Mormons have only been around for about 200 years

Their practice of polygamy (multiple wives not multiple husbands) is not taught anywhere in the Bible. It was the personal belief of their founder, not backed up by any Christian teaching. The Mormon "religion" has supposedly banned polygamy now since the mid-20th century, but apparently some Mormons are still doing it even though it's against the law. These guys should be locked up, it's not a religious practice or belief.

Just sayin'

does their religion make them sick?? Angry Dragon Jan 2018 #1
Sick people using religion as an excuse, probably. The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2018 #4
Not "probably". More like "likely" for a few thousand years and counting.. BigmanPigman Jan 2018 #9
