How much can you commit to your religion? Most say, Mormon is a cult. Washington do not accept what goes on in Utah because of how their marriage work. Husband can have multiple wives.
A polygamist leader, Warren Jeffs was found guilty. What was the reason? In a religious act, he arranged a marriage with a 14 year old girl & her cousin who was 19 at the time. She went against Warren Jeffs and testify in court that he forced her. She doesn't believe it's about religion any more, simply just child abuse. It was her duty as a Mormon believer. Charges have not been made on her cousin. These believers believe this is what God want them to do. They will still arrange underage marriages.
Warren Jeffs also face charges in Arizona for the same reason. He was on F.B.I. Most Wanted List. Some fear Mr. Jeffs power over the community. I think Mormon believers have taken their religion so over their head, they have cut lose with the outside world. Although it took jurys a while to come up with the results, he will be sentenced to life in prison.
I don't agree with how Mormon believers practice their religion. I don't believe in polygamy & sharing husband. They hold themselves as a community and forget about everything else in the world. In my mind they can technically be considered Amish under some similiarities. It's a cult and the United States can not stop them but when will arranging marriages with underage girls stop? How many more prophets do we need to prosecute?

I think you're confusing a wierd cult with the entire Mormon religion, which is sort of like saying that the world's billion muslims share the beliefs of Osama bin Laden.
