Bountifully Hideous

It represents a vicious practise more relevant to the Middle Ages than the 21st Century in North America. Pederasts, child molesters, serial bigamists, sexual predators have found a solution to the problem inherent in satisfying their pathological perversions by influencing the suggestible looking for a place to comfortably put their faith in the immortality of religious devotion.

The breakaway Mormon Church that prides itself on still practising polygamy represents an offence against civilization.

Yet, in the United States and in Canada, the practitioners of polygamy have succeeded in influencing their communities that it is right and proper and blessed in the eyes of God to sacrifice their teen, and on occasion pre-teen daughters to holy matrimony with older men who have elite status in the Church and who have gathered to themselves countless other 'wives'.

All of whom are dedicated to that esteemed personage's personal wishes and desires.

To honour and obey him, and to raise countless children so his DNA will continue to defile humanity long after he has gone on to explain to the Almighty what a faithful servant he has been. The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has bypassed the authorities in their leaders criminally practising illegal and clear criminal violations of the law and prevailing social mores.

Parents living in Bountiful, British Columbia have crossed the border into the United States with their pubescent daughters to obediently hand them over to men in the United States living in the American counterpart Mormon Church communities practising polygamy. One such man, Warren Jeffs, added two 12-year-old Canadian girls to increase his already bountiful harem of 57 wives.

Girls of 14, 15, 17, bespoken by their fathers to mature men, handed over as pawns in the Mormon communities, their lives circumscribed by the circumstances of their parents' devotion to a spiritual belief that insists that girls and women be chattel to bear children and be available for sexual gratification whenever called upon by a man who views himself atavistically as a holy Eastern potentate.

These marriages of mature men who have convinced their communities that they do the bidding of God, to young girls and women as though they were fulfilling the commandments of a deity assault the dignity and the human rights of the girls and women who live out their lives in human bondage. This is a sordid insult to the integrity of the human spirit and basic human rights.

The caution with which the legal system and the law enforcement system are tackling this issue is indefensible, given Canadian guarantees of security, and freedom and laws against child exploitation. Even pitting them against the constitutional rights of religious devotees to be free from persecution.
