For one, I seriously, seriously doubt Warren Jeffs will be getting out anytime soon.

Secondly, where did you get the idea that people were allowed to get away with 'bad things' because it was part of their religion?

If I beat up a homosexual of cut off a theif's hands, I wouldn't just get away with it because I said to the police "Hey man, it's cool! It's my religion!"

If you don't remember the crack down on the FLDS compound, they definitely DID NOT get away with it. It was in the news for weeks, Jeffs was sent to prison (obviously) and their kids were taken away.

Keep in mind that FLDS is a cult not a religion, and polygamy is not a religion and is not practiced in any mainstream religion anymore. The LDS church (Mormon) reject this now which is why groups like the FLDS (Hint: Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) break off and form cults.

Cults and indoctranation occur all over the place but if something illegal is going down (and their is proof) they DON'T get away with it so I don't know why you think they do.

Also, I don't really have a problem with polygamy if it isn't occuring within a cult and everyone is a consenting adult.
