what's the difference between these two 'men'?

they both had 'sex' with minors. they both are not in possession of their right minds. they both are living outside of the law. they both do NOT think they did anything wrong. oh, the difference? one gets 45 days the other gets life (BOTH should get life) first this dude: Polygamist gets 45 days for sex with teen bride
Investigator fears sentence sends wrong message
By Harriet Ryan Court TV
(Court TV) -- An Arizona judge has sentenced a polygamist to 45 days in county jail for having sex with a teenager he took as his third wife.
The sentence disappointed authorities in Kingman, Arizona, who had hoped a harsher punishment for defendant Kelly Fischer would discourage others in the church from taking teenage wives.
Fischer was the first of seven members of the Fundamentalist Latter-day Saints (FLDS) to be tried for plural marriages to minors.
"I don't know if we've sent a strong enough message to these people," said Gary Engels, an investigator with the Mohave County Attorney's office.
About 7,000 FLDS members live in the twin border towns of Colorado City, Arizona, and Hildale, Utah.
Members of the group, which broke with mainstream Mormons in the 1890s over polygamy, believe that only those in plural marriages can reach the highest level of heaven.........
and THIS dude Man Says Sex With Kids a Sacred Ritual CLEVELAND (AP) -- A man accused of sexually assaulting nine boys with physical or mental disabilities told a judge that having sex with children is a sacred ritual protected by civil rights laws.

Phillip Distasio, who said he is the leader of a church called Arcadian Fields Ministries, represented himself at his pretrial hearing Wednesday. He is charged with 74 counts including rape, pandering obscenity to minors and corrupting another with drugs.

"I'm a pedophile. I've been a pedophile for 20 years," he said in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Wednesday. "The only reason I'm charged with rape is that no one believes a child can consent to sex. The role of my ministry is to get these cases out of the courtrooms."...........

I guess Distasio should have looked into the frickin' priesthood ... maybe he can go do community service in Tyre

Hi Rose!

RI did a piece just recently on the later of your examples. Umm. I wonder what might happen if a Wiccan did something like that?? Or a Moslem. Goddess forbid.

Anyway, I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for lighting those candles!


Have you ever given consideration to expressing in writing some aspects of your faith? That would be quite interesting. If you would rather keep it private-no problem.

Peace be with you!

It never ceases to amaze me what constitutes as acceptable. 45 days vs. life? Both should be lifers - because children are just that - children. Not a consenting adult.

(oh, and did i mention chopping of parts as part of punishment?)

I'm all for harm none, but not for these guys...

hi aj, glad to see you about! forgive me but who or what is ri?

no, i have never thought of doing a thorough piece on my beliefs. i will mention them from time to time, but don't go very much farther than that. i think that is because there are a lot of things that are within me, i simply cannot explain in words.

roxy, i am so torn as to the do no harm on these monsters. i understand what you're saying
