It does matter who is doing these things. Priests, ministers, and school teachers are in positions of trust, this makes it significantly more deplorable than to follow the teachings of your religion- if this is even what has occurred.

FLDS, Scientologists, Heaven''s Gate, etc. Add these American contributions to the stew of religions with Christians and Muslims. A recent poll suggests Americans are among the most religious (Christian) in the world with 75% responding yes to the question: Have you read a phrase in the Bible in the last 12 months? Spain, France, Italy and Germany showing 20-28%, by way of comparison.

We''re turning into a nation of third-world suckers: give us your stupid and ignorant, we''ll feed them creationism cr*a*p. No surprise our students are falling behind other countries in science and math. And we''ve elected president the most stupid and ignorant of all, GWB, twice.

If there are so many of these underage teenagers pregnant? WHY hasn''t any men been arrested yet???!!!

What''s the rate of underage pregnancy in Texas???

Does CPS take all the kids away, that have underage teenage pregnant girls? DO they send them to foster homes and arrest the fathers???

Then they should strip Miley Cyrus'' parental rights too!!!

Especially when her dad is posing with her in an erotic pose!!!

Is the law different for everyone, for the poor and the rich???

It doesn''t matter who does these kinds of things (Catholic priests, protestant ministers, school teachers, the butcher, baker, or candlestick maker), raping children is wrong, PERIOD!!! One does not have *** with a child as a child cannot consent - and I am tired of people calling this molestation; it is rape, folks and rape is a crime.

Under Texas state law a 16 year old can have *** with parental and state consent. A 17 year old can have ***. So if you have equal distribution of age then %50 of these girls are old enough to have ***. I think the state is just covering their butts.

you''re an idiot. the texas mormans did none of the things that you suggest.

leave the mormons alone. there''s nothing scientifically or biologically wrong with polygamy or with what the mormons have been doing for years. we''re not talking about incest or homosexuality, which is "wrong", biologically speaking.

you idiots claim that science trumps religion, but you won''t follow the science, which indicates that all species will reproduce in abundance.

and speaking of trump, if you want to pick on someone for scamming underage women, pick on the donald.

Speaking of abuse and religion: How many priests have been imprisoned for molesting/abusing boys? Do we hold FLDS to a higher moral standard?
