Arguably some good news. Pedophile pervert and self-proclaimed “prophet” Warren Jeffs has been sentenced to life in prison for impregnating a 15 year-old and sexually assaulting a 12 year-old. Good riddance, I hope you rot in prison for a long, long time.

Now THAT is a sentiment I can totally agree with. Good riddance to rubbish.
Now if we could just de-program those still in the cult…

I’m sure he’ll have much success converting the rest of the inmates. Not.

Well, maybe not converting, but Big Bubba\* might decide he likes that purty mouth.

As soon as I saw that in the paper this morning, I admit, I had a smirk on my face. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving jackass.

Might as well close this one now, before it turns into the _“Prison Rape is No Laughing Matter”_ show.
I’ll preemptively take this opportunity to join in the pile-on with my satisfaction at the verdict and the sentence.
Sorry about your thread, **Qin**.

God told him it was OK. Do you know better than God?

Pile-on? This guy lived for pile-ons!
But I am elated. This guy was pure fucking evil. Yet, while he was probably[the worst of the bunch](http://abcnews.go.com/US/warren-jeffs-rape-trial-hears-audio-girls-alleged/story?id=14221603), he was hardly the only man involved who was just sure God wanted him to have as many young brides as possible. Isn’t that always the way? It’s like God’s got nothing else on his mind except young girls, McMansions and, occasionally, dodging taxes.

If God tells you to do something, and it is evil, it wasn’t God. Do people really think we Christians haven’t already dealt with what to do with someone who claims “God told them” when it winds up hurting other people? Please.
Read here for a list of [scriptures](http://www.openbible.info/topics/judging_false_teachers) on the subject.
The only problem is that too many people don’t follow the Bible on this, and let people get by, like a bunch of people you can name. And, of course, there are a few things that are contentious. Pedophilia and rape are not among them.

You have a very narrow definition of evil.

Actually, that claim is entirely accurate. As a matter of fact, if God tells you to do something, and it is good, then it isn’t God, either.

I wonder what the history of incarceration is regarding this church and past incidents in which older men took child brides. Has anyone else been jailed before? Is Jeffs unusual or simply the most egregious offender?

His conjugal visits might bankrupt the state.

He might get along OK, though.
“What’re you in for, Slim?”
“My ex-wives fell prey to the Devil.”
“I heard that, brother! My bitch ol’ lady set me up, too!”

In a perfect world all the doormat shit-for-brains parents of his 12 year old bride’s would join him.

Maybe they shouldn’t allow children to visit inmates.
