I find it interesting: Currently in the news 3/4/11: : Brigham Young University’s star basketball player, Brandon Davies, is dismissed from the team for having premarital sex, but Brigham Young , who the University is named after, and who was President of the Church for 30 years, “had 55 wives. One was 15 years old. Young had 57 children by 16 of his wives”. Quote is from my book: http://tinyurl.com/4bcvmem .A list of his 55 wives is in Wikipedia (from Church Records) here: http://tinyurl.com/25ea22e -Samuel Butler, Author.
One more thing, also from the book.
Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon movement, had at least 24 wives. One was 14 years old, and after the marriage considered herself as an abused child. Here is a list of his wives from official church records:

Read NOW! This Einstein letter sold October 18, 2012 on Auction for $3,000,000.
“The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. ... For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstition.”—Albert Einstein, Princeton, March 1, 1954 in a letter to Eric Gutkind, Jewish Philosopher/Author. From: http://atheismexposed.tripod.com/einstein.htm By 1939 Einstein became quite confident in propagating his views against anthropomorphic religion. In a speech at the Princeton Theological Seminary he forcefully proposed that the time had come for them to take the lead in dismantling religions based on the view of a “personal” God: “In the struggle for ethical good teachers of religion must have the stature to give up the doctrine of a personal God, that is give up the source of fear and hope which in the past placed such vast powers in the hands of priests.”[xxiii] They also should avail themselves of “the forces that are capable of cultivating the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, in humanity itself.”[xxiv]ISLAM
