why do you think mormonism is seen as so dangerous? was it about marriage? was it about property? >> guest: yeah that is a fascinating history as opposed to some of the other groups whom i am talking. there are not the issues, the same issues of an outside threat coming in the way you have with the irish catholics. so that mormons were entirely homegrown and over different periods, over a couple of centuries we find they differ by different ideas. one of the ideas at the time in the beginnings of mormonism was a very strong sense of republicanism in the united states. you have now a religious group that talks about establishing a a psion and seems to be moving in a separatist direction and so that keyed into various concerns about the national order. and then let's say the turn-of-the-century when the first mormon senator was elected and wasn't allowed to take a seat for three years because the senate was investigating whether was acceptable to have a seat in congress, there was a different kind of concern. at that time americans were dealing with issues of monopolies and the powe

whitey think mormonism was seen as so dangerous? what is it about marriage or property or why was it so alarming to people? >> guest: that's the fascinating history because some of the other groups about to my talking this is not an immigrant group. so these are not the issues. of the outside threat coming in in the way that you have like irish catholics. so they were entirely homegrown and fees for periods that were just a couple centuries we find that the antagonisms were by different ideas. so one of the ideas of the time in the beginning of mormonism was a very strong sense of republicanism that is used in the united states. and so you have now a religious group that talks about establishing the sign-on and seems to be moving in the separatist direction and so that leads to the various concerns about the national order. and then in the turn of the century when the first mormon senator was elected and wasn't allowed to take the seat for three years because the senate was investigating whether it was acceptable for him to have the

let's look at a latter day example the mormons they were polygamists because they needed to produce as big a nation as they possibly could as quickly as possible so people were going to push them around no a lot of people who look at the mormons in this in they find it really weird but look at the genesis i mean that's how all of us started here judeo christian world . all the patriarchs were polygamists they had numerous numerous was until this very interesting you get to joseph and joseph is. i think in the. possibly the first ecologist he must have been extremely observant because he realized that we were entering a time of scarcity and he held himself to one wife they only had two children with sons and ultimately console the pharaoh of egypt that in order to get through lean times we have to conserve. who i interviewed in tel aviv said that. the interpretation is that in times of famine you refrain from having children until. times are generous again interest in fact one of the i thought one of the more interesting stories in the book was when you went to salt lake city and sat do
