profligate

profligate - adj - shamelessly immoral; dissipated; dissolute; recklessly wasteful

There was an article on the news yesterday about the famous polygamist in Utah (currently in prison) who asserts polygamy is a religious issue and is therefore protected under the constitution. If I understood correctly, the suit against him isn't so much related to the issue of polygamy as it is about the underage girls to whom he is either married or has arranged marriages for.

Mormon

Mormon - n - An ancient prophet believed to have compiled a sacred history of the Americas, which were translated and published by Joseph Smith as the Book of Mormon in 1830; A member of the Mormon Church.

I'm back to heresy, and, needless to say, I consider Mormons heretics. (Ditto for Jehovah's Witnesses; I'm not sure about Seventh Day Adventists.)

Wolf referred me to a great apologetics site, which I've been giving a real workout. The section on heresy is especially helpful, especially if (like me) you have trouble sorting out the Monophysites, Adoptionists, Nestorians, Patripassionists, Monarchians, Docetists, Arians, and Monothilites. Here's a link:
