Utah is where the Amish live, isn't it?
Mormans: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
Edit: speling
AKA the even crazier brand of Christian. They're not quite Scientologist levels of crazy, but they're not far off.
They are worse. They believe in the "end times," hence Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell murders and countless other bad actors who believe Christ is coming tomorrow so what they do today is justified.
That's just an evangelical Christian thing. I know a Baptist who's always going on about the rapture and how "Jesus is coming". The nutter once couldn't find anyone for a couple hours and didn't see anyone outside and decided the rapture had begun so she went and started packing a bag "to meet Jesus".
It's mental illness, only we are so used to it that it's been normalized to a degree. Just saying so triggers a sense of religious persecution. Going back to the Lori Vallow example, she still seems to think she's right and won't spend the rest of her life in prison, going off her court appearances and a television interview. She murdered her children and commissioned the murder of her husband and likely conspired in the murder of Chad Dabell's wife, for those not in the know.
