Sometimes it's an apt comparison. I went looking for porn prayer dude, but I couldn't remember his name, so I tried the generic google.com and finally found what I was looking for Warren Jeffs's trial was nothing if not disturbing: First, Jeffs dismissed his lawyers. Then jurors listened to a religious tirade that masked as an opening statement. And that's before the trial really got going. This past week, those in the courtroom heard a recording of Jeffs instructing girls to shave their intimate parts before presenting themselves to him. Later, they heard an audio recording of a sexual incident between the FLDS leader and a twelve-year old girl, culminating in both of them saying, "Amen." With such graphic evidence, it's unsurprising that jurors convicted Jeffs of all charges after deliberating for less than four hours. huffingtonpost.com That's all without getting into "war as porn", of course.
