No I don't think it will be overturned. They might adjust the 
settlement. I hope not. Civil law is the only way to send these 
messages. Bankrupting them is just. Churches can believe anything 
they want but they are not free to practice those beliefs when they 
interfere with the rights of others. One example of this is when 
Christian Science parents let their children die of preventable 
causes like a burst appendix because they refuse to take the child to 
a doctor. Another is the FLDS where Warren Jeffs believes he has the 
right to give young girls to men of his choosing for sexual and 
breeding purposes. He can believe it but if he acts on that belief he 
is criminally liable.
Fascinating about Matt Shepherd. Did they support Matts killers then? 
Followed that enough to know the perpetrators were linked to the LDS.
