Moving the goal post is a logical fallacy defined as: “To change the rules while someone is trying to do something in order to make it more difficult for them.”

For example: Joseph Smith never married other women!

Ok, he married them, but no one was underage!

Ok, maybe they were underage, but that was normal at the time!

Ok maybe it wasn’t normal at the time, but the relationships weren’t sexual, probably!

Rarely, there is nothing you can tell a Mormon that they won’t turn around as acceptable behavior from church figures. That is, if they are still wanting Mormonism to be true.
