contradictions

The Mormon Doctrine is with filled with many contradictions. I believe the two major inconclusions are polygamy and the concept of the age of accountability. For nearly 30 years, Mormons have practiced polygamy as a practice ordained by God. Yet Mormons today condemn polygamy. Why is it that now Mormons shun a practice which Joseph Smith had proclaimed was a decree from God? Does that disprove Joseph Smith as a "prophet" from God? Another concept that is mind-boggling is the age of accountability. According to Mormon doctrine, children under the age of 8 will be exempt from their actions and saved. If this is so, why is it that ALL children are not killed before the age of 8? Why give them the chance to go to hell? Of course, your obvious response would be that of free will. But why allow people to go to hell when they can be guaranteed salvation? And, of course, there is the consideration of the infringement of the sixth commandment, thou shall not murder. But is not the withholding of guaranteed salvation a "greater" sin than murder?
