Well, I don't really see why, but I have no problem with submitting to one. :)
Another thought...
At least in the United States, we are a country based on religious freedoms. No one should ever be forced to answer for their personal beliefs. Many other countries feel the same way. If we line up Mormons for an inquisition, it would be no different than rounding up Catholics, Jews, Protestants, Muslims, Baptists, Puritans, Buddhists, Trekkies, Scientologist, Pagans, or Atheists.
It is a total violation of their rights. If they do something illegal or that causes someone harm, they will answer to that individually.
Also, if they really truly believe in their religion, they are going to pass anything you ask them about it. As long as they feel they are answering truthfully, hooking them up to a machine is not going to change anything.
This line of thinking actually worries me, and I am not even Mormon (although several friends are). What is the next step if they all failed the test, and they still had their beliefs? If in your mind they are all proved wrong, but they do not "repent," then what? Do you escalate from there? How far do you go to force your belief on them?

Why are Mormons being required to pass a polygraph to determine if they truly believe to get into the temple and into Heaven with God and don't they trust us?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do not have to take a polygraph test in order to prove their faith or to get into the temple or into heaven. Mormons believe in the phrase "By their fruits ye shall know them" (Matthew 7:20), and believe that one's faith is made evident by their willingness to follow God's commandments, not by the taking of any sort of test. In order to enter the temple, one must have a simple interview with the Bishop in which they declare their personal belief in Jesus Christand obedience to God's commandments. There is no polygraph - the Bishop just takes their word for it. Mormons believe that God knows and sees all - no polygraph and no interview is needed to enter heaven. God knows the thoughts and intentions of your heart.

Is a polygraph test inadmissible in court?
Although they can be used in conducting criminal investigaions, the results of polygraphs cannot normally be entered into evidence in court as other types of "evidence" might be.1980 - United States v. RobertsThe prosecutor had told the grand jury unequivocally that polygraph results were inadmissible in a court of law and the court called her on the carpet and stated that her statememnt was false and said "The Court dissapproves of the prosecutor's bold statement to the Grand Jury that polygraph evidence is inadmissible at trial. Such statements are absolutely untrue. The Ninth Circuit has held that polygraph evidence is admissible within the trial court's discretion."As current law stands it is up to the trial judge as to how he or she will handle any motion to admit polygraph evidence.However Legally in all 50 States of the US you can refuse to submit to a polygraph test and the fact that you refused the test can't be used against youin a court of law..But if you take the test it could be used against you if the trial judge decides to allow it.If a grand jury is reviewing the evidence to see if sufficient data exists to proceed with a trial they can use the results of a polygraph test in their recommendation to no-bill or indict. In my experience the accused should always appear before the grand jury and/or take a polygraph. Passing a polygraph will almost always get a no-bill. Failing it or failing to take one will usually result in an indictment.

Why are Mormons so cruel?
They shouldn't be. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that God loves all of mankind, that we are all his children, and that we should love all people as God loves them. However, Mormons aren't perfect. While their church preaches that they should be kind and loving to everyone, many have difficulty doing so.
