Regardless of the court decision, the [LDS] Church remains irrevocably committed to strengthening traditional marriage between a man and a woman, which for thousands of years has proven to be the best environment for nurturing children.

They'll hem and haw for several minutes and dance around the questions and then call you a homophobe.
Yep, would welcome the namecalling... “noticed you called me a name but didn’t answer the question...”
Lol. It has happened to me a few times.
“The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you’re gonna hear about it!”
The polygamist laughs up his sleeve at the racket he lives by. He could not afford that life style on his own.

Why? "It's for the children". "It's about benefits and protecting rights" "Why can't I marry Fido so he's cared for if I pass on?"It's just not fair to the children of the first marriage to be second-class citizens after the divorce....all the kids should be together'
Of course I don't approve....I don't think the government should be involved in marrying people at all. But I can see these arguments following.
Well...Festivus is for the restofus.
Now, wait a minute......
Who says this is a one way street? If men can have multiple wives, then women will demand multiple husbands.
At least for as long as sharia law is not in effect.......
out of 5-6 surely ONE would keep the lawn looking nice!
The numbers don’t usually work out that way, but you’re welcome to give it a try. Multiple husbands would be worse than sharing the house with one husband and six sons, though!
I'll let someone else do that. One is enough.
Just pay no attention to the man behind the curtain who was "told by god that he was to have 37 wives".....isn't it funny how the collective mormon memory works???
SOMEbody is NOT 'sustaining the leaders'!! #4

"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned;
and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given,
and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.
Brigham Young - JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)
I expect most women would say that. The evidence of history and anthropology strongly indicates that neither men nor women care for polyandry.
“If bisexuality is ‘natural’”
According to the law now, it is.
“According to the law now, it is.”
Man can make any law he wants, but there is little value in it...in a valueless world.
Grant unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s...
Oh wait, what happened to Rome and its’ empire?
