With SSM now across the country it is safe to come out and say what the Traditionalists said and were poohpoohed about. The logic used for SSM inevitably leads to polygamy.

They can end polygamy at once if they would just whisper the following words in the ear of ANY prospective groom considering two wives:
"You're gonna have TWO mother-in-laws!"
No more polygamy.

Its clearly Biblical. No, it's not.
While there are several instances recorded in the Bible of polygamy, that is also true of every other sin. Nowhere is there approval given for polygamy.

I predicted that legalizing SSM would open the flood gates for polygamy and my prediction seems to be coming true

For those with hardness of heart, they may go for it. They might want to watch out for that eternal afterlife thing.
For all those who get attacked for “judging”, the only response needs to be concern for the other’s soul.

You are correct. I look at my life and I have no reason to judge even a murderer, other than of course to tell him that he needs to repent.
Even if someone falls for this polygamy/adultery then needed to be reminded that they can always choose to repent, desist and ask for forgiveness.
To: ReaganGeneration2
Jeez - I did not advocate polygamy - I just noted the fact that polygamy is Biblical. I guess being that this fact can’t be refuted you got into a discussion on the nature of my soul in the afterlife or some such. Slavery, by the way, is also Biblical - so as you can see - something allowed for in the Bible can be banned in the modern world (as it should be).
