and the FLDS is not up there with them? Oh what a shock? They don't care, they will break the law anyway.
At least Trump is deporting the Muslims, so they can't join in.
If they convert to Catholicism, maybe Pope Francis will allow polygamy. Why not? He said you’re a coward/rigid to follow the Ten Commandments, and the first one he’s let go is “Thou shalt not commit adultery”...
This doesn’t bother me as long as they’re not getting tons of welfare for it. Then it DOES bother me.
Haven’t seen any mormon terrorists in a while.
Even with a show on broadway bashing them every night for years.
They do have a point.
So why shouldn't these consenting adults be allowed to be married? If you can change 'one man, one woman' to 'any two people,' I don't see why the number can't be changed as well.
Ah, man.
This thing at least is more biblical (if not explicitly Christian normed) than the “gay marriage” crowd. Oh what a curious figurative Pandora’s box has been opened. Multiple marriages were more of an Old Testament norm, and monogamy as we knew it, a New Testament refinement. (Islam is not really a good reference point. It’s a gross distortion in several ways.) Multiple wives would work in a heavily patriarchal society (hey, I thought our modern lefties hated that!) but could easily also lead to unnecessary jealousies.
I’d be more inclined to let the Mormons have their quasi-biblical way as part of the grand American compromise among Judeo-Christian adherents. And there are a number of Jews who would secretly like to jump on that bandwagon. This is a question of an explicitly Christian refinement versus leaving something that is fundamentally wicked in all ages. Sometimes for Christians to claim less may mean for them to influence more, since their manner of life, no longer always mandatory, will have a chance to shine as special.
Putting on my future speculative glasses, I think the demand for “gay marriage” could greatly diminish, if not disappear, in the face of a gospel revival. All pretense aside, “gay” is pretty miserable, and the forgiving, renewing grace of Christ is the only thing that can completely cut the Gordian knot of the shame dilemma such a person finds herself or himself in.
The slippery slope has begun. I always wondered what would follow gay marriage.
Wives. Now available in stereo!
( not sure this is a selling feature )
For your interest.
Sorry. After 36 years of marriage.....I just don’t see a man being polygamous. Unless he is also masochistic.
TAX ‘EM!
Tax the polygamist wives for the abandonment of their male relatives. The social burden of abandoned sons, brothers & uncles, their stolen assets has a high cost.
TAX THE WIVES!
The whole thing goes against the Word. It continues to affirm Romans 1.
They said the closed communities where polygamy is practiced can be rife with welfare fraud and child abuse, sexual abuse and forced labor.
If people do not want their kids to be queers they need to teach them to work, call it forced labor if you please but where people work there is very little welfare fraud.
Children working is not abuse.
If the argument against polygamy was firmly supported by Gods word there would be no need to add forced labor, Child abuse, welfare fraud, sexual abuse.
I am not pro polygamy, but will not support any liars club.
At least Trump is deporting the Muslims, so they can’t join in.
