1) isn’t one nagging wife enough?
2) isn’t one mother-in-law more than enough?
There either IS or ISN’T a standard definition of marriage.
We have entered the zone of NO STANDARD.
Which of the 57 genders is the lyncher?
Polygamy is “crazier.” It creates especially in Western societies numerous conflicts - overall, not a lifestyle for a happy home life.
You marry sisters to solve the mother-in-law problem. LOL
And “gay marriage” does?

When logic becomes the driver for “law”, then Schick will be right. We are on our way there. However, law has since the beginning of the US, been based on morality which in turn is based upon our view of the Scriptures. Recall, God giving certain rights. The God referred to is the biblical God, not an imaginary god, or a Muslim god. Whatever the naysayers would like to harp on, there is no real basis for law without a moral system...and ours has been heretofore, the Bible. Polygamy, homosexuality, beastiality, marrying one’s sister, or one’s child are all prohibited.

Once the one-man, one woman definition of marriage falls, there can be no objective legal standard for marriage ever again.
Because what will be the limiting factor if the definition is tied to “happiness”?
Marrying three woman and two men will make me happy—who are you to interfere?
I want to marry a horse—who are you to say I cannot be happy?
A moral society is a strong society, and that moral strength has been eaten away by design over the last fifty years or so, on purpose.
The Communists(yes, Virginia, they still exist) will tear down the old order, and then, when everyone thinks they are free, they will establish their own new order and dissenters will disappear. Literally.
When do we fight? Who will lead?
Why is everyone silent?
My main takeaway from reading this ridiculous screed is that the author believes that profound moral and psychological issues are resolved by watching politically correct television show fantasies and expressing mocking insults towards whatever the television show stands against.
In other words, he's a liberal.
Your early posts on the topic and your persistence in posting on it, indicate that polygamy is not something that you strongly oppose.
Am I correct in thinking that forbidding polygamy is not a major goal to you?
I want to marry my grill. We've known each other a long time.
Recipe for an explosion in food stamp benefits for the “haves” and increasing numbers of surly angry male “have note”?
We have quite the hypocritical society in which a man who commits to loving and supporting more than one woman is demonized.
But if he calls his women ‘mistresses’ then no one says a word.
Or if a man sleeps around and has babies with multiple women then he’s a hero in the ghetto and neither liberals or conservatives will say a word for fear of being branded a racist.
Or if a man marries and divorces a series of women then that’s okay despite the fact that Scripture will define this man as a polygamist.
Or if it’s Charlie Sheen or Hugh Hefner and they live with multiple women in a somewhat committed relationship then it’s okay because they’re doing so in the name of debauchery and (nudge, nudge, wink, wink!) boys will be boys, right?
As for the comment about living in a ‘creepy rural compound’ I double dog dare anyone to tell Ted Nugent he lives in a creepy rural compound!
To the Christian, the words of Jesus Christ Himself are hardly "obscure."
Matthew 19:4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
From the beginning, God's intent is clear: One man, one woman, for life.
The writer is biblically illiterate, which is not surprising.
Grills and boys should marry each other.
