I’m going to push back on the criticism of Heinlein for pushing the envelope a bit.

It’s true some of his characters were into nudity and other practices that are not the one-man-one-woman relationships we know to be best.

But did anyone ever read Shakespeare? How about the Bible? All those Old Testament patriarchs had two wives, one of whom was generally their half sister.

FR is a pro-God site. Misquoting the Scriptures to support your own hero's immorality is not a good idea.

Awwww, did you really have to run to the man, GW?

Please read Genesis 20 (KJV) concerning Abraham and Sarah. If you still wish to report this as misquoting the Bible, add me to your abuse list.

I’m not trying to be argumentative, but it’s there for all to see.

That did not happen.

EXCERPT:
Moses had two wives. His Kushite wife was his half-sister, as was Sarah to Abraham. The pattern of Moses’s family is identical to that of the rulers listed in Genesis 4, 5 and 11 and to that of Abraham’s father Terah and Samuel’s father Elkanah. One of the sons of Korah the Younger (Ishar’s son) was named Elkanah. This is the name of the prophet Samuel’s father who also had two wives.
