Check the U.S. Supreme Court decision on this. Clearly you don’t know what you are talking about.

It was CLEARLY aimed at Mormons openly practicing polygamy. Christians didn’t want polygamy in the U.S.. That is WHY polygamy is against the law, however Mormons in Utah, wink at that and polygamy is still practiced by many Mormons.

Oh, I agree it was aimed at Mormons openly practicing polygamy. However, I'm looking for something that supports your contention that the U.S. Supreme court ruled that "polygamy is un-Christian".

I believe that the SCOTUS ruling was a LEGAL opinion, not a RELIGIOUS opinion. You seem to believe otherwise. I'm only asking for something official that supports your contention.

Well, I’m a Mormon, I don’t practice plural marriage, I don’t know anyone who does since the practice is illegal as well as prohibited by the Church. You should either withdraw your statement or somebody will successfully sue you into bankruptcy for slander since you can’t prove a word of your accusation.
