The position that the Mormons have is that polygamy is wrong because it is against the law. Not that it is a sin in they eyes of God.

They would say that it was God's will for the early Mormon Church to practice polygamy.

So they think it is wrong but they still defend it.

CC, if I am wrong, please correct me!

You are not wrong. Go to this site Mormon Apologetics Discussion Board and read for yourself what LDS members believe about polygamy. They believe it is a heavenly plan, and that righteous LDS members will be living the law of polygamy or "Celestial" marraige in the afterlife.

As one Freeper put it, it is mormonism's idea of 72 virgins.

I can't because I don't know if they're coming or going.

Elsie has posted some passages from the Mormon's Scripture that clearly state that polygamy is prohibited and wrong. The LDS leadership says it's wrong. I don't know how they can justify it. It's more than I can wrap my mind around.
