Few people understand how much Christianity has done for women. Coming into cultures where women were part of a herd owned by the more powerful men (because polygamy also means that there are some less powerful men who will never have a chance to marry), Christianity freed them essentially by treating them as individuals who had free will, an independent existence, and who deserved to love and be loved individually, as one woman by one man, bringing the beautiful imagery of the Old Testament into these brutal cultures.Thank you for posting this. The writer of the posted piece is either a moron or a marxist. Why would a marxist praise polygamy? Simple. They are enraged at the end of the Soviet Union and are trying everything they know, including supporting muzzies, to bring down western civilization.
That's why the hags & btches of NOW never say a word about the slaughter, mutilation and slavery of muzzie women around the globe.
And that's why the slimey disgusting skank who wrote this piece cares not a whit about the implications that polygamy has for the freedeom and liberty of women everywhere.
That is very true. The other thing is that in Marxism, relationships between people are depersonalized and made utilitarian. Individual love is frowned on, and certainly committment is anathema(because it means there just might be something greater than the all-powerful State). The Marxist goal is barracks of men and women who come together occasionally and randomly for sex, and then go back to the main project in life, which is making life nice for the Party leaders.
But come to think of it, that's true of any cult...
