Natural Law such as Man is different from Woman and when combined, they produce Babies.

I left out polygamy since it was a detail. Even in religions or cultures that allowed polygamy, it still mean Man and Woman or Women. And even in those cultures/societies/religions it wasn’t the norm. It served the purpose as well of providing husbands for women when many men were killed in battle, became monks or whatever.

Doesn’t hurt my argument aka “the truth” one tad.

So marriage is all about making babies?

I understand and AGREE that homosexuality is not natural - even if such tendencies seem to date back quite far and can even be found in certain animals. I also agree that the Creator commands that a "marriage" before Him is one between a man and a woman and that HE grants His blessings upon them. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the church was charged with the administration. In other religions, similar arrangements were made.

But where is our Government charged with the enforcement of the Natural Law / the Laws of the Christian God / the laws of any other relgions?

Our system of government, and the vast majority of our laws are based on the Judeo-Christian tradition - but our founding principles included the Christian idea of Free Will and that we, as a nation and a people, can not dictate our morals on others. Certain of our "morals" can be found universally (abhorance of murder, theft, etc ...) and were codified - others not. That is what made us great - even if this founding idea has been dilutted over the years! Most Americans still believe that the self evident truths are valid and this tends to make America more powerful than most of the world - even if the vast majority of the people can no longer even think for themselves.

Polygamy more often means polygyny (multiple wives) but in some rarer instances it means polyandry (multiple husbands). In polyandrous marriages, the husbands are most likely brothers. They have one wife in common. If a man can't be a father, at least he can be an uncle. One of the goals in such a union is to limit offspring due to scarcity of resources (land, etc.).
