Shouldnt it be in the Religion Forum ???
Ping for later
Polygamy is a marriage that includes a man and more than one wife. Polyandry is a marriage in that includes a wife and more than one husband.

I was somewhat disappointed in the clips of the show that I saw. He does explain that polygamy is not officially countenanced by the LDS today, but he did not do a very good job of explaining why they allowed it in the first place, nor the reasoning behind stopping the practice.
Beck can save his efforts. Ryan has my vote sewn up.
Mormonism has enough fantasies, from God being married to blacks being excluded from the priesthood that is not even part of the NT church, that men like Beck can only engage in damage control when exposed.
It owes what virtue it has to the Bible, which the LDS exalts its own writings and authority over.
Oh good God Almighty.
This piece is so full of distortions on the history of mormonism I am howling with laughter.
But hey, Beck marches to the mormon godS drum, not a surprise.
The real question is should he be exposing mormonism before the election.
And when those of us who know mormonism and said Romney is mormonism that’s who he is, will they finally get it.
But it's the theology that's central and that's where orthodoxy and Mormonism part ways.
does polygamy appear only in the Old Testament, or in the New Testament as well?
A lot of dishonest balderdash in what beck said.
Did he mention how the Mormons would vote in unison for anyone the ‘Prophet’ said to vote for, and their neighbors drove them out for that?
And the “Mormon War” in Missouri killed...22 people. Not exactly enough to cause a need for polygamy.
Back when I used to listen to Beck, he would go into one of his defensive, yelling tirades if a caller was less than complimentary of Mormonism; inevitably he would hang up on the person. So, what.....does he expect everyone is going to love it now?
I see he left out the part about God literally impregnating Mary.....wonder why?
Poor Glenn.
Has he counted the NUMBER of times that MORMONism claims this?
#1 was about 2012 years ago...
#2 was about 180 years ago...
and, #3, will be when He returns yet again.
Too bad that MORMONism's #2 does NOT line up with the BIBLE's #2!!!
Romney could have 50 wives and pray to a hand puppet, and I would still vote against that filthy muslim-lying-corupt-country wrecking-white hating Black bastard son of a communist whore.
Obama must go....
“belief in Jesus”
The real question at hand is “What is your own personal relationship with Jesus?”
Perhaps we will hear soon of Governor Romney’s testimony of his personal relationship with Jesus. I don’t think he has been asked that question or for that matter Glen Beck either.
We are electing a President not a Messiah like the Dems thought in 2008. I will take the Mormon over the Muslim anyday!
And yet,as late as 1976, during the US Bicententiniel, there were an estimated TEN THOUSAND mormons in Utah still practicing Polygamy.
HMMmm...
Isn't this the same thing that MITT says?
I personally couldn’t care less if he believed in purple monsters from Venus. The fact that he has some faith in a higher power, something other than a self-centered belief such as atheists have, is fine by me.
What I dont get or approve of is Mormons, which have a history and beliefs far more like Islam, trying to claim they are Christian when they do not believe in Christ.
