To: Psalm 144

It should be legal—1. Its Biblical (Solomon had 500 wives)
2. Its Historical (Mormons who founded Utah did it) 3. Native Ameerican did it as well. 4. They are doing in private now—this way the children of the second and third wives will have some legal protection and be recognized. Not everyone will go for this but some will and may find it a lifestyle they enjoy.

It may be Biblical but IMO is far from common sense.

Women, can't live with them, can't live with them...

You obviously have me confused with someone who cares about a freak cult.

Gotta love this "it's Biblical" argument!

First of all, Solomon actually had 700 wives, not "only" 500. And 300 concubines to boot. (So now you're going to advocate concubinage, FTLB? 'Cause ain't that 'Biblical', too?)

The Bible says even more directly that God had Hosea marry Gomer, a flesh trafficker (namely her own flesh). And Gomer cont'd such a "cottage industry" postmarriage. By analogy, I suppose, Forward the Light Brigade, you would then have us believe that just because God directed Hosea to marry a prostitute...one who remained one postmarriage...that if some sect rose up directing its members to marry active (continuing) prostitutes that, "Hey since the Bible sanctions it...it's AOK?" Really?

What else, sexually speaking, is 'Biblical' (defined by what the Bible covers)

The Bible talks about...
...rape in Genesis (Tamar);
...David sleeping with Bathsheba;
...so...due to these precedents does that mean we are to "go thou & do likewise?"

Therefore, are you suggesting that God somehow sanctions prostitution within the marriage bed? I mean, exactly what is your goal in promoting polygamy as "Biblical."

Just because all kinds of sexual sin is in the Bible, doesn't make it sanctioned by God. (Has that ever dawned on you?)
