Can someone educate me as to why polygamy is not sanctioned by Christians or Jews? Lots of biblical heroes had multiple wives...
Sorry if I'm a bit off-topic...I've just never understood this...

I for one am in favor of multiple husbands...
One to dance with
One to fix things
One to talk to
One to shop with
And one for sex ;)

Sorry if I'm a bit off-topic...I've just never understood this... Made up cultural tradition. And the Thumpers react like Pavlov's dogs. Predictable, really.

Lots of biblical heroes had multiple wives... And they all suffered for it. Read Genesis chpt 30, look at the strife. Read 2 Samuel chpt 12, not only was Bath-sheba married, David was too, people forget that. Read the next few chapters, see what children from David's various wives did to each other and to David. Read the end of Ecclesiastes chpt 7 for Solomon's opinion.
None of the "biblical heroes" were blessed by having multiple wives.
