LDS thinks marriage is a man and woman?

Don't they mean a man and women?

It never fails--say anything about Utah and the idiots that think the Church still practices polygamy come out of the woodwork and show their asininity in public forums. Gag!

No, not since 1890, when the LDS changed their rules. Any polygamists now are outside the church, as demonstrated in the new HBO series, "Big Love".

All depends if you're talking about time [LDS say "no" here"], once upon a time [obviously yes, from the original leaders on down], or eternity [another "yes"--something LDS common folk don't want non-LDS common folk to understand].

In other words, LDS believe in past-tense polygamy, future-tense spiritual polygamy. They just frown on present-tense polygamy.

Your attempt to be funny is hardly laughable.

Plural marriage has been outlawed in the church for over 100 years and is an excommunicable offense today. Bring yourself up to date and please let wisdom and knowledge replace your shallow and illfounded attempt at religious humor.

That was stricken by the LDS church in the 1890's. Never in LDS history was there ever over 20% whom approved of plural marriages.

And no, I am not an LDS member. But after having associated with them through work and community for a few decades, I have found them to be honest and hard working Americans with terrific family values.
