At this point, we may as well legalize it. At least we might be able to curb the rampant welfare abuse perpetrated by many of these "spiritually married" polygamous unions.
There are lots of Muslims and a subset of Mormons would disagree with you.
I think the father is on the right. Looks kind of butch.
No no no no. 14th amendment will be applied to incest first followed by pedophilia then bestiality. Let’s get out perversions in order.
A liberal then lies to their loved ones, their family, their friends, their business associates, their co-workers, everyone they interact with. The truth is only an alternative reality to a liberal, one reality among many possible. Truth itself is malleable and plastic. What is true in the morning might not be true at noon.
A liberal, in his own mind, cannot commit sin. Every action is excusable, at least after the fact. Thus, they cannot do what God requires of every human in order to have a relationship with Him: because a liberal never committed any sin, he does not have anything to repent of.
Liberals, of all humans, have cut themselves off from God. Now of course God has a plan to deal with liberals, but that is why he gives so many warnings, and why in the end, He promises to shock the world, so as to shock as many liberals as possible into the real world.
No person who declines to fully participate in reality can be granted the free gift of salvation. Such a person could not successfully have eternal life. They would fail in the same way that Lucifer failed.
That is the hard truth of the human condition, and why God is not playing games.
Really well said. Extraordinary, actually. Although I would add that you've described the human condition for everyone - conservatives as well. Once someone had convinced themselves that they, in whatever way or through whatever justification, have moved beyond sin, they become a monster - by definition.
I think the difference between liberals and conservatives is the mechanism they use to absolve themselves. Conservatives beat their breasts and call themselves sinners to escape facing their sins, while liberals refuse to acknowledge the existence of sin at all. So they reverse each other tactically, but their goal is the same.
That's why they work together so well in Washington DC.
Marriage equality for ALL!!!!!
And Lawrence v Texas didn’t mean that gay marriage would be legalized, if I recall correctly.
May we assume this fool also derides the slippery slope argument when libtards are wailing about Republicans banning abortion?
So the left doesn’t really believe in “equality”? Shocker.
RE: “Marriage,” Justice Kennedy writes, responds to the universal fear that a lonely person might call out only to find no one there.”
Polygamy increases the chances that somebody will be there (and not having her period or headache) when the lonely husband calls out at night.
Once society begins its drive down the slippery slope, it's not possible to put the brakes on it. There is abundant historical precedence for polygamy in US history. Plenty. And, just like gay cohabitation, it is being practiced in the US today. Only some wives need to give up some of their legal rights and benefits.
No polygamy is not next. Noe is bestiality. Incest is next, as well as legal recognition of the so-called right to die.
Polygamy isn’t next, you guys. We’ll do pedophilia first before we get around to polygamy. So there!
Don’t you know? If a liberal FEELS it’s logical, then magically it IS! After all, this person must “self-identify” as a logical being, and that’s all that counts!! /SARC

Yep. The feeeeeeelings of a Prog are all that matters, but a baby in a womb isn’t a baby because it has never seen sunlight.
Actually what the Supremes have done is reaffirmed that marriage is not a ‘right’ at all but a privilege as true rights require no license to exercise. The churches have aided and abetted this by going along with licensure thereby allowing the State to set the rules and concepts of marriage. If the State’s beliefs and views were consistent that’s one thing but with popular opinion/consensus now the basis for legal renderings, well, this is what happens.
Since this debate isn’t about gay marriage, but the revolution,(gays are idiots if they think they will be spared once the revolution happens) it doesn’t matter what comes next.
The left will continue to throw crap against the wall and see what sticks.
So, yeah, polygamy won't even be a speed bump in this race to the bottom of the slippery slope.
