From Same-Sex Marriage to Polygamy and Polyandry
American Thinker ^ | January 5, 2013 | James M. Arlandson

I keep hearing same-sex marriage (SSM) activists assuring us that no one else will legally redefine the essence of marriage, after they enjoy the privilege of doing so. It's a red herring to distract us from the real issue: redefining it for them alone.

But if we redefine marriage for one group, there's no logical reason to deny other nonconformist advocates their right to do so, especially if they successfully argue their version of marriage on utilitarian grounds -- it benefits or does no harm to society.

I don't know who invented the slippery slope fallacy, but he or she shouldn't be decorated with a medal. Sometimes the slope exists, it really is slippery, and people actually slide down it. In the 1950s, Lucy and Ricky were shown in separate beds. In the late 1960s and early 1970s the Brady Bunch parents shared the same extra-wide king-size bed, but were far apart. Today? No need to describe primetime or daytime TV. The sex drive is powerful, and society has publically slid down that slippery, muddy slope long ago.

Here are two more nonconformist groups clamoring for their share of the marriage mud pie.

First, polygamy.

Islam allows polygamy for men. They can marry up to four women if the men can afford them (Quran 4:3). Of course religious scholars can't deny the clear teaching of the Quran. Allah wills it. So they inform us of the social benefits of polygamy....

Billy Ayers should NEVER have been allowed in education——but he was placed by the same Fabian Socialists who want to collapse our Judeo-Christian culture.

They corrupt the innocent children and destroy their foundational logic with lies and cr*p which destroys not only Logic-—but particularly Virtue. Sex Ed is his baby—with Marxuse and the Cultural Marxists to destroy the innocence of children. Now, insane “parents” are allowing little children to be brainwashed into thinking anal sex is a Right and normal-—the New Normal which ejects hundreds of years of Western Civ-—replaces Christianity with pagan/occult/Marxist ideology that there is no God and Natural Laws. All to erase Common Sense which only comes from the Laws of Nature-—so that our children will be OWS and ACORN idiots who can’t think with a brain-—only with their crotch.

Ayers hates anything that does not cotton to his perversion.

America as devised by our Founders is hated.

Babies in the womb are deplorable.

Young children are to be pulled away from their parents because their minds and souls belong to the government.

I think there is a special place in hell for people like him.

I know there is a place in hell for both Billy and his “wife”—the vile “smash monogamy” one. They both are vile “human” beings.

Pet peeve: Polygamy and polyandry are not gender opposites. The word the author is looking for is polygyny. It’s very simple. Polygyny is exclusively multiple wives, polyandry is exclusively multiple husbands, and polygamy is an umbrella term that encompasses both.

Actually, polygamy would be more humane vs. tossing the first wife out.
__________________________________________

Read Sacred Loneliness or some other book on polygamy and see just how “humane” it really is...

Its unBiblical, its evil, its adultery, its cruelity, its abusive...

and its not decent nor humane...

Oh and the first wife is kicked out...

and the second and third and so on...

their bodies may be there but the guys heart is not with them...

Islam allows polygamy for men.
_____________________________________

so does Mormonism..

but while Islam limits the number of women to 4

Mormonism has no rules on quantity...

the more the merrier...

Just like buying another cow according to Heber C Kimball who had at least 45 extra females and gave his 14 year old daughter to Joey Smith ...

nor age nor whether the woman already has a husband...

Joey Smith had sex with 14 year old Helen and propositioned at least one 12 year old...

and had at least 11 females who already had husbands...

Joey Smith had at least 444 in all...

Brigham young had more than 50...

and if thats not enough Brigham Young said that Joey Smith would give a Mormon male at least 1,000 more when he reached the Mormon after life when he was dead...

Oops

Joey Smith had at least 444 in all...

should have been

Joey Smith had at least 44 in all...

However since he cheated on his wife Emma Hale for about 15 years he could have had about that many..
