[Auntie Dem]

Oh, and about Deut 17:17
That prohibition applied to Israel's Kings--not rank-and-file men. Also, what that verse was intended to apply to was marriages of political convenience for political alliances with other countries. Such marriages were common as ways of strengthening tenuous bonds between potential rivals, or avoiding military ot economic conflicts. God did not want his leaders to have their heads turned by wives that worshipped idols or other false gods.

LOL, really? You just condemned your polygamous role models. You have an interesting way of twisting Scripture to suit your theological needs.
