At least polygamy is Biblical. Homosexual marriage (or homosexual relations for that matter) are not!
Don't try to parody liberalism. It always becomes a "civil rights" issue eventually.
I think his first wife is kinda cute. But besides all that, doesn’t he just come across as an immature goofball? I don’t know how else to describe him.
Yes he does come across as immaure and stupid goofball..
“Animal Marriage. ?” That’s what I’m holding out for. Imagine all the tax deductions. Any idea which dog has the biggest litters?
What should anger us all is the welfare benefits the sister wives and their children rape the taxpayer for
Islam’s “Let’s get Mikey to eat it” lawsuit for multiple wives....

Polygamy is REFERENCED in the Bible, but NEVER condoned.
As the Oak Ridge Boys sing, trying to love two women is like a ball and chain. To which I add, trying to love any more than that is like taking a swim wrapped in anchor chain.
“Polygamy is REFERENCED in the Bible, but NEVER condoned.”
It is only condemned for pastors and then not terribly strongly.
I'm not a Morman, so I can't think of all of the examples of multiple wives in the Bible off the top of my head. The biggest example that comes to mind is Abraham, who had his second son by his second wife in their elder years. His first wife was an Arab, so he gets credit for being the father of the Arab & Jewish peoples.
I don't remember God giving him a hard time about two wives...as a matter of fact I believe he found favor in God's eyes.
Again, when the Bible mentions that something occurred, God is not saying that He approves of that particular activity.
My copy of the Christian Scriptures strongly condemns adultery throughout. The only condoned sexual conduct that I have found in that document is either "single and celebrate" or "married and faithful."

This was ALWAYS the next step after "homosexual" marriage.
“when the Bible mentions that something occurred, God is not saying that He approves”
The opposite is also true, it is not an automatic condemnation.
He did find favor in God’s eyes. As did David, who committed adultery and murder, and so forth. God forgave their sin. He did not condone it.
The Bible shows us the fruit of multiple marriage and describes in savage detail the devastation it brings.
Solomon was lost due to his many wives, who turned his heart from the LORD.
The agonizing fighting between rival women, for example Samuel’s mother and her “sister-wife,” is detailed.
The antagonism between the sons of Jacob, to the point of the favorite of his favorite wife being nearly murdered, then sold into slavery (Joseph) due to the intense jealousy polygamy creates, is shown.
The rivalry between Jacob and Esau is STILL causing WARS in which millions at this point have been KILLED.
God created Adam and Eve. He gave Adam ONE wife. So it is and so it ever should be. That is normative; that is right; that is God’s intention and design.
And in a recent article posted on FR someone who supports queers marrying one another said:
"I think Jesus' commandment that we love our neighbor trumps everything else. We are to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and our neighbor as ourselves. There is no modification to say 'except the neighbor whose lifestyle you disagree with,' " he said.
You can make up whatever you like and find some way to have Scripture agree with your preconception whether it's polygamy or queers marrying. If "not terribly strongly" is a part of your criteria, then you can't complain about the people who rationalize everything from the Armenian genocide to the use of Zyklon B gas on the Jews.
I see you understand the logic of homosexual marriage....it is the destruction of sexual morality. There will be no “right and wrong”, “good and evil” other than what Marx and government forces us to teach our children.
There will be no true Christianity and Judaism allowed.....no freedom of religion and freedom of thought. You will be told what is considered moral determined by perverted, self-indulgent man with no regard to equal rights and dignity to men and women. Mankind will be reduced to animals so that they have no dignity and worth and can be eliminated by the state.
Universal Truths—foundation of Natural Law Theory—and the foundation of the US government will be destroyed under the atheist/pagan/marxist/progressive paradigm.
But that is their intention—to create a one world government where man is god and decides good and evil.
