You knew it was coming. Scientific American — which often pushes cultural agendas as much as scientific ideas — has an article informing us that polyamorous people have so much to teach the rest of us about life. From “The New Sexual Revolution: Polyamory May Be Good For You“ One thing that seems to unite the polyamorous community is a real enthusiasm for digging into emotions. Honesty, openness and communication are cornerstones for polyamorous relationships, Holmes has found. “They’re talking a lot, they’re negotiating a lot, they’re bringing their feelings to the table a lot,” he said.

Do it for the ah...er.. children.
A quote from the article: There is an agenda here. Let the normalization begin!
One of my former professors at the University of Alaska Fairbanks used to talk about polyamory all the time. This was back in 2004.
It reminds of an apophrycal joke about Reagan and Gorbachev. Reagan asked Gorbachev, “What’s the difference between a Communist and a scientist?”
Gorbachev said he didn’t know.
Reagan answered, “A scientist would have tried it out on rats first.”
And so it is with polyamory, and whatever idea comes into the pretty little heads of the intellectual elites. When it’s a disaster, it’ll the fault of someone else who just didn’t under the brilliance of the idea.
This was always going to be the next stop on the gay marriage express. End of the line is the abolition of marriage altogether.
After all, it’s “unfair” to limit marriage to only 2 people!/sarc
Seriously speaking, I find it hypocritical of leftists and alleged “conservatives” who think marriage isn’t only 1 man and 1 woman to have any problems with polyamorous and incestuous relationship. Once mankind reject’s Christ’s clear teachings in Matthew 19:4-6, anything goes.
Satan’s plan is moving forward.
Exactly. And to replace the natural family with the “all-powerful, benevolent” state.
We’ve ‘normalized’ homosexuality, ‘co-habitation’ (formally fornication), divorce, cursing, hatred and misogyny (as rap ‘music’) and just about every other form of sexual perversion known to humans so why not polyamory? Hey, it’s 2013! Get with it, America!
does polyamory include pedophilia and incest?
knew this was coming
the slippery slope, the overton window is real
I suppose it could. Although, I think the left tries to limit it(so far, anyway) to “consenting adults”. Remember a few months ago when Hollywood director Nick Cassavates supported incestuous relationships using the same argument that the pro-”same sex marriage” crowd uses? He was just being consistent with the ultimate conclusions of where the liberal arguments ultimately lead to.
Marriage defined as one man and one woman is an artifact of Catholicism. Now that we are hastening to build a post Christian world, it will be discarded.
The world has gone Bat-$#!T crazy, Nachum!
At this point I'm just sad that so many of these people fall for the lies.
It may be the only way the ugly libtard women can be included in the cycle of life.
“consenting adults”... in Hollyweird the child stars have usually slept their way to the top
We live in the age of deception.
Once you’re okay with killing babies everything else is easy.
Begins? Big Love was on HBO in 2006 and Sister Wives on TLC in 2010. It “began” before Zero.
“They’re talking a lot, they’re negotiating a lot, they’re bringing their feelings to the table a lot,”
Sounds like a lot of whining goes on..
I think SHOWTIME had a series about Polyamory too
How many wives did Solomon have?
Sad but true. Guess it makes God’s choice a little bit easier.
I suspect that we’re talking Equality here, where husbands and wives have Equal Opportunity?
I’m fairly certain that concept predates Catholicism.
Sad but true. The Corey Feldman story is a perfect example.
We use to say, "There's no Nookie like Nanookie!"
Incidentally, “Scientific American” was run by commies, the Piel family. Maybe it still is.
polyamory is apparently a “cleaned up” version of male and female bi-sexual sluttiness
The human condition affords so few pleasures however I can live without sex, but why if you are healthy and capable?
Beastiality in the wings.
Perhaps it is worth noting that sin has been normal for a very long time, but some of us still find grace to struggle against this normality and raise objection to when someone tries to assert that their favorite sin is, contrary to fact, a moral good.
Adultery is already very common and not illegal.
It seems like every ten years or so they make a push for this. People are dumb enough to try it then find out the consequences later.
If its the will of allah then petro dollars have found their way into the pockets of the editors and owners of scientific american. Every one wants to schill for allah when the price is right.
Indeed.

“The New Sexual Revolution: Polyamory May Be Good For You“
Monogamous relationships provide an environment within which the very slow developing human child can survive to adulthood. Look to the hip hop culture to validate this by showing the necessary outcome a culture that abandons heterosexual monogamy. Polyamory appears from time to time in history only to be abandoned. You might recall that Margaret Mead described what she wanted to find and not what she actually saw.
As my good friends Mom told him when he was becoming a young man, “Darling, there’s nothing so overrated as sex, and nothing so underrated as taking a good sh*t.”
Old Irish wisdom.
> Begins?...
Yes it was normal in probably all cultures and societies and still is, officially, in a few, and unofficially in many.
“Marriage defined as one man and one woman is an artifact of Catholicism”
Al the people before Christ’s time would be surprised to hear that Catholics invented marriage!!
Clearing the way for sharia.
Better lock up your livestock.
While I probably can't find the reference, I have read that it is the only religion that has been monogamous for its whole history.

A lot of us Protestants are also surprised that it is a catholic only thing. You mean I’ve wa steed the last 27 years being faithful to the man I married? /s
Yes, do it for the litters of children.
Legalizing polyamory would make it state-sanctioned adultery.
The Duggars didn’t need more than one wife to have 20 kids.
“The human condition affords so few pleasures however I can live without sex, but why if you are healthy and capable? “
Sex is wonderful, but it is much better when you actually are in love with someone. Honestly, everything is pretty empty if there isn’t something more than personal ‘pleasure’ involved. Hedonism is a pretty empty pursuit, ultimately. I think this is just a variation of ‘Man does not live by bread alone’.
