Polygamy is also a way of expanding the population of the religion that practices it, take Islam, for example. When the Muslims invaded new countries they could take many wives from the conquered nations, that way the Muslims would have more children than the native men. It was a way of humiliateing and subjugating the men of the conquered nations and would also increase the number of Muslim children born.
Notice that there are now television shows about polygamy, especially among the Mormons. Maybe some of the Mormon leadership still have an itch to bring back polygamy. The Mormon church is also for amnesty for illegal immigrants, I heard that there are many Mexican Mormons which would also increase their numbers.
Since I puchased a book titled: “The Money and the Power, The Making of Los Vegas and its Hold on America” by Sally Denton and Roger Morris, I was surprised by some of the worldly investments of the Mormon church—Mormon bankers provided the money for the building and expansion of Los Vegas. Sin city and the saints...really? Makes you wonder if Mammon worship isn’t a part of their beliefs.
Do you remember when the California Question 8 ballot question was? The Mormon church took a strong stand against gay *marriage* and no doubt they have been punished serverely as has any person or group that challenges the gay Nazis. The gays know how to use Alinsky tactics to apply pressure to anyone who defies then, I am thinking that they targeted Mormon businesses as they also targeted Chic Fil-a.
There has to be a group of conservatives that will study the Alinsky tactics and counter these aggressive brown shirt methods.
Humiliating and subjugating I concur. Also, raping of the conquered, standard practice for them. Increasing the number or mooslime children? Not so much...they are not born Muslim, they are born human.
I’ve always wondered just how wonderful polygamy (or “plural marriage” in old LDS) would be for a person....
somehow I have my doubts about it...
as if being married to one partner wasn’t enough challenge? or???

Oh it is, the LDS church is a business first by far. And LDS theology is that if you are ‘living the gospel’ (ie being a good faithful Mormon who pays tithing and keeps the Word of Wisdom) you will be financially successful.

LDS apostle Bruce McConkie (and many other LDS leaders) have taught that polygamy WILL be reinstated.
