In the Bible God condemns those who commit the sins of polygamy…

Where exactly do we find that condemnation?

Its high time the authority of "Federal Judges" and their ability to dictate and nullify laws voted on and passed by the legislatures and citizens of the STATES be examined.

There's lots of work to do, to undo the tyranny of the "Federal Judiciary".

Just gots to "keep the pimp hand strong".

I'm all for polygamy if that means some gals supporting me when I'm old and crotchety.

Once society accepted serial monogamy, it lost the moral high ground to stop everything else.

Actually, serial polygamy (i.e., having a succession of spouses - one at a time) is already accepted in every State of the Union.

I can't imagine what you mean by "serial monogamy."

Regards,

>>>Polygamy is more Natural than Same Sex marriage.<<<

Bingo. I don’t give a flying hug about polygamy. Let them have it if they want. They are pedophiles who make me worry.

Yeah, there’s still the eugenics thing about incestuous marriages. Do you really want to be the poor slob of an attorney making that argument in an American courtroom in 2014? No. No, you do not.

Particularly since any eugenics argument against allowing incestuous coupling would also apply against allowing long-term welfare recipients to breed.

Any man who decides to have more than one wife, is INSANE.

Any man who decides to have A wife is almost there, too!

Why not? I will accept polygamy, gay “marriage”, and all other redefinitions of marriage beyond one man and one woman to exactly the same extent. Zero.

They must then accept polygamy, then pediohilia...there is nothing stopping this trend.

Why not? You get more benefits from the government. It’s a more efficient use of resources.

Google the term “serial monogamy “ . It’s acceptance is why we’ll soon see marriages between a man and a colony of gerbils sanctioned by the government.

I must inform you.....the ‘death knell’ for America has already been rung.

I believe you are correct now. We passed several forks in the road since America rejected one man and one woman for life as the accepted standard for marriage.
