simple, the wholesale destruction of the nuclear family unit, the Marxists' main aim.

One’s plenty to cope with. Any guy daring to take on multiple wives deserves what he gets. (?)

Unless you marry sisters you get multiple Mother-in-laws. There’s the stumbling block for me. LOL

Polygamy is the sideshow, the real feature is lowering age of consent, as of course, the gays want at our children. So while news outlets are peppered with polygamy stories, the gays are storming the state legislatures to lower the age of consent.

Indeed. However, “The only men who become gods, or even sons of gods, are men who enter into polygamy.” Attributed to Bringham Young, Journal of Discourses. Vol 11 page 269. Consider THAT before you decide. (Oh heck. I didn’t want to stir up the anti-LDS contingent. I’m just having a little fun is all. Lord protect us all and keep us off their mailing list!). Smile smile. Humor is the best medicine, It may even cure obamacare.

Someone one asked me what I think about “gay marriage”. I asked her to define “marriage” before I answered. She replied “it’s when two people...” And I cut her off and asked: why only two? <>
I find if you don’t accept their premise, and keep answering their questions with questions, they’re quickly reduced to blithering idiots.

That was quite the nasty little post against the Christians at FR, that you don’t approve of.

I would support polygamy before I would support gay “marriage”. Polygamy has a long history in our culture while gay “marriage” never has.

The Lawrence vs. Texas decision was akin to lubing up the slippery slope with KY.

“I would support polygamy before I would support gay “marriage”. Polygamy has a long history in our culture while gay “marriage” never has.”

You can make a better case for polygamy using the Bible than you can divorce. You can’t make a case in any religion for homosexual marriage.

Indeed, as it exposes their absence of a transcendent objective standard which defines marriage. And without which mamal-marriage can be considered valid. And as sodomites, fear the Bible as being that objective standard , thus such have spent inordinate amounts of labor trying to negate and use it, as examined here .

The late Walter Wink exampled such most speciously.

Then there is the poem if you don't mind:

 

Freedom not Sodom!


There's freedom in America, the land of the red white and blue;

but there still must be laws, things you just can't do.


You can't marry your sister, your brother, or the family pet;

a sheep, or a goat - at least not yet!


That how is it with homosexuality, what the Bible calls sodomy;

men lying with men as with women, is perversity!


That they're not designed that way, tis easy to perceive,

but yielding to sinful desires, man is soon deceived.


A moral wrong is not a civil right; like the sin itself, that's confusion;

calling evil good and exchanging light for darkness, is sure delusion!


History tells us where this will lead, from societies now in dust,

When a nation casts off the laws of God, and follows it's own lusts.


Promoting a sin which sends one to Hell from an early grave,

dishonors God and robs man of the Life He gave.


There's but one answer: the Risen Jesus gave Himself for our sins;

Repent and believe, then truly follow Him!

What was Mark Twain’s response to Mormon polygamists? “A man cannot have more than one master.”

If my Wife wants another Wife... I wouldn’t say no...

Love my Wife, get along better with my In-laws than my Parents. I’m an anomaly... May as well make it a trend.

Ha! Mark twain also said that the Mormon men who married the “ poor, ungainly, and pathetically homely creatures” he claimed to have seen in Salt Lake City deserved praise not censure, see http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080129225247AAIlkFQ. Of course he was a humorist and such a comment was probably seen as unacceptable even In his day except only as his effort at sharing a humorous slant on things perhaps.

Well said on your blog, which i responded to there. Thank God for His grace to reprove what is becoming the United States of Sodom.

Polygamy is preferable to homosexual “marriage”. They make it sound like polygamy is the beast and homosexuality is the lesser.
