The comments are something else.

[Olog-hai]

Wow, how disingenuous to frame Paul’s instruction in such a false manner. Never mind not point out the curses that came upon Israel for its polygyny.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Yeah. Just what America needs. A bunch of freeloading clowns pumping out their spawn for the taxpayers to support and raise for them. Morons.

[LukeL]

God allowed polygamy, he never approved of it. It didn’t work out too well for Abraham, David, or Solomon.

[lurk]

Compared to all of the other vileness we’re into, polygamy is rather benign and old fashioned.

[ViLaLuz]

Abraham did not have multiple wives, either. Hagar was a mistress, not a wife, and he didn’t marry Keturah until after Sarah died.

[sasportas]

Polygamy, eh? The libertarians are at it again. They are running amuck on FR these days.

[Viking2002]

I’ve found one wife at a time is quite sufficient, thank you very much.

[ClearBlueSky]

Oh, what the hell. Lets save a lot of time and trouble and just decriminalize everything any human being ever did or wants to do! UTOPIA!

[Tennessee Nana]

Abraham was a friend of God, all while having many wives.

Typical filthy Mormon lie...

Abraham was not a polygamist...

Just waiting for the first court case. How will the courts say no, if they’ve already allowed homosexual marriage?

[Psalm 144]

This could make family even more fun than it is.

[vaudine]

The patriarchs practiced polygamy and Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

Back to the future! Cheers everyone.

And so it begins...

[datura]

Who can afford more than one wife? Really??? Much less the cost of a multiple party divorce!

There are women who actually allow their men to have more than one wife??? (They’ve never met mine...)

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

How to totally destroy this “letter” and its arguments:

1.) The OT shows the heartache that Abraham, Jacob, David and others experienced from polygamy, and the OT shows explicitely how it was polygamy itself, not just the normal marital problems experienced by all, that caused trouble for these men.

2.) Jesus Christ said in Matthew “A man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife [not wives] and the TWO shall become ONE flesh.”

Jesus Christ outlawed polygamy by his word. If people wish to willingly disobey then if they desire hellfire, then they can have at it, I guess....

Now, if a man gives his life to Christ, and say was a Muslim before accepting Christ, divorce may not be an option, as God said He hates divorce.

Genetically speaking polygamy is like peeing in your own gene pool.

Great if you are looking for a long term inbred population, cause that's what happens. Would explain some of LBJ's great society's problems too.

Nothing wrong with it...nah...nothing...

[Lazamataz]

I am coming to peace with the rapid and impending destruction of America.

We should be destroyed. We aren't a nation worth saving.
