Polygamy was practiced by all Christian religens at one time. It is based on the belief that you are “thy bothers keeper” . If a brother died, it was your duty to take in his wife and children and raise and protect as your own. Of course some people decided to make new rules and not follow the original intent. This is no different than the “new “ interperation of the 14 th Amendment that grants citizenship to children of illegals. It was never the intent to grant citizenship to illegal children , but politicans found a way around it. Just ignor it!!!
Hogwash.
