Why is polygamy bad?

I'm one of twenty-three in my family, and my father has six wives, and they all live with us. When I turned 20, my father gave me my frist computer, and now I go to starbucks with it and get on the internet... eversince I've been browsing the web, I hear all sorts of slanderous negativity regarding polygamy. How, exactly, is polygamy a bad thing? I'm really looking forward to getting married several times and having several wives. Did you know that there are over 40 polygamists in the Bible? It was ok then, but why not now? Is it because of the satan-consumed media?

Disregarding religious aspects, it is rarely a good idea. It can work out, like in the case of your family apparntely, but generally if a man has more than one wife, jealousy will abound. If he pays attention to one wife more than the others for example.

To be honest, I don't know...

Probably the way the media is confused about sex and the like.

Polygamy should be legalized in most "1st world" countries and you would only get the benefits of wedlock with one person, this is the way I see it.

It creates inequality in a relationship.

Let's flip this. Why can the man have multiple wives while the wife must share her man? Does your society allow women to be married to multiple men?cd_rom

[QUOTE="th3warr1or"]Because of Feminists. wintermute0

Yes, this is my opinion on the matter as well. I think feminists are largely to blame for the hatred of Polygamy in this country. Women are lower than men, it's obvious: we're stronger, smarter, and better drivers. Feminists need to be rooted out and given a stern talking to; they're all a bunch of naysayers.

I'm a one woman kinda' guy. But if polygamy works for you, have at it.

I have a friend who, to my knowledge, wasn't religious but was ploygamous. She was a nice person. I see nothing wrong with polygamy, it's between those people and I have no right to say anything about it. I see nothing about polygamy that directly effects anyone else.

Actually, that's wrong. Polygamy is not something one does for fun, it's a religious act and treating it like a game or doing it for fun is not apperchiated by our people or our God. Your friend was a blasphemer.

I don't see what is inherently wrong about loving more than one person.

Um, humans are not animals. Do you read the Bible? Maybe you should start. Humans have dominion over the animal kingdom, it says so Bible. If we were animals, then that would mean, according to the Bible, that we have dominion over ourselves, and that doesn't make sense. The Bible is never wrong, which automatically disproves your point.

There are legit problems with it. It changes the entire social order, and may have more implications than that which you or I know of.

[QUOTE="RedruM_I"] :roll: No she is not a blasphemer, she is just following natural instincts of reproduction as the animal she is. We are all animals but some animals among us think they are something else than animals and I feel sorry for them. Stop kidding yourselves.RedruM_I

Actually, what you descibed could actually make sense: humans are animals and humans hold dominion over animals, therefore humans hold dominion over themselves, which means slavery is OK.

Thanks, I never thought of it that way.

I think as long as all parties involved agree to it and can break it off at any time, there's nothing wrong with it.

Doesn't that contradict the NT? And if you are with your wives wouldn't that be a sin since you said if one isn't thinking of God they are a sinner?LJS9502_basic

We're always thinking of God; what are you talking about?

King Solomon says otherwise, and Jesus was cool with him... in spirit.
