 Christian Polygamy?
I am starting this thread to discuss people's opinions on Christian Polygamy.
I am not asking for people to state if they are or are not polygamists, but I want to know people's opinions on the subject.
Do you agree with a plural spiritual marriage, as long as it is between consenting adults and is not abusive?
If someone had asked me a few years ago, I would have told them that there would be no way that I would "share" my guy. However, I have several friends who are polygamists, and they have really opened my eyes. Personally, I think that there is a huge cultural bias against polygamists, just as there are biases against any religion, sexual orientation, or lifestyle that isn't "mainstream"... sure, there are bad eggs, such as guys who abuse young girls or force people into marriages, but you can find abuse and bad apples in any group of people.
Honestly, I would rather see a guy have 2 spiritual wives and 5 kids that are well cared for, than see a guy with 50 girlfriends/lovers (possibly spreading stds) and 12 kids from all different moms who are now having to scrape by as single mothers or are completely dependant on social assistance because he could care less.
