each to there own i think
i think that people who believe that polygamy is a emotionally healthy way to lead their life and raise their children have the right to believe this without being judged or ridiculed.
just because you have your own beliefs does not make instantly others wrong. you can disagree, but if so simply don't lead a life of polygamy yourself. its really that simple in my eyes.
that being said, like any religion or belief, it is important that some general moral standards are in place.
as long as no one is being harmed physically or emotionally, all the people involved are consenting emotionally stable adults that fully understand that there are other options then just what they are being directly exposed too i dont have a problem with it
i do have a problem with children being raised not knowing that they are able to make their own decision and more importantly not being exposed to the alternatives that are out there. a lot of people say they give there children freedom of choice, but for this to be completely true they have to informed about the other options in an unbiased way, which i think would very rarely happen.

A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
