Happy Polygamy Day!  email this discussion to a friend?

Today, August 19, 2008, is the 8th annual Polygamy Day for all consenting adults who are pro-polygamy!
The following are excerpts from: http://www.pro-polygamy.c...

"Christian polygamists, secular polygamists, Jewish polygamists, Muslim polygamists, and even any Mormon polygamists who oppose underage marriage, all can celebrate this one specific day each year wherever they live."

"Marriage controllers still self-combustively react as "democrats," promoting anti-republican referendum "democracy" in order to infringe individual rights. But they are finding that that very same use of majoritarian "democracy" can and will backfire against them. Mobocratic majorities can just as easily vote against current big government marriage definitions.

Worse - as happened in Maine in June, 2008 - marriage controllers trying to get an anti-homosexual referendum on the ballot are even having to give up. They could not even get enough signatures to get the proposal onto the ballot. That battle is being lost.

Herewith, the polygamy rights WIN-WIN solution obtained momentum to end all marriage politics for all sides. By prohibiting big government from defining marriage either way or another, neither side’s "democrat" majority can ever again infringe consenting-adults' individual right to marry."


So Happy Polygamy Day to everyone who is pro-polygamy! I do think the day will come when the government quits trying to tell consenting adults who they can and can't love.

Thoughts and opinions welcome! I + all thoughtful responses even if you disagree with me as long as you can refrain from being mean and nasty about it!

I said it was fine to disagree. There's just no need to be mean and nasty while you disagree. It's called tact. Also no one is forcing anyone to respond at all.

It is about respect, you are right in that. People should respect that not everyone is meant for a cookie cutter man/woman marriage. Government should have no say in who people choose to love.

I am sorry, but I cannot support polygamy. I believe that marriage should be defined as a union between one man and one woman. Like Barack Obama--who I admire and look up to as a role model (although I don't agree with all of his beliefs)--I believe marriage should be exclusive--a man and a woman.

I believe that is God's Vision for the family. One man for one woman.

And personally, there is no one I would rather have than my beautiful wife!
So I wouldn't even think of it.

And thank you for a positive disagreement! I do have a few questions for you, and they are not meant as an argument, I'm just curious what your opinion would be.

Not everyone believes in your God (or in the same way you do)so should they also be bound by His vision? To me that doesn't seem fair to a huge amount of people.

Allowing others to be in relationships with the people they chose wouldn't force you to also choose that lifestyle, so why do your relationship desires need to apply to everyone? How would you feel if the situation was reversed- if polygamy was the accepted relationship and you only wanted one wife but were not legally allowed to do so?

Just some food for thought...

God is not fair, whatever that means. He is God. That means, in my view, He gets to make the rules.

I would not be very attracted to Him if He were "fair." If He were fair, and I knew He was certain to give me what I truly deserved, I would be in Hell.

So I accept the fact that His ways are beyond my understanding, somewhat exclusive in some ways. He is God. I am not. I don't question Him.

Concerning marriage, He somewhere in Eternity past decided that that was the way it was going to be.

God is Sovereign.

But that still doesn't answer why people who do not believe in Him should follow His visions. If His followers want to stick with His plan, fine, that's their right. But what about everybody else...... why should their lives be governed by a being they don't believe in or worship differently?

Well - happy polygamy day to you too. w00t

Despite what people have said, what goes on behind closed doors is no one's business. If they're not hurting anyone, & being careful about things, keep out of it if you don't like it. As for states that have those strange laws, those strange laws should be tossed out that nearby window, because it is an invasion on privacy, especially if they're not hurting anyone.

At the same time, I don't think it's only dumbocrats that have these controllers trying to get control on trivial things & put privacy-invasive laws on those books.
