So what. People are basing their lives on lies. Am I wrong to show truth to some people?

Originally posted by pritybettaIm still waiting for the part of the Bible that says men must have one wife. Seems like you are in the habit of making statements you cant backup with some hard evidence.
You are talking about before they were comanded to have one wife. It wasn't untill the NT that they were comanded to have one wife.

And here Jesus reaffirms.
Mr 10:7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
Notice that it says wife.(singular)

I start a thread here saying that the Noah fantasy is rubbish and present evidence of why this is the case and thereby leading to the creation story in the very same chapter being of the same rubbish and the entire Bible as in Jesus life and you idiots cant even discuss it.

the fact that you think noah story leads to jesus' life being rubbish is proof enough you are an illogical idiotic arrogant twit.
Originally posted by ZahlanziNo imagination required. Polygamists are fairly common in some parts of the world (here in SA our former vice president, current head of the leading party and presidential hopeful is a polygamist.)
man has trouble enough living with one wife. imagine if he had two 😀
Though I don't know any socially, I certainly have seen no evidence that polygamists have more marital problems than monogamists.
Originally posted by twhiteheadit was a joke. however i see no reason in most cases why poligamy is better than monogamy.

if a man has two wives he must love them equally or else one is considered inferior to the other wife. also having two wives promotes the image of man's superiority over women because the man receives the love and attention of two women whereas each wife only receives the love of one man and probably one of them is loved less than the other.
poligamy would be relevant only when the female population far outnumbered the male. or if a large number of males would be somehow genetically diseased or sterile. and even then it would be better solved by artificial insemination and then marriage with a man mentioned above(i am talking about a woman choosing the father of her children here)
monogamy is much less complicated and more fair. marriage is in my view not so much as two people breeding(gay marriages are just as much valid as hetero ones) but a contract between two people to share life. of course if a man(woman) could equally love two or more women(men) and the women have nothing against it then no problem.
