After many years as a christian I was once attending a christian couples dinner when the subject of polygyny came up.While it was the consensus---esp among the women--that monogamy was the only acceptable christian marriage, even the pastor had to admit that there is no explicit law against it. It could only be inferred. Paul said "Where there is no law, no sin is to be imputed." I answered. I was then showered with cliche answers and false analogies.
So I decided to study bibles on my own. I therein discovered that neither christ nor anything in the OT forbade polygyny. That prompted me to begin to wonder about the veracity of the books themselves. And the more I studied them, their origins, the borrowing from other religions, and how the books were compiled, the less I believed.
Now I am a very happy apostate commited to freeing the world from all religion one person at a time. If you need help leaving christinsanity see the Skeptical Review Online or contact me.
