I am a huge fan of the TV show on HBO called "Big Love" and I've always been fascinated by the idea of polygamy. I'm just not sure why it's considered so immoral to have more than one wife. I mean, in the religious world sex outside of marriage is unrighteous, but this is not sex outside of marriage! This is sex very much within marriage!
Obviously there are those horror stories we always hear about young girls being forced to marry old men, but we are not talking about that, I'm talking about consensual adults in a best case scenario, like the family on Big Love. The perfect urban family x3.
Now before you start responding, let me assure you I do know about the verse in 1 Timothy 3 where it talks about deacons being the husband of only one wife. But I can quote you 10 verses where polygamy is practiced for every one verse against it. God's prophet's throughout the old testament were in the practice of having more than one wife.
So if it is in the Bible what is so wrong with it?
