OK, I'm an Athiest, and this is not a bash on religion. This is something that bothers me about our country- and this post has NOTHING to do with minors. In our Constitution it states:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. "
This, to me says that everyone has a right to believe the way they want, and practice those beliefs without interference. Why then, is polygamy illegal, and if a religious sect believes in it, why are they forbode in practicing it- when it is their belief? This does assume that all are of legal age, as again this question has NOTHING to do with minors. It seams everything is OK for a freedom of religion, as long as it is a certain religion. So where really, is the freedom?
BTW- I'm a monogamist, but I still see wrong here.
