This is a thinker:
Catholic priests are not allowed to marry.
Catholic nuns, when they are ordained, wear a ring as a symbol of their union or "marriage" to God.
There are millions of nuns in the world, "married" to this "man"
Therefore, why are priests, who technically "do God's work on earth" not allowed to marry, when God himself is basically a polygamous, mormonistic sod?

Any real poligomous relationship is rare and should only suit certin people with no duty about it...
Example a guy and two bisexual women who all love each other...
Or a Woman and two bisexual guys...
Funny in all the poligamous systems its always one guy and lots of girls...
And if one of the girls finds a new lover the guy is most upset despite having many girls... ie hypocrite but thats religion for you
Swinging parties make more sense.

Be careful how you talk about God, , What is wrong with polygamy any way, Isn't it better for a man to be married to two women than for him to have one wife and many mistresses outside the home, Isn't polygamy better than the serial mongamy as seen in the West nowadays.
Practically all God''s Prophet even as described in the bible had more than one wife, Abraham for instance, he actually had 3.
To be a good believer you have to live life in full (marry, have children) and at the same time keep your faith in God.
Celibacy is not a virtue, it is a vice.

You said well... "Catholic priests aren't allowed to marry".
celibate, in Vatican terms, doesn't mean "chaste". It means that they can never marry, as many poor nuns have found out.
The popes claim the title "pontifex maximus" this was the same title that the "high priest" of Jupiter claimed in ancient Rome...he had vestal virgins..the papacy has nuns..there are many more similarities....
Here's two ex-nuns' testimonies

God is not polygamous. The papacy isn't Christian; but, anti-christian (opposed to or in place of).
This, forbidding to marry, is only one of many things that show the papacy is anti christian
1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
(1Ti 4:2) Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
(1Ti 4:3) Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
(1Ti 4:4) For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
(1Ti 4:5) For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
abstain from meats...like Lent..another pagan tradition..or fish on Friday

Not exactly. All Christians are called the "Body of Christ". That suggests that we are all one spiritual being. Hence, being married to God, there would really only be one spiritual "spouse". And don't go off on a gay marraige rant now. God created man, male and female. It took two sexes to convey God's image. When a man and woman get married, spiritually they become one. The same happens when you are talking about the "Bride of Christ", which is the church made up of men and women.

Perhaps, when the nuns make the claim of their marriage to a supposed god, they mean something other than the traditional meaning of the word marriage.

To test your own claim, convert to Catholicism if you are not already a Catholic. Then go to a priest and ask if you can marry two women. See what happens.

You think that is a thinker, huh?
The "married" to God is just a sign of devotion. I guess you could call the priests "married" to God as well.

Read the book of Revelation, because it gets worse. God saves 144,000 male virgins to reside with him. God is either gay, or a female.

This is not a "thinker". It is just another bullshit religious question. Take on any religion and you won't be able to make any sense of it....Why? because it's all a bunch of nonsense ...if you ask me...and you DID ask....
