I'd say polygamy - what kind of crazy SOB would want more than one wife?

Polygamy is illegal in the U.S. Sodomy is legal between two consenting adults. I guess polygamy is worse.

Worse in what sense? And what definition of sodomy?
Forcing another to perform any sexual act is an immoral assault, but voluntary oral or anal intercourse between consenting adults is not immoral, in my view. Society at large has no legal interest in the private bedroom practices of individuals, so it has no justification for interfering.
Some include copulation with an animal among the definitions of sodomy. I don't believe a non-human animal can truly give its informed consent to have sex with a human, so I would consider bestiality immoral.
Polygamy is currently illegal in the United States, but I wouldn't call it immoral unless someone is coerced. Coerced polygamy is a violation of a person's basic liberties, and far too many young women involved in polygamy are apparently coerced into the practice. In a case where there is no coercion, however, and multiple adults freely consent to live in polygamous unions, I see nothing immoral about that. They aren't really hurting others, are they?

Polygamy is way worse.
Two reasons really:
1) I practice sodomy, so it cant be all that bad!!!
2) What kind of crazy SOB wants two or more wives to deal with??? One is plenty. More is just pure masochism!

Jesus bore both of those sins, and it was the same price that was paid for both - as well as all the sins of the whole world - and it was the same blood that was shed to remit sins. Therefore, there no disctinction can be made as to which is worse.
If it absolutely had to be answered, I suppose, then, that the one that would cause a person the most destruction the quickest would be the worst. But, then, how would one quantify that?

Sodomy. Polygamy is permitted (not encouraged, but permitted) according to OT law.

Sodomy is worse. Polygamy is not outlawed in the Bible, but polyandry is, hence the reason that a woman can be an adulterer, but a man can not. But don't worry, the Bible isn't sexist.

Polygamy. The foundation of our present slow drift in the direction of sexual equality was the introduction of normative monogamy. That's the only thing that makes marriage an equal partnership. In polygamy, women are their husband's property.
Sodomy is a particular form of sexuality which has no ramifications outside the bedroom of the people who practice it. Yuck, to be sure, but... not my business.

Sodomy is painful unless you are a master at it, and my husband had a few mistresses which was just as painful. Therefore, they are equal as far as which one is worse.

Sodomy is a pain in the ****, but at least you only get one mother in law.
