Why don't you take out section 132 in the D&C?

It's true they don't practice it right now, but it is an eternal principle. A man can be sealed to more than one woman. If his wife dies, he can take another temple worthy LDS woman to temple to be sealed to her.
However if a woman loses her husband, she can't be sealed to another temple worthy LDS man. I know the LDS like to point out the "families forever" part of the section, and like to ignore the plural wife part. They do believe they will practice polygamy in the next life. I was taught that men would have more than one wife in the Celestial Kingdom.
I believe it was Brigham Young who said that if any man wants to be a god in the next life they have to practice polygamy.

Guess you haven't read Section 132 most of it isn't about plural marriage. It's about Celestial Marriage.

You have join the hordes of other anti-believers that enjoy baiting and accusing the LDS Church on things you have little to no knowledge about. Section 132 relates to many important issues other than the doctrine of plurality of wives.
Why don't you read the section and then come back to us after you have comprehended that scripture?

Why not just throw out the entire Book of Abraham? It's complete gibberish and junk, easily debunked, and all the godless smartypants egyptologists don't even mention it anymore.
It's amazing the church stands on a foundation of artificial toothpicks.
