Do you believe that polygamy, slavery, and aggressive military campaigns are morally acceptable? If no, then how do you reconcile this belief with their promotion in the Bible?

There is no sanction to any of these in the Bible. There is no promotion of it either. So get your information correct before posting questions.
What makes it morally acceptable is if it is justifiable. There is no justification for slavery or polygamy in our society today. Is there justifcation for aggresive military campiagns? Maybe. WW2, the American civil war were aggresive military campaigns. So there.

Dear Threshold, what you're asking is if we believe what is in the Old Testament should be practiced today.
The answer is no. Christ fulfilled Mosaic Law and gave us a New Covenant. We live under Grace now, not the Mosaic Law.

Nowhere in the bible is this promoted. Mentioned ? Yes. Promoted ? No.

Threshold, huh? What are you on the threshold of? Ignorance, childish behavior. Is this your example of intellect? Atheists must be scraping the bottom of the barrel to let you represent them.

I dont get it. But I believe in peace if that helps at all. And people should only be married to one person.

No, I do not, and since I am not the author of the Bible, I am not responsible for it's content, nor am I responsible for it's accuracy or lack thereof as the case may be.

they will say that's the part of the Bible that Jesus said we could ignore.
