My second question is mathmatically, do you think if a man has more than one wife, they could breed more, I mean 1 man 4 wifes, 2 children with each wife = 8 children for 1 men and 3 bachlors with no children, so 1 woman for 1 man and 2 children on average would still make 8 children, something that the educated people in advanced societies have already figured out.

Mormons get messy, they marry/mix sisters step sisters, step moms,uncles ...well the whole mess , Muslims are not like that.
In Islam they are rules to marry more than one, and it's not for everybody.
to the defence of the Mormons, i should say, it's better like that than "the Jerry springer society" where you live : 1 man 8 girlfriends 12 kids all in wellfare.

First off, Bigomy is illegal in the united states, regardless of the religious background of the spouses. To categorize all mormons actions by the actions of a few who happen to be mormon is steriotyping and an unfair judgement of the faith and people of that faith as a whole. The only instances of bigomy I have seen in the news were brought to the media, not because of the number of wives, but because there is a small community of mormons that marry underage girls. To compare all mormons to them or muslims for that matter would be like saying all christians were like David Koresh, or all muslims like Bin Ladin. Your math would be correct if the ratio of men to women was 1 man to every woman. This is not correct, however, because women out number men some 2 to 1. THis is the global ratio. If you look into more regionalized ratio's you will see there are places with extremes. Alaska men outnumber women some 5 to 1. In Australia, women outnumber men more than 4 to 1. The opposite side of your debate would be......Is it fair to force half the women on the planet to not have a partner? In my opinion, everyone should respect the law. In areas where there are no laws on this matter, men should not take up with more wives than they can afford to maintain or are capable of loving and keeping happy. No person should be subjected to thhe situation against their wishes. For those that are happy in these relationships, they should be left alone as long as no one is being harmed or unfairly exploited.

Just like with the Mormons, Muslims are not allowed to have multiple wives in America.

Maybe because Muslims do not form a sect of Christianity unlike Mormons. Muslims are followers of Islam.
Anyways, in Islam it's only an option. I'm not sure abt the law in USA whether it allows polygamy for any religious sect!

Moreover, if a woman has 4 or more husbands, can she breed more or just have more fun and more home improvements, and wealth?
I want to know more about the women with multiple husbands as I am so sick of puking about men with so-called multiple wives.
I don't believe in either, but I'm sick of multiple wives crap being shoved down our throats daily!!!

Practicing Polygamy was abolished early on in the LDS Church's history. The American government made it illegal and as such anyone still practicing it is breaking the law. Muslim, Mormon or seventh-week ninja-bunnyites.

More than one wife is not accepted by most, and is not even legal here in the U.S. whether it's Muslim, Mormon, or anybody else.

Mormons do not practice plural marriage- you are talking about the fundamentalist mormons- totally different and unconnected. If mormons practice polygamy, they would be excommunicated.
