I agree with you for the most part, but remember that polygamy is currently codified into LDS theology via D&C 132. There remains a possibility that polygamy is indeed something divine but we are too selfish and evil to truly live and understand it. Again, there remains a possibility even if it is a small one. We are in that sticky situation and that is just how it is until some point in time where and if the church ever officially disavows it. Until then, we have to respect that polygamy is a doctrine of the LDS church and members that agree with that doctrine deserve respect. So I wouldn't go around saying "shame on you" and such.Jesef wrote: ↑August 22nd, 2017, 8:01 pm I believe scriptures "justifying" polygamy are just flat out errors. Just like the ones where the (tribal) God "of Israel" commanded them to wipe out men, women, and children of other races/cultures (apparently He wasn't their Creator). Superstitious nonsense and polygamy seems akin to it. Shame on all the polygamists and their spiritual justifications for a barbaric and iniquitous (inequality/unequal) practice. Women are equal to men in every way that is significant, and especially in every eternal way - so no fuzzy one-to-many math or logistics required. The idea that their are more righteous women than men, who make it to celestial glory, thus requiring one man to many women, is preposterous. The God of the Universe and the economy of the Universe is smarter/more-intelligent than that. Just my opinion.
Trust me, I have strong feelings on the matter as well, but we should have charity for one another and where we stand on things at the moment. We all change our opinions and ideas as we learn and grow. Remember where you once were in your journey and what you once believed. We all believed something wrong at some point and every one of us believes something that is wrong right now.
