I absolutely fail to see what the happiness of two adults has ANYTHING to do with a polygamous relationship.


Let me simply say . . .


Later this year, I turn 62, my spouse turns whatever age she acquires, and we (my spouse and I) turn 40; forty of the most wonderfully memorable and loving years of yesterdays that will only be improved upon with tomorrows.  


To deny ANY two individuals of such an experience, merely because it runs contra to somebody else's belief system, lacks the slightest inkling of human compassion.

  I think the general argument would run something like this:  "if it's OK for any two consenting adults of either gender to marry, then why isn't it OK for any three or more consenting adults of any gender to marry?"

  If that's what he's thinking, I can kind of see his point.  Of course, I'm personally fine with gay marriage, and would have no problems with polygamy either.  I'd be happiest if the government got out of the marriage racket to begin with, frankly.

  Well, if he argued that polygamy and gay marriage are similar, then that is just another fallacious argument. It is like arguing that we can give every adult the right to vote because that would lead to some folks voting more than once. We would be powerless to avoid that!

    It's too bad that the Cultmaster is not a Mormon so that he could have a "new" vision from some alleged God correcting his current views.

      "I argued at length that all the arguments employed to advance same sex marriage can be, are being, and will be used to advance polygamy also. In short, gay marriage greases the skids for polygamy."
