#1 Polygamy - the crime that is its own punishment.

#2 Read the Old Testament, and take a look at the polygamous families.

There's the Abraham/Sarah/Hagar triangle; the bitterness between Leah and Rachel, the bitchiness directed at Hannah by Peninah, who knows that their husband loves Hannah more, and so on.

Nowhere does the Bible describe a polygamous family that is harmonious. Indeed, Genesis states that "therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife." The verb "cleaving" in this context means sticking, like two lumps of clay molded into one ball.

Looks like Joseph Smith, Mohammed, and other didn't pay much attention to the details when they wrote their heresies.

#3 Gaia does not like polygamy, so watch it down there around the Krakatoa area.

#4 Ummm AP, Gaea doesn't give a shit about polygamy. you apparently know little about the animal world where polygamy is common.

If Gaea cared there would be no animal polygamy.
