We should practice polygyny for several reasons. One reason is to bring down the socialist system that has taken hold of the world. Christians should take care of their own and every one should be plugged into a family. Especially women. Women need a husband or a father. When there are less single women out there, there is less big government. Sound marriage and family principles work against big government.
We need to work towards building a society in which we don't need nursing homes and social security because we should take care of our own and not rely on the government. We should have a society in which there are no single moms because children need a father. Have you read the statistics for the differences in crimes committed by children of single mothers versus children that have fathers?
We should practice polygyny because family is one of the greatest blessings that God has given us.
Romance came from Rome, hence the name Roman-ce. Romance is deadly to family because it is a form of self idolatry and sets unreasonable standards and leads to divorce. We should practice polygamy because it is anti-romantic and pro-selflessness.

How much you wanna bet that Perry has been trying to convince his wife to partake in a three-way and she shot him down? "But honey, it's good for society and I'm not being selfish for asking, I'm being selfless! Really! It's not for my benefit, let's think of the children!
I think I will like the polygyny, but not for the reasons he wants. And I think that people should rely less on the government, but not by things he wants, just by taking responsibility for your own actions and actually doing things yourself instead of screaming that the government should do something about it.
Now, I got nothing against polygyny in principle, after all, if they like each other enough they should marry. Of course I also think that if we legalize polygyny we should legalize polyandry too just to keep things equal. This guy however, is just a sexist asshat
Wouldn't this work just as well in reverse? Let me collect a few men to take care of me and make sure I lack for nothing? Seems like I'd be doing the government a favor.
With your way, Perry, if the man dies he leaves all those poor women destitute. With my way, if one goes, well, there's still two others...>:D
I certainly have nothing against legalized polygamy (it has to go both ways, asshat). But before we get to that, can we manage to get gay marriage legalized? That's going to be one hell of an easier fight.
Oh come on, admit it, you really think we should practice polygamy because then you would get to bang more than one chick for the rest of your life.
Me? I love my wife and am perfectly happy to just be with her. But then again, I'm not an asshat.
Interestingly, Polygyny is Biblically-condoned.
King David is reported to have had no fewer than 4 wives, and King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. Paul in the new testament only says that deacons of the church should limit themselves to one wife apiece -- every other Christian man is free to marry as many women as he can get his hands on.

christians cant even take care of thier own theyre too busy fighting with each other
Especially women. Women need a husband or a father. When there are less single women out there, there is less big government.
I dont think this has to do with a government it has to do with a chavanist pig that doesnt like equal rights.
the rest is inane babble
There's a lot of bullshit here, but I'll just focus one bit.
Yeah, polygamy Is anti-romance...but "pro-selflessness." Yeah, a system that treats women like possessions for sexual gratification is purely selfless.
I'd like for all the polygamist men in the world to be ganged up on and beaten to death or at least near-death by their multiple wives. That would balance things out a bit.
tracer, it's more than that, it was very common practice of the day. There's a lot more stories you haven't mentioned (Rebecca and Leah etc), not to mention Leviticus and Deuteronomy actually go through the legal aspects of how you're meant to treat all your wives, and that you can't play favourites and how to juggle all the servant girls you have as sex slaves too.
Yes Perry, because single men don't exist and it's every woman's dream to be married off at 13-15 to a 50 yr old with 5 other wives and 25 kids to help cook abnd feed them all - oh and put out because the others are starting to look a bit dowdy after their years of slavery. polygyny rocks! ::rolls eyes::
When there are less single women out there, there is less big government.
Oh, yeah, back in the middle ages, when women were all married off as soon as they came of age, government was a whole lot smaller. (*cough* feudal monarchy *cough*)
Excuse me, did you hear that we women CARRY YOUR BABIES, and that love is UNCONDITIONAL to one person to another?. Please, better hold on your pants.
If women need a husband or a father, why is it that there are more unmarried women than men, that they outlive their husbands AND they don´t remarry as often as men when they become widowers or divorce?. Moreover, why are, more or less, the same number of women and men with slightly more men than women in the world?
Well, actually anthropologist say that polygamy is impossible to put in practice for two reasons:
a)there are roughly the same number of men and women
b)very few men have the resources to keep the number of children and the wives that come around.
So, after all, with polygamy you have to rely in the government, isn´t it?
Look, I have no problem with polygamy. If that's what consenting adults want, they can go right ahead. I have no right to say multiple husbands or wives is wrong (and hey, some people get off on that), but truly, you're just a horny idiot.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
