I do understand that, but I would only be okay with this if all parties were in agreement. Of course any type of abuse or slavery situations would not be tolerated. Those types of things would still be illegal. I'm not talking about a Warren Jeffs type of situation either. Just people who might have different ideas than what you or I might have, and that doesn't necessarily mean they are disgusting but just that they have different needs and desires.

Good Lord Medusa!!! :confused: This is marriage which is a perfectly legal thing, not murder which is illegal and would remain so even if polygamy was legal.

I would go farther, marriage is a strictly legal thing, morality isn't involved.

I would agree to that, you can pick whatever in this world you want that disgusts you.

frankly I think sushi is disgusting, how anybody can put that parasite ridden filth in their mouth, and turn around and tell me it tastes good I will never ever understand. but I don't seek to make eating sushi illegal. just because it's filthy does it mean that nobody should be allowed to do it.

Of course, you are right. I do find incest disgusting, but that's having sex with your family member. This is just marrying more than one person. These people didn't grow up together in the same house as siblings or family members. They are just people who want to marry more than one person.

Maybe a person can love two people or more at the same time?

Well that also depends upon the people involved. To some people it is very religious and a union in the eyes of God. To others, not so much.

Who is maria magdalena? I've heard of Mary magdalan.

nuns say they are married to Jesus.

Supposed, according to SOME texts, she was a prostitute who Jesus saved. According to others, she was Jesus' girlfriend and Jesus' right-hand girl (so to speak) and played some very important roles, but others wanted to hide that fact, so kind of added in that she was prostitute to ruin her reputation.

I never suggested the incest to be legal. I actually suggested sushi should be illegal.

having multiple spouses isn't a perversion it's actually very common in the US, what with 54 percent divorce rate.

I'm with the man he's the best thing that ever happened to me. you just need to find someone like I have, becoming jaded in giving up is an option. but just because you have given up doesn't give you the right to run down my entire gender. you talking about my husband and our boy.

she could have been a prostitute and Jesus is girlfriend. he gave blindman sight, he forgave people that nailed to a tree. with his dying breath he begged his father to forgive the people that murdered him. loving a former prostitute doesn't seem that big of a stretch.

don't tell me what my post means, it means what I say it means. my post means eating sushi is a perversion.

I know plenty of straight men that don't cheat, you just suck at finding them.

blaming the world for your problems is extremely childish.

I don't claim to know either way. Anyone who does is full of crap.

I do think Jesus could love anyone.

I think that's the Da Vinci code you're thinking of. Mary Magdalene was most likely Jesus's wife who was a leading figure in a suppressed Gnostic sect. But the conflation of Mary Magadalene with the prostitute didn't occur until much later, around the middle ages.

Could be.

sorry I wasn't arguing with you, I'm familiar with the story about Mary magdalan, I think it's pretty cool to think that Jesus may have been married.

Oh, I was just saying so that it was clear that I don't lean one way or the other on that issue because I don't know and I don't think anyone does for sure. Or at least nobody who is alive today.
