It’s either Gods way or the degenerate way.

Which god? Allah?

Allah is cool with polygamy afaik

Christian God

Polygamy has worked in thousands of societies for thousands of years. Plus most of the Old Testament patriarchs had multiple wives.

God didn't seem to mind then.

Where in the bible does it say not to have multiple wives?

And to think, I just got lectured for this 2½ hours ago...

Wasn’t intended to be that way and Jesus said it happened because their hearts were hardened.

I dont think thats the only thing that was hardened lol

God literally ordered Abraham to impregnate his wife's slave.

@Mandatory CarryxD

You cant have multiple wives, noone said you cant sleep with your slaves dude

Fair enough @scaevola

Well I'm just saying, yeah of course promiscuous sex is gonna be bad for people mentally and physically, but if it's just a dude and his wives I dont see those harms happening

@uncephalized no. Sarah, Abraham’s wife, told him to do that.

Oh yeah my bad. Retracted.

Ok.

A bunch of people still had multiple wives though.

And then Sarah got totally pissed at Hagar for getting pregnant

Sarah sounds like a total B

And Hagar? Sounds like a german wrestling name

Lol.

Hagar gave birth to Ishmael

anyway 'Jesus says so' is only convincing to Christians Sal.

@uncephalized exactly

I’m aware that everyone doesn’t agree with the truth.

Lol

And only real well behaved ones at that

Theres a lot of new age lefty Christians out there who might do whatever they want as long as its about "love"

I'm just glad you're self aware enough to laugh at your claim to categorical truth.

Well, they clearly haven’t really read the Bible. It’s not based on feelings

But Christianity is correct though.

Correct as in...?

Always right?

I agree that it clearly has high utility in spawning functional civilizations.

“Now when Jesus had finished these sayings, he went away from Galilee and entered the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there. And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?" He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate." They said to him, "Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?" He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery."”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19:1-9‬ ‭ESV‬‬ https://www.bible.com/bible/59/mat.19.1-9.esv

This is where Jesus clearly states that marriage is between one man and one woman

Actually he doesnt.

...
I, am NOT well behaved. In fact, I've even been to jail AND charged with a felony. Best year of my school career was at the "you're not in the Hall but you're not free either" school (for fighting). I am, however, a pragmatic realist (¿too many fights perhaps?); Convince me that I should accept your interpretation of marriage based solely on scientific principles, @Salacious Swanky Cat.

Nothing in that passage states that a man can have only one wife.
