Re: More Rambling
It isn't polygamy per say that will reduce that. It is getting rid of these isolated communities that make themselves a law onto themselves.
​
I personally don't have any problem with polygamy between consenting adults. However, these "FLDS" compounds seem to have a problem with 'adult' and 'consenting'. They way they are set up , these barely pubescent girls are being used as sex slaves and baby factories.

Re: Why not?
In general, I will agree. It is men that want a polygamous relationship. Women are much more willing to share men (I have no idea why). I do know someone who has to 'husbands' though. I see nothing wrong with that either.

Re: The core of our confusion?
In this particular case, it is more than just 'faith'. It is breaking the law. I mean, with your position, someone can start a faith on breaking a specific law, and quite well get away with it, because it's
'religious freedom'.
