It is amazing how everyone says that the bible condemns it and so on that is why the prohibits it. well the bible condemns Adultery too, and homosexuality. According to the bible one should be stoned for such a thing.i don't see anyone getting imprisoned for either homosexuality or adultery, so why are the western laws bigotted, theye chooose what to enforce and what not.
By thre way,the west is not christian,The church does not have a say in the running of the countries.They do not follow the laws of the Bible.So why everyone claims this ban is biblical I don't understand. Also Jesus never banned polygamy in the bible,his forefathers were polygamous
