Petition to support polygamous marriage (when the system is released).

[Nero]

Wow, I can honestly say I didn't think my thread would garner all the negativity that it has... I thought after seeing how much support the same sex marriage threads had (yes, even though they had their share of bickering...) that maybe the community would be positive towards the idea of trying to help another group out who would enjoy trying to utilize in game features that align with their choices.

I won't give up hoping - that's for sure, but I certainly didn't come here to undermine same sex rights or any of the awful or ugly things I've read here. It makes me feel really crummy actually, to think that something I'm so excited and hopeful for is something people could see as possibly motivated by spite or a sense of petty vengeance.

As soon as a Same-Sex Thread appeared i always said; Then i want polygamic relationships as well. I guess people thought i am joking, but if we go by the countries who actually have it legal compared to same-sex, it is interesting to see that more countries support polygamy than same-sex. On the other hand it is also in more countries forbidden than same-sex marriage is. There are also a good amount of countries which endure both.

It can be indeed a political discussion but it should not. The same way like people say it should not about same-sex marriage. I would support it and would not mind if, neither do i care about same-sex marriage in the Game. But like some people here saying it is straight wrong to have polygamic relationships, but support same-sex is kind of.... hm.. whats the correct word... being a hypocrite?

First thing. Marriage is between 2 people, Male AND Female. Not 2 males or 2 females. Mark 10:6 says “ But from the beginning of creation, God made them Male AND Female. Marriage is something God made! Second thing, 1st Corinthians 7:2 says “But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own WIFE, and each woman is to have her own HUSBAND… See? One spouse. Male for Female and Female for Male. God has ordained it.

Not everyone shares the same religion as you, so get of your high horse there. Some Religions actually support polygamy.

And also:

"On February 14, 1650, the parliament at Nürnberg decreed that, because so many men were killed during the Thirty Years’ War, the churches for the following ten years could not admit any man under the age of 60 into a monastery. Priests and ministers not bound by any monastery were allowed to marry. Lastly, the decree stated that every man was allowed to marry up to ten women. The men were admonished to behave honorably, provide for their wives properly, and prevent animosity among them."
