Polygamy is an entirely seperate issue from homosexuality and pedophilia.

Just for reference, the Bible cites many instances of men having more than one wife. Abraham and Jacob each had two, Solomon had hundreds. Homosexuality, on the other hand, is condemned throughout the Bible, without exception.
Really? How many times do you think homosexuality is actually mentioned in over 37,000 verses in the Bible?

Abraham had only one wife-Sarah. She was his half-sister.
He also had sex with his wife's slavewoman Hagar. He also had childen by his many concubines.

Yet another person who has not read the whole Bible and just parrots what he is told.

Show me this right?

How Biblical. That's almost what YAHWEH commanded his people to do.

Except they were ordered to kill the boy children as well as the adult women who were not virgins, but to keep all the young virgin girls for themselves. (plus YAHWEH demanded his share of the human booty).

As opposed to the Ancient Greek Civilization which lasted over a 1000 years and spread science, the arts, philosophy, sports and of course Democracy throughput the Mediterranean and Europoean regions and is considered the foundation of Western Civilization.

By the way pagan Rome slaughtered Christians in the Coliseum. You know what happened in that place for sport. I would not call that a good society.
See my last post.

Do you get all your historical "information" from religious cable tv or homeschooling?
