Nothing illegal with having kids like rabbits. But it is morally wrong without the ability to pay for them.

We should have a license to have children. Can't drive a car without one.

I agree.

But what I can't understand is WHY a dude would want to be married to several women at the same time...as much BS and mouthing as I take from one at a time I sure don't want to hear that same crap in Quadraphonic stereo.

"Where have you been?Who did you see?What did they say?Why wouldn't you answer your phone or text?...we are going to visit my family tonight"...ad nauseum

Most women, I think, feel the same about husbands.

"Did you pick up my prescription? Did you wash my favorite shirt? I want to watch The History Channel tonight.", etc.

LOL.

Guys like me are low maintenance really...A bite to eat every once in awhile,a cold glass of iced tea and the A/C on high in the summer and the heat OFF in the winter(good for sleeping)..a woman that knows how to skin squirrels,fish and an occasional deer,move cattle without getting my dogs hurt.

See,I can get along with ANY woman.

"Executions are not forbidden by the Bible. Murder is. Abortion is murder"

Executions would also be murder, as murder is defined as taking life.

It shouldn't matter what a religious group says. We don't need government telling us who we can marry.

Another good reason to eliminate government welfare. Problem solved.

Actually yes, along with that why is the government telling people who they can marry, so long as it is two adults it is none of their, or our, business.

Yes, by all means, take away the assistance that sme need to survive, by all means ignore the option to simply stop telling other adults who they can marry, ahh yes, the "conservative" mind at work.

No. Not at all. Self defence is not murder. Killing in time of war is not murder. Law enforcement requiring killing of criminals is not murder. Abortion, the killing of innocents, is clearly murder.
