>>> As stated previously, I have no issue with polygamy. It does bring challanges that are not present with couples, but those challenges can be addressed, I'm sure.

>>> I thought you supported the notion that people are the way they are born and society should not deny them based on simply how they were naturally made

>>...no one who chooses to live a sinful, depraved life will ever be content/happy with themselves.
