It's two points, two flats, and a packet of gravel, duh.

P.S. This halibut is good enough for Jehovah.

A word of advice: don't waste your time on the "questions" that are clearly not genuine questions and are only meant to be condecending.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is the logic is that men go to war and women traditionally don't (at least in Arabia), therefore the can be shortage of men at times so multiple women will partner with a single man. Interestingly, if you visit certain Himalayan cultures the opposite is true and women have multiple husbands (polandry). In that case it's because there is a scarcity of good land.

P.S. Wikipedia has an entire article with the following title:
Polygamy in Christianity

You might like to take a look.

Most of these posts don't seem like genuine questions at all. Mostly just loaded questions and making fun of him. 

I don't want to come off annoying like I'm trying to lecture everyone all the time, but I feel like this is a bit of a problem. Isn't it better to discuss things with people who have opposing beliefs and view points? Anyone in his shoes would feel discouraged after coming into a new forum making a genuine attempt at honest discussion, only to be greeted like this.

Do as you will, of course. Just MHO.

"What jesus fails to appreciate is that it is the meek who are the problem."

I agree, Catholic_Lady. It's not as if the OP is a raving lunatic and deserves to be made fun of. They seem like a decent person. They might be wrong but they aren't being overly aggressive or rude.

Very interesting. Though that sounds more like a reason stemming from practicality rather than religion. If for whatever reason there was a shortage of women, would it be morally permissible to have multiple husbands? Hopefully the OP comes back.

You could ask Atlas if the OP doesn't come back. He is very knowledge in such matters (the Quran). And doesn't let the Hadith corrupt him.
