Polygamy
#14169863 - 03/23/11 12:53 PM (12 years, 10 months ago) |
|
|
So for a class I am reading about mormon polygamy and they claim that polygamy is the celestial rule of God and that when mankind practices polygamy, it will eradicate all social evils, elevate all mankind, and is for the benefit of the entire world.
So if I tell my girlfriend I'm gonna start banging other chicks for the benefit of all mankind do you think she'll be okay with that?
I'm not saying that there is anything inherently "wrong" about polygamy, just that this justification is a bit crazy.

it's also in Islām
----------------------------------- al-Qur’ān القرآن
Surah (4:127) Al-Nisa سورة النساء,
“marry such women as seem good to you, or two and three and four; but if you fear that you will not do justice between them, then marry only one or what your right hands possess: this is more proper that you may not deviate from the right course” (4:3)
Polygyny
“Allāh الله سبحانه وتعالى chooses who we love. الله Puts it in our Soul. Love is in the Soul. All our Souls are a part of a type of “Constellation”. One star cannot count as a Constellation. Each of us have multiple Soul-Mates to make up this “Constellation”. Some people Die alone. It can take up to a lifetime to find even just one of your Soul-Mates within your “Constellation”, let alone three or four. the world is vast, we are far apart."

im lonely i wouldnt mind having "Sister-wives" but i just dont think it would work it makes sense becus a man can give everything to a woman EXCEPT for the feminine, nurturing care that only a female can offer but Jealousy in the end is just such a tenacious factor

From the books I read in anthropology about polygamist families it seemed like jealousy was the best part for the man - all his wives just kept trying to dish out more pleasure than the other
Of course this was in Iraq, so they were subservient as fuck.

Why is there anything crazy about what they are saying if you consider that humans are one of the only species that is actually monogamous?

I like how you conveniently left out of your quote how I said "one of the only species", would it have been better if I said vast majority?
As far as you saying it's not too rare of a trait, I believe you are taking what you think I didn't say to the next level and making it seem like monogamy in the animal kingdom is common, which infact it is not.

They get depressed when they lose their partners, and it's rare for them to ever acquire a new one--in fact, if I remember correctly, they've never been known to acquire more than one partner in a lifetime

Here's some interesting information:
Monogamous pairing in animals - Wikipedia
Quote:
The amount of social monogamy in animals varies across taxa, with over 90 percent of birds engaging in social monogamy but only 7 percent of mammals engaging in social monogamy.

I think OP was talking about sexual monogamy, well at least that is what I was referring to. I doubt a bird would have as much of a problem if its "social companion was out tweeting another bird as would OP's girlfriend if he was with someone else.

I don't think that article made a distinction between social monogamy and sexual monogamy (i.e. I think those terms mean the same thing in this article, because I don't see anything stating otherwise).

Hmmm, quite the irony, I was apologetic about not noticing something you had quoted about me and now we run into this.... do you not see where you quoted about social monogamy?? It only mentions the word social like 3 times in one sentence.

Yes, that's what I was saying--the article makes no distinction between the two concepts, so I'm assuming they're the same thing (at least in the article).

You're right, in the article I don't think there is the distinction, I guess I was just assuming a difference between the two. Either way, OP, yes your girl would be pissed if you slammed her best friend, but no polygamy is not that crazy of a concept.

I am not talking about the commonality of monogamy or polygamy at all, i dont get where you got that from. I'm talking about the mormon justification for polygamy, which includes the fact that they believe (at least Brigham Young did) that women should be completely subordinate to men (in the name of the Lord of course)

Polygamy in a lot of ways would make the world better. Polygamy is what weve been used to for thousands of years, monogamy in humans really only popped up around the time of agriculture. Agriculture breeds the need of property. We fought for land and more importantly women. women became property. marriage was a peace treaty.
for thousands of years weve been at odds with our nature. Why do you think people cheat? Even psychologist try to make it more complicated than it obviously is.
I personally prefer serial monogamy. Im not about to trap myself in a relationship that will more than likely go sour so Id rather enjoy it while its full of love and move the fuck on after it peaks.

i get what u mean having it shoved in my face all growing up the pressure from my family luckily my father is not a religious man he helped keep a balance
i tried to practice again recently when i was 1st getting off oxy/h to keep up with wuḍū & Ṣalāt etc...
it really did manage to help keep my mind off the drugs but naturally i fell out of it again 
my background is ṣūfī i still very much enjoy the whirling, chanting Dhikr & Muraqaba, which is the ṣūfī word for meditation 
whirling

Apparently I'm Jewish...
Haven't done many Jewish thangs...
I always got to celebrate hanukkah and christmas every year though,  since my dad is (a non believing) christian and my mom is Jewish
