True, look at the Old Testament, concubines, multiple wives. Women sleeping with their dead husbands brother to produce children. Then the whole thing about rape victims marrying their attackers. Good times. I just look at from a cultural perspective rather than something commanded, or rather embraced by God.

Yeah, I always find it hilarious that fundies claim same-sex marriage will lead to polygamy. The biblical patriarchs managed to get to polygamy just fine without same-sex marriage.

Whenever I think of the fundie way of raising girls for a life as wife / helpmeet, I always think of this scene from the movie "Coming to America": (Start @ 7:30) http://youtu.be/Oq51vtEWr6U
