I was watching some news show the other day and they showed a very wealthy "family" that consisted of a man, about 8 or 9 "wives" and 30+ kids. He was a very successful business man (didn't show his face because he did not want to be discriminated against) and provided for the family. The house looked like a very upscale resort. The dining table sat about 25 or 30.
Anyway, my question is, do you think these types of marriages should be legal as well? Why or why not?

Objectively, yes. As with gay marriages they aren't harming anybody, I assumed it all was consensual, and hell he's providing for these families big time. I can't think of any non-religious objections to this. Since laws don't have to be influenced by religion, I can see this becoming legal one day waaaaaay down the line.
Personally, no. I'm in favor of monogamous relationships. I want my own man. Though I'm not much of a practicing Christian, I do believe that polygamy is wrong.
ETA: No I wasn't making any since. I meant, I hope I'm making SENSE.
