16. What is wrong for you may not be wrong for someone else
which is the basic concept when you're trying to figure out why gays "do that stuff" or why any sane person would consent to enter into a plural marriage.

Some Christians blather about hating sin but loving the sinner as an excuse to treat everybody around them like shit. Well, hating the sin means not doing the sin, yourself. You have no control over other people and will only spread resentment if you try to control them. The best you can do is lock up the ones who go out of their way to harm other people so they can't do it again.

I have no objection to plural marriage as long as it's a marriage entered into by adults, not the organized pedophilia that exists in Utah. I object more to serial polygamy, where rich men simply abandon a series of wives and children in favor of new models every few years.

Honestly, it's quite simple. If something feels "wrong" to you, don't do it. Just don't assume that other adults feel the same way about things and don't assume you're wise enough to make their rules for them.
