Quote:On the other hand, polygamy is very common among the Christia sects like Mormons.
Not that I am defending Mormons or anything, but I just feel I should correct misinformation when I see it. I used to be Mormon, and they *officially* do not believe in nor practice polygamy any longer. A long time ago they did, very widely and very hugely (some men were known to have 70 or more wives at one time, very sick). But for at least the last 30 or more years, they have officially denounced it and it is not longer condoned by the Mormon church.
There are some Mormons who do practice it anyway, but it would be a very small percentage.
Quote:"Why one has to buy a cow (marry), when he is only interested in drinking milk (sex)."
I've heard that as, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free." Referring to how easy it is to get a girlfriend or boyfriend these days, and nobody thinks anything of breaking up, there is no legal or moral responsibility connected to such relationships. It's sad, isn't it?
