U.S. No Longer A Christian Nation

Quote from bigarrow:

I thought the god of old testament, some his favorite righteous people were polygamist. Been a long damn time so my memory may be wrong.

edit: from a quick google search
If a man has two wives, one loved and the other unloved, and they have borne him children, both the loved and the unloved, and if the firstborn son is of her who is unloved, then it shall be, on the day he bequeaths his possessions to his sons, that he must not bestow firstborn status on the son of the loved wife in preference to the son of the unloved, the true firstborn. But he shall acknowledge the son of the unloved wife as the firstborn by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his. (Deuteronomy 21:15-17)

...
so I guess god made laws for men with two wives, sounds like the go ahead to me. Go Mormons!
Those primitive people sure had a lot of rules. The firstborn son even got a double helping.:(.

I'm sure all the Christian fundamentalist on here does the same with their children, them living by the literal word of bible and all.
 
Quote from bigarrow:

I remember reading a book when I was in high school about an old Chinese farmer who had a concubine, being a small town hick, I was fascinated with the story.

I remember that. Some white lady "Pearl S. Buck" fascinated with Chinese farmer life and how he saved money and became some kind of town lord and then his sons went to war with each other.
 
re: OP. it's because rampant out of control big banks and corporate America , corporate media, etc. are not "American" anymore and rarely pay lip service to Christian culture and values if anything anymore.
