the decision by the Utah judge will pave the way not only to polygamy, but also to Radical Muslim Shariah law, which allows one man to merry 4 women. I wonder, who sponsored this program and what are the connections of this judge? This is a very unhealthy societal phenomenon

Polygamy Ban Is Unconstitutional, Says Utah Judge
U.S. District Court Judge Clark Waddoups said that polygamy is “religious cohabitation” and it is, thus, unconstitutional to ban it.
The case was brought by the Brown family, stars of the TLC reality show “Sister Wives.” The family was going to be arrested and had to move to Las Vegas. Thus, they filed a lawsuit in 2011 and citied freedom of religion in their claim. Kody, the husband, said that he is “humbled and grateful” for the judge’s ruling.
“It is a moment in which all Utahans should take pride and celebrate not in the name of polygamy but of privacy. So congratulations to the Browns and to the people of Utah on a truly momentous day,” said the plaintiff’s lawyer Jonathan Turley.
The ruling does not make polygamy legal by marriage, but allows people to be in a relationship with multiple people and living together. There will no longer be the threat of arrest for families choosing to live this lifestyle.
There are an estimated 38,000 polygamists living in Utah and nearby Western residencies. Many fundamentalist Mormons still practice polygamy, though the church outlawed it in 1890.

This is disgusting and communism at its best; i.e. degradation of society. Have this judge disbarred.

So you admit religious freedom is only for Christians and not for Mormons?

thousands of years of civilization showed that polygamy is not conducive to a stable society. It creates a whole class of men without mates, genetical material is limited to a few males, it leads to social unrest and to retardation

I have a brother who lives in the Salt Lake City area. I have seen evidence that this life style is still practiced. Example:3 women with a bunch of children shopping. Yeah, you know.

So, Phillip Marsh,
You are aware that Mormons are not Christians?
Good for you. You are on the right track.
By the way, Christianity is not a ‘religion’~~
it is a Faith.
2 Corinthians 5:7
‘We walk by FAITH not by sight.’
Faith leads to Salvation.
