Response to 'Holy Matrimony'

I disagree with Deserah Alvarez's  argument on the wife to man ratio in her blog Holy Matrimony.  Polygamy occurs in many different religions, so to say, "When the constitution was written it was based on Christian morals and if it is not going to be rewritten and completely changed I think Americans should quit trying to find loop holes in the wording to make the unfamiliar acceptable" puts down every other religion that is practiced in America.  If polygamy is a religious practice (as it has been practiced in buddhism, hinduism and yes even in christianity) then let it be practiced.  That does not mean that everyone needs to practice polygamy.  If you look in the Old Testament, there are numerous accounts of polygamy.  Why was there polygamy in the Bible?  In Genesis 1:28 "And God blessed them saying, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth'" Man was instructed to reproduce, polygamy helped man do so. 

I think that as Americans we should take a look at ourselves.  However, we should learn to be more open minded and accepting of other religions, cultures and languages.  We should remember that not everyone is of one religion, race or origin.  We are all distinct and have different backgrounds.  Even though the founding fathers were Christians and they wrote the Constitution with a Christian heart, it is only the foundation for our country.  It is our duty to build on that foundation so that we can thrive and advance.  Each building block is important and vital for the next building block.
