"Really? Could you explain how one man married to one woman can father seven children in one year?
"
What I mean is 7 women and 7 men could have the same amount of children as 7 women and 1 man.
7 monogamous couples. It's not like there is a shortage of men or something. The population of men to women is roughly 1:1. Why should one man have them all???
This leaves a lot of fellows out who turn into the "Lost Boys" problem.
"Presuming a man and two women all believed in the principle of plural marriage
as a religious principle - and voluntarily wished to enter into a marriage contract, why do you find it infuriating that some people would consider it to be a religious freedom?"
Yes. I agree with you on this. But I'm talking about these FLDS sects. I think people wrongly assume that this compound is some sort of recreation of HBO's "Big Love" and that's just not the case. Religion or not,
their version of the lifestyle is
wrong.
