What's wrong with somebody marrying more than one person? Isn't that idea pretty popular in the bible, god's inaction in the face of polygamy seems to be at the very least, a show of tolerance. What's wrong with polygamy. What's wrong with marrying an animal? Who gets hurt?

You make a good point on polygamy. This is one example of a marriage right that was common in many cultures in history and then was taken away. Like I said, I don't personally have a problem with it, although I don't think that a mormon, for example, who marries eight wives and has 20 kids should be eligible for welfare assistance. On the other hand, there are so few polygamists that I don't think the tax burden would be that great outside of Utah.
