It's only a problem if you feel you
need "society's" approval for your beliefs no matter what they are. If polygamy is something you've managed to practice in private then who gives a fuck what other people think?
"Society" is not a collaborative conspiracy. It is made up of individuals with practices and beliefs that are as diverse as their individual experiences. For example, if I wanted to sacrifice a chicken ceremoniously in my yard I really wouldn't need your acceptance to feel comfortable with my convictions.
I never understood the appeal of polygamy outside of the novelty of practicing a social taboo. What's the big deal?
A) If it's about
love: It's tough enough to find
one partner who can tolerate me ('till death do us part) let alone 2 or more...
B) If it's about
sex: I got more sex from a variety of partners as a bachelor before I decided to settle down.
