They deal with class actions with many claimants and get past them. Free choice is the best, but again, just where we are all in about the same basic boat. If half the town were of one mindset and the other half of another, it would not take long before those with only the one partner would soon be impoverished by the other bunch. Eugenics is tied to earning power and multiple earners in one group will quickly impoverish the other with less earning power.Greta wrote: (Nested quote removed.)

Personally, I'd not worry and let consenting adults be happy together, whatever the configuration of intimate parties. However, polyamory has a significant legal stumbling block in the case of divorce and distribution of assets. The negotiations can be hell with two people so a group divorce could be a nightmare of complexity.

All analysis of myths are as viable as any other. That are, after all, supposed to stimulate our imagination just as the imagination of the originator was.Jerrygg38 wrote:The way I interpret the Bible and Gospels indicates two different levels of salvation. Isaiah specifies new heavens and a new Earth. This indicates a cosmic reincarnation process where a Jew and those who follow the Jews will be born again upon the physical world of the higher Earth. There they will find a physical Moses and a physical Jesus. When we study the Gospels we find a different level of salvation. Those who have reached a level of spiritual purity over many lifetimes will achieve angelic salvation. This is not individual salvation, it is collective salvation. That means that millions of billions of souls will produce a single angel of God. In the process the self is gone. Paul points out that Christians who are unable to be celibate should marry. This eliminate them from angelic salvation. Then they must align themselves to the Jewish Bible so that their souls become Judanized and thus eligible for the cosmic reincarnation process. In any event this is how I interpret the differences is offers of salvation to the Jew and the Christian. What do you think of this analysis?Greatest I am wrote:Should people marry? It seems that God would forbid it.
Christian scriptures say that in heaven, there is no marriage.
When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. http://biblehub.com/mark/12-25.htm
As above so below, on earth as it is in heaven, indicates that when God returns to reclaim dominion from Satan, marriage will be abolished.
Why then do most religion of the Abrahamic root advocate marriage at all. Especially the polygamy. God does not favor marriage. If no two souls are to marry in heaven, then the law on earth should be that no two people marry.
We should emulate Jesus in all things and remember that as a Jew, he was almost forced by tradition to marry yet never did even though Gnostic Christian scriptures show him as loving Mary Magdalen more than his male disciples. Even kissing her on the (unknown parts). That is why I suggest that Jesus married Mary. Marriage was expected of all Rabbis.
This modern Gnostic Christian thinks marriage is the way to go, with a single mate, be that a mate of the same gender or not. Love is what is important. Not gender. That aside, I think that frees choice should reign in this issue.
Do you think we should abolish marriage and move closer to God’s heavenly law?

Since God is to remain an unknown quantity, all we can know for sure is that all that is said of God is speculative nonsense.
