It matters now, it matters hist...Polygamy matters. It matters now, it matters historically, it matters in the LDS version of the future, the eternities. To have someone say that it is in the past, or that it is something we won't worry about in the future is the wash away the reality that polygamy underlines everything in the church, from the validity of JS as a prophet, to the schismatic events that caused 1/2 the saints to stay behind rather than cross the plains at great peril to continue this errant practice, to the environment that grew around polygamy to allow events like Mountain Meadows and broken families, and legal action in the late 1800's and the practice that still continues today as a result of that bullshit doctrine. (sorry, run on sentence). That it is still in the canon today, practiced in the eternities according to LDS doctrine (current) and temple ordinances, is offensive. That the issue of redefining a family is still something the church speaks out on with regards to gay marriage but with a voice of hypocrisy. For me, polygamy is the silver bullet that killed the church, killed my faith, killed any concept that JS could have been a real prophet. It's the poison in the water still being served by the church. It's about lying, deceit, - it's about sex!!! And it's a problem that I can't get beyond.
