Why do people think that polyamory/polygamy is morally acceptable?

[Anonymous]

I think it's not right. Why even be in a relationship if you're going to let other people in?

[Agape93]

Because depending on your morals, it can be. As @SecretsofKB said, morality is by nature subjective. What I find moral, can be seen as not by you.

For example, I find the mass torture and murder if sex offenders to be a very moral action, but most would find that horrifying. Especially since I don't need them to be convicted of it for me to be morally ok with then being part of said purge.

As another example, I find it morally ok to not date someone for having an std. Some may find that prejudicial. See?

[SecretsofKB]

Morals are subjective. There is no set moral code.

If you can make all of your partners happy and treat them the way they deserve, then why is polygamy immoral or bad?

[Finchie40]

Because they are selfish and only really thinking of themselves is how I look at it , so if someone wants to be in that kind of relationship Good luck to them , Because that’s something I wouldn’t tolerate , but for each their own I guess. If a girl can’t stay faithful to me I sure as hell can’t stay faithful to her. She would be a wam Bam thank ya Ma’am , See ya , don’t let the door hit ya in the ass on your way out

Because they're selfish assholes who don't know the meaning of the word "relationship." They're the type of people who say things like "morals are subjective" as an excuse to do whatever they want. I don't respect that kind of behavior in people.

The idea is, that multiple people can love each other kind of like a family loves multiple people, except the "type" of love isn't familial, its romantic. Its morally acceptable because there's no "TRUE" divine rule or law that states that it is not right for a person to love multiple people. In spiritual teachings all over the world (mainly taoism & buddhism etc.) That, all living things are of 1 universal divine consciousness. This divine consciousness can be reached by meditation and entering the state of "Oneness" which provides the experience of not being a separate individual or entity from others. So instead of there being 1 and 1 and 1 people, 3 people form 1 group consciously. Most people who experiences this mental & emotional state of "oneness" or "divine conscious connection" usually dont see a problem with multiple people loving each other. Feelings of jealousy and the NEED to keep someone from loving others is called possessiveness & unless your partner is monogamous also, possessiveness is way more immoral & toxic than simply being a part of love that involves multiple people.

What consenting adults do together in their own bedrooms cannot be immoral in anyway possible.
So it's very obvious that Polygamy is morally acceptable.
The only reason for it been illegal is due to other concerns such as people trying to use to abuse Visa's and other laws like that it has nothing to do with the fact of multiple adults consenting to been together.

Not everyone thinks and feels the same. Not allowing others to live their own lives doesn’t effect them in the slightest. Only the person with these sorts of bitter feelings. Get out there and live. Quit judging others. I would say..

Who gives a shit what someone like you thinks? Especially as you can't tell that polyamory and polygamy are very different things.

Maybe finish school first, before developing your laughable opinions, kiddo.

[Agagagagaga]

Maybe because a / means “either/or” dipshit. Or are Brits not advanced enough for that? Kiddo.

[Blackcosmo]

As long as everyone's happy and fine with it, then it's perfectly fine. Immoral is when something is unfair or has the ability to hurt.

[slatyb]

If you don't think it's right, then don't enter a poly relationship. Don't worry about what others choose, it doesn't affect you.

[Hanrej]

Because it is. 😊 These are all consenting adults who enjoy eachothers company. Why do people think it's morally acceptable to try and control how other people live their lives?

[Agagagagaga]

That’s called “law.”

😐

[FilmGuy93]

I mean... as long as no one is getting hurt, who am I to say otherwise?

[Ironic_Method]

How is it not morally acceptable if everyone involved is happy and aware?

[JustiReno]

Can you pop out 100 babies? What about 1000? Hail to the King! 👑

[ArtemisSilver]

Fun fact: you are not the grand arbiter of what is moral or not.

[Rockstarrrrr]

It's acceptable to them.. Everyone is entitled to their opinion

[maximumpower]

Obviously, not everyone thinks as you do.
Some prefer alternative choices.

[Guy13]

It is wrong in every way

[JessJJ]

Yes I think it's fine!

[Jamie05rhs]

It's not.
