does anyone remember WHY Mormons started polygamy? There was a reason for it.
Never thought about it. Why?

It's because there was an order to execute every single one of them and they started out on a journey across the country. The men 'married' several wives and took their children to provide for them on the way and it just kind of continued on.
Boggs' Missouri Executive Order Number 44, read as follows:
“
Headquarters of the Militia, City of Jefferson, Oct. 27, 1838.
Gen. John B. Clark:
Sir: Since the order of this morning to you, directing you to cause four hundred mounted men to be raised within your division, I have received by Amos Reese, Esq., of Ray county, and Wiley C. Williams, Esq., one of my aids [sic], information of the most appalling character, which entirely changes the face of things, and places the Mormons in the attitude of an open and avowed defiance of the laws, and of having made war upon the people of this state. Your orders are, therefore, to hasten your operation with all possible speed. The Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the state if necessary for the public peace--their outrages are beyond all description. If you can increase your force, you are authorized to do so to any extent you may consider necessary. I have just issued orders to Maj. Gen. Willock, of Marion county, to raise five hundred men, and to march them to the northern part of Daviess, and there unite with Gen. Doniphan, of Clay, who has been ordered with five hundred men to proceed to the same point for the purpose of intercepting the retreat of the Mormons to the north. They have been directed to communicate with you by express, you can also communicate with them if you find it necessary. Instead therefore of proceeding as at first directed to reinstate the citizens of Daviess in their homes, you will proceed immediately to Richmond and then operate against the Mormons. Brig. Gen. Parks of Ray, has been ordered to have four hundred of his brigade in readiness to join you at Richmond. The whole force will be placed under your command.
I am very respectfully, yr obt st [your obedient servant],

I was stationed in Salt Lake for a for years and dated a Mormon girl a bit, even went to church with her a few times. But basically plural marriage was to obtain godhood, the more wives the higher in heaven you go, or something like that.
On a side note... Mormon girls up there will keep there virginity, but they will let you put it in their ass all day long. One of those "loopholes"
You remember the stories John use to tell us about the the three chinamen playing Fantan? This guy runs up to them and says, "Hey, the world's coming to an end!" and the first one says, "Well, I best go to the mission and pray," and the second one says, "Well, hell, I'm gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores," and the third one says "Well, I'm gonna finish the game." I shall finish the game, Doc.
They haven't slaughtered anybody for the past 157 years in the name of religion (that I'm aware of).
I wonder why Catholics are never brought up when genocide and religion are discussed.
