I disagree, natural rights are what is natural to individual man (or woman). The right to speak freely, right to be armed, right to travel, eat, sleep, have shelter....all things you provide for yourself.
I think you completely misunderstood what I said, as you disagreed then reiterated it using different words. Did you really disagree? If so, with what, and why? If you just had something to add, that's fine, and I welcome it, provided it's not mischaracterized as disagreement when it's right in line with what I said.
I do find it odd that our country has such an issue with it when we were founded on bible principles and polygamy is in the bible.
Saying something is found in the Bible is very different than saying the Bible condones it. Both murder and killing are found in the Bible, yet the Bible clearly differentiates the difference between murder and killing. Killing is ok under certain, limited circumstances. Murder is the unlawful taking of another's life and is never ok.
I also don't see the LDS church as going back to it since the main reason they even started practicing polygamy was because mobs kept killing all the men and at that time women pretty much couldn't do a lot of things on their own.
Yes, the Bible mentions polygamy, and it was widely practiced, but it was not condoned. One was not accepted for service within the church unless one was the husband of but one wife (1 Tim 3:2, 12).
More specifically, in the culture when this passage was written polygamy was not uncommon and to say that a man should "have but one wife" would be naturally understood as prohibiting polygamy. God ordained one-woman, one-man marriage in the beginning (Genesis 2:20-24). Polygamy originated with the son of rebellious Cain (Genesis. 4:16-19) Although several biblical characters such as David were polygamists the Bible gives clear examples of the destructiveness of this practice. Polygamy resulted in much heartache and trouble (Gen. 16:1-6; 1 Sam. 1:2-8; 1 Kings 11:1-8). God forbid kings to multiply wives (Deut. 17:14,17). David, Solomon, and other kings who had multiple wives were living contrary to God's Word. Most men of God even in the Old Testament had only one wife. This is true for Adam (Gen. 2-4), Noah (Gen. 6:18), Isaac (Gen. 25:20-23), Joseph (Gen. 41:45), Moses (Exodus. 2:21), Boaz (Ruth. 4), Job (Job 1), Isaiah (Isa. 8:3), and Hosea (Hosea 3:1-3). There is no New Testament. example of a godly Christian having more than one wife and those who have more than one wife today are forbidden to hold church leadership positions (1 Tim. 3:2,12; Titus. 1:6).

I think should be sufficient reference with respect to the Biblical illegitimacy of polygamy.
