It looks like polygamy isn't just for Mormon fundies anymore, they seems to be an increase of polygamists in general. Quote:
Chicago Tribune/March 16, 2008
By Zehra Mamdani
Albert Morrison is a religious man. He prays, he reads the Bible and says he has a deep connection with Jesus. It is this devotion that helps explain why Albert and his wife, Sarah, are searching for a second wife.
"David, Abraham, Jacob, Solomon -- they all had multiple wives," he said, referring to four of the Bible's most revered prophets. "The Bible never banned polygamy, it glorified it."
The Morrisons are part of a group of Evangelical Christian polygamists who believe that polygamy, the practice of taking more than one wife, is spiritually and even economically more favorable than monogamy.
