One Flesh

[Magdlyn]

Basically, Abrahamic religions were designed at a time when the patriarchy was even more powerful than it is today (although the government seems to want to bring it back to those "good old days" presently). The Bible was composed at a time when women were chattel, and had no power to speak of. They were barely considered human. Their function was mainly to be breeding vessels. They certainly could not have more than one male sex partner. So, that's the bottom line.

However, the modern church also condemns men having more than one wife. And bigamy is illegal. So, having a wife and a gf is not allowed. Period. Some liberal Christians try to get around this by saying Jesus's message of love for all overrides the idea of monogamy, but that's a stretch, imo.

Suffice it to say, your lifestyle will not be accepted in the Fundamentalist Evangelical and Pentecostal Churches

In more moderate mainstream churches - Episcopalians especially - you are more likely to be welcomed without condemnation, but most likely would not be asked to participate in any leadership positions.

Unless you’re a politician that is!

Unless you’re a politician that is!

Yeah.... except that politicians are seldom ethically non-monogamous. Most just cheat, intimidate, and molest.
