I've never had a problem with plural marrige/relationships as long as all
parties were adult and truly consenting. I've known people who were in a
long time three way relationship that worked as far as I could tell, at
least as well as any "traditional" marriage or longterm 2 person
relationship.
Would I do it? At this point in my life (mid-60s, married 30+ years),
probably not. Under different circumstances, why not?
I really don't understand what this has to do with atheism. The three-way
"family" I mentioned above were devout Christians. As we all know, the
Mormon fundy sect members who believe in and practice polygamy (but not
polyandry) are devout theists.

I think the christians are gonna be disappointed at us. We probably
don't have quite the hedonist attitudes they expect. It seems
atheists, like most everyone else, are 'programmed' on some level to
be monogamous. The only difference seems to be we're more open with
regards to whether or not our personal like should necessarily have to
apply to everyone else.

If today he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade
Canada to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him?
You may say to him, "I see no probability of the British invading us,"

I tried marriage once. Didn't work so well. I can't imagine wanting
to live with two men, and living with another woman is right out,
unless, of course, she was the silent, subservient kind that did the
housework and cooked then faded into the furniture at all other times.
Second thought: it would be easier and cheaper to hire a cleaning
woman so the silent, subservient woman could find her true calling as
a Christian wife.

They ARE legal.

I wasn't aware it was illegal. You can, of course only have one
marriage license but who needs those anyway? There is no law, as far
as I know that prevents people from having one or more partners if
they so desire it. There may be archiac laws but they have lapsed from
misuse.
I suspect that the marriage license will be abolished in a few years
anyway as it serves no useful purpose. It is from a more restrictive
and controlled age that we long ago waved goodbye too.

No. But I do think other people should be allowed to choose for
themselves. I'm too jealous a person, and so is my wife. A third
person would be a fifth wheel. But that doesn't mean the situation
can't arise where polygamy could be a good thing. Although I
absolutely abhor the way it happens in most cultures, through force,
coercion, oppression and so on.

Of course. I just wonder if it might be a lot worse with each new
wife added to the harem.

Nothing prevents anyone to live with as many people as one wants...
That there isn't a "contract" doesn't mean it cannot be done. Since I'm
an atheist, I don't need the blessing of any authority, religous, moral
or whatever, for doing what I want to do as long as I don't interfere
with someone else's freedom and right to be happy.
As for me, why not? As long as everyone is happy...
I'd think jealousy would creep into the picture, don't you?
What, like jealousy never happens in monogamous partnerships????
Of course. I just wonder if it might be a lot worse with each new
wife added to the harem.
I get it now!
With multiple partners, jealousy creeps into the gender,
and with single partners, creeps engender jealousy?

Sure, why not.
Of course, she would have the same rights and privileges that I had.
So, while I may have a wife, with sister wives, she might also have a
husband, with brother husbands as well.
What works for me, must work for her. If not, it's wrong.

This could get confusing really fast. On the other hand I suppose it's
not any more confusing than the serial monogamy society we have today.

I don't think anyone knows how such a system could work. If they did,
I'd really like them to explain it to me.
For example:
1) If I die, are my wives still married to each other?
2) If I divorce one wife, how is her entitlement to spousal support
(and child support for any resulting children) to be calculated? Based
on the income of me and all the other wives?
3) Can one of my wives decide to divorce another? Do they divorce me
and all the other wives? How does that work? Can one wife dissolve the
entire marriage by divorce? Or just remove herself from it? And if she
can just remove herself, why can't I just remove myself?
4) Can one of my wives divorce me but stay married to the other wives?
And so on, and so on.
DS
