What's the difference between polygamy and polyamory dating?

Added: 01/09/2007

It's as tough as a child to grow up these days. Fitting in, wearing just the right clothes, knowing all the right people, finding all the right friends and being seen in all the right places. Isn't it incredible that in an age where dating is full of pressure and ambiguity today's society has begun to embrace the idea of polyamory dating. Often confused with Polygamy, the practice of a man being married to two women at the same time, polyamory is the practice of having intimate, sexual relationships with more than one person at the same time; simultaneously.

The act of sexual intercourse was a gift given to mankind by God for the purposes of pleasure and procreation. In addition, the institution of marriage was a holy sacrament designed to protect and keep us for our spouse to make pure the lines of family. These lines are as twisted as they’ve ever been and polyamory dating, or “swinging” as it’s sometimes called, is a big piece at the heart of the matter. The term in itself is defective. When one thinks of dating, the thoughts of spending some time with someone you’d like to get to know well are, for most, at the forefront. Awkward glances, long silences, and stumbling through the first “good night” are all a part of the excitement felt by knowing that someone is showing an interest in you as you are them. At the end of the evening, both parties usually reminisce and decide whether or not to rip this name out of the “black book” or to call in a few days and ask for another date.

I don’t know anyone who, while thinking about the concept of dating, envisions two women to have to entertain, sit in silent stare downs with and still have to pay for their dinners! This is absolutely absurd. And that is not even what the term “dating” means in polyamory dating.

The term “dating” in this phrase means to be with two women (or if you’re a woman, two men) engaging in sexual intercourse simultaneously. This is an absolutely intolerable societal norm. As if children don’t struggle now with self esteem issues and emotional trauma! Feeling loved, protected and respected are things that are readily available in most families and are sought out as we get older from others. The delusion that those things can be obtained from an intimate relationship with multiple people at the same time is disastrous! God did not intend this type of intimacy, therefore it cannot fulfill, it cannot satisfy and it cannot sustain the human being.

Christians, even good ones, also allow themselves to become confused. Christian polyamory is a without a doubt the most dangerous contradiction in terms. Citing the statement above, there is no such thing as Christians getting together to have sex with each other simultaneously! Christian beliefs are grounded in the holy sacrament of marriage and abide by the law governing such intimacy. From this they receive their greatest rewards, marriage the way it was intended to be.

In this society, so many are concerned with their “civil liberties”. What about our children’s rights to be protected? Who is going to protect our children if even we ourselves subject them to things they can’t possibly manage in their thoughts? Who is going to show them what is right and whole and pure? Certainly polyamory dating is not! Who is going to raise them in the way that will give them life and not emotional, physical and spiritual death? It has been said that “there seems a way that is right to a man (woman) but it is not.” Polyamory dating certainly fits into this way of thinking!

Our children are our future! It is up to parents to not conform to the cataclysmic battle of society! Some of what people say seem fair and completely logical; however, don’t allow yourselves to get lost in the advocate’s arguments. Look a little harder and you’ll realize they only spell death to an entire nation of our children!
