    What is it with Mormons and the name Becca? If I count all the Mormon Beccas I’ve met, then counted this girl, she wouldn’t even be on counted on my hands.

        Idk if any of them have had the full name, just lots of Beccas. You’ll also note that any Hebrew name that also appears in the old testament (Noah in particular) are popular Christian names.

      They did don some crazy underwear in anticipation of the event. Also, polyamory is definitely on the table if they’re true to their founder’s beliefs and actions.

        Don’t sully polyamory with the misogyny that is polygamy. They want multiple wives to have multiple women to control

          I don’t think polygamy has to be misogynistic, although I agree that’s the way its been overwhelmingly applied throughout recorded history. It could hypothetically be misandrist if power dynamics had the opposite gender polarity. I think the core issue is the power imbalance being expressed in the construction of a harem. Anyway, I think of polyamory as the broad term and polygamy as an unfortunate subset of it, designed to legally and unilaterally enforce an inequitable and exploitive type of polyamorous relationship by members of one gender against the members of another. That’s a pretty broad generalization of gender, sex, and orientation dynamics, but I’m not an expert in the field. I assume there’s still some kind of conventional, ontological hierarchy with corresponding terminology. I think that’s what I was reaching for.

            It’s about the term. Polyamory and Polygamy could basically mean the same thing if polygamy wasn’t already having heavy ties to a man controlling a harem of women.

    Look, we’re all looking for a unicorn. This seems like one of the least effective ways to do it.

    If I saw this in the wild, I’d immediately hire the most attractive single person I could find to reply to this ad, go to church with them, and low-key try to have sex with either/both of them on the side

      I’ve got nothing against their kind per se, but do they have to shove it down our throats?

      Is Jesus God? Because God had some pretty shitty things to say about women and gay folk. 🤷‍♂️

        The Old Testament, to me at least, is essentially worthless. It has likely been mistranslated and misinterpreted over the many, many centuries of its existence to the point where its original meaning (if it had any in the first place) is gone.

        The NT is at least more readable and contains quite a bit of wisdom. Message is pretty simple: essentially, love and forgive others. Which we could all do more of, especially in this day and age.

        What I don’t necessarily agree with is needing obedience to a central dogma or organized religion…I think the only thing that matters is how you live your life and treat others. Doesn’t matter the religion, or lack of religion. We are all equal.

        That’s the thing about Jesus. He was sent to earth to finally be nice to humans by his vengeful, controlling father, as a gesture of reconciliation.

          God sounds like a massive piece of shit.

          Women must be subservient to men! Stone the gays! You can own human beings as property!

          JK! LOL Here’s my son, you can torture him to death in a horrific fashion, so we’re cool, right?

          No man… We’re pretty damn far from cool…

    The sound like the second most insufferable couple ever, right after the couple that is going through a very public breakup right now.

      Imagine the uproar if you went to a church and said “you’re so prudish, you need to fuck more, come to Tinder.”
