I guess all this problems started with the total separation of religion and government in western countries. Maybe good in some ways, but bad in others.
Parenthood is no longer being looked at by some as a great responsibility situation, but is rather looked at as a “I want what I want” situation.
To think a child cannot sell lemonade without license, a person will be fined for jaw walking, it is illegal to keep a street pigeon as a pet… yet a man can spread sperm to impregnate many women without license so they can have babies to grow up without father (I am referring to sperm donation to single women, which is often the case in my country).
Even though studies have shown that many men in prison come from household of absent father.
Why then just draw the line there? Why not secular country also allow polygamy?
After all, it is only affecting those people themselves.
Secular country don’t allow polygamy not because they are concerned of any confusion for childrens. If this was the true reason then they would not allow single or same-sex ivf either. Polygamy is rather illegal rather for feminist reasons.
So is there truly such a thing as secular country/governments?
Iow, they may not technically believe in a God or subscribe to religious believe/values, but instead they are following the new religion of feminism and political correctedness values.
Religion, and particularly Christianity, is out, but something else has filled it’s gap…
