Interesting discussion.

I am half way through reading Under the Banner of Heaven.

If you are really interested in this subject and how the Mormon religion began this is the place to start. The subject of plural marriage is a dominant part of the book.

It will shock you how this started and in comparison to where Mormonism is today it is remarkable that they came this far.

As in all religions, plural marriage is actually on the fringe of mainstream Mormonism today. But the story on how they got to that point is a pure fairy tale.
