This is a strange debate

[@peruvianauthorities1739]

What's to debate?! There has been, and is, and always will be ONE God (humans are humans and will never become gods)! God NEVER allowed polygamy (Satan did)! The example of God creating Adam and then Eve (as a companion) - is a sign in itself that God intended man to have one and only one wife! Polygamy was actually the underlying factor in Joseph Smith's death. How? Due to the fact that the birth rates of baby boys, in comparison to the birth rates of baby girls is closer to 50/50 - with the actual birth rates skewed just a bit higher for the number of baby girls - will result in there not being enough women for men to have multiple wives. Hence, there will be a shortage of women for many of the younger men. That's why the FLDS expel many young men from their communities. As a result, Joseph Smith introduced polyandry. The owner of the Nauvoo Expositor was against polyandry and published his anti-polyandry views and this angered Joseph Smith. Smith was involved destroying the printing presses of the local newspaper. Since destroying the printing presses interfered with the U.S. Constitution - Smith was ultimately arrested! And then the angry mob (probably Mormon's against polyandry?) murdered Joseph Smith.

When you realize the whole mormon movement is just as fraudulent as most other religious movements if not all, every contradictory issue within the LDS church makes perfect sense. Including the ones being discussed here in this ?debate?

Most religions are not fraudulent the way mormonism is
