You're talking about the same God which you profess belief in. It's a bit puzzling.

P.S. As Libby points out, God did not command polygamy.

The uniquely LDS Doctrine and Covenants states on behalf of God that polygamy is commanded but that is another LDS error.

The D&C used to state that marriage was only for one man and one woman, but that section was removed and section 132 inserted in its place.

Hey, new thread. :-)
