You know women are just as bad right? I don't understand why this is all aimed at men.6 -

For me it has nothing to do with ego, but what I believe is right and wrong. And everyone will believe differently. Xoxoxo
Here, let me rock your theological world for a moment. Actually, scripture says nothing of the sort. True it is God's desire that marriage be between just one man & one woman, but, to have more than one is not a sin & the bible in no way condemns multiple spouses. Even in the NT, the marriages were not limited to one man/one woman, which was a concept taken from the restriction placed on OT Kings who were only supposed to have one wife. The one wife restriction was only placed only on persons of church leadership in the NT based on the idea that this was God's preferred model for marital relationships.
Nowhere in scripture does it condemn these actions at all. As a matter of fact in Exodus it actually expressly permits it. It's very specific that if someone had multiple spouses, that he was to treat the second wife as well as the first. The parable of the ten virgins. One Bridegroom & ten brides. It wasn't a confusing concept back then. Even God metaphorically describes himself as having a polygamous marriage between Himself, The Kingdom of Judah & the Kingdom of Israel. He also called them both wh-ores in that situation too. Then he declared judgment on one for being too much of a ho & took the other back & for gave her.
Why do I know this weird random info? Well, I was an associate pastor, a youth pastor, credentialed minister, spent years at bible college & I'm still an avid theology student. (I'm sure a few MFP'ers that are my friends are scratching their heads in disbelief after reading that) I'm ultra conservative theologically speaking, but I'm also a literalist. I refuse to make the bible say something that it doesn't even if it's something I'm not comfortable with.
Personally, the idea of more than one spouse is pretty forked up & just down right stupid, but your condemnation takes it even a step further than that even the condemning of conversation. All of these people would be perfectly within the biblical realm of freedom of what is permissible if they quit flirting & just said "I Do". Problem solved... or not.
When it comes down to religion & one's belief system, what does one do when certain bits of this system were built completely on a religious man made agenda vs what scripture actually says?
Oh Sweet Lord.....in the words of Jesus himself......youve been schooled!
I dont believe in Christ, Buddha, Mohammed or anyone else.
We love in a society and times where old school thoughts from the 40s and 50 are widely dismissed, but we'll live by a book written thousands of years ago, where a snake talks, people come back from the dead, a guy walks on water and a virgin has a baby......that *kitten* we believe!

I think I'm going to flirt with you from now on. It's only wrong with the opposite gender.1 -

Nothing to do with the Bible.
Even atheists adhere to monogamy and some sense of loyalty to spouses. It’s human nature. It is the norm in all countries in the world. Surely it is not based on a selective religious system. Humans are naturally inclined to take a life partner and live with them with some sense of commitment.
Your defence of polygamy citing the Bible sets a dangerous precedent. Deuteronomy says a lot of weird things and there is also a lot of underage marriages or unions in the OT. Would you defend child marriages in the same way?
Are you saying not monogamous couples are not committed to each other?

Great, another "be like me" post.
It's also human nature to be attracted to other people. Just because you're not in a monogamous relationship doesn't mean the relationship doesn't have loyalty or commitment, as long as all parties are happy with their setup, who the *kitten* cares? Why not just let people be however they want to be?4 -

Okay Dr.Phil. Nobody is actually defending the original post, it's tasteless. The only people that are coming out strong are the ones that are judging others for the way they live their lives and calling OP pathetic.3 -

You be you and I'll be the sinner that I am.
I'm going to the gym for a yoga class and there's one guy there that picks his toenails the whole time and grunts loudly during downward dog. Still better than this conversation.

In my mind being kind and paying compliments is not flirting, unless it's something sexual. Like I can tell a woman she is beautiful, or I can tell a man that he has a nice smile. To me flirting is private messaging or even posting it to each other talking about sex and what not. It's not really about my ego, it's more about hey I'm committed to this guy and only this guy and I want him to do the same. No shame against open relationships or marriage.0
