    Please don’t try to use historical or biblical figures to justify your actions or points. We, who have read Anastasia, should know better.
    Firstly, even contemporary scholars accept that history (and the bible) is prejudiced and we don’t know what exactly went on.
    Secondly, the “history” we refer to in both sources (mainstream, bible), refers to the age of images and age of destruction. If you want follow their examples, you are bound to prolong the current age. Instead, its better to look at how things were in the vedic age. Anastasia repeatedly makes reference to how it was then and it as a model for what we should strive for now. In all her stories of the vedic age, I can’t think of any that had polygamy/polyamoury/polygyny or any of that.
    And thirdly, it is possible that those times when men “had lots of wives” were also times when there were relatively few men in such nations precisely because those men were killing each other in senseless wars – sometimes such wars were, supposedly, fighting over specific women when the aggressor already had one or more wives (so, I don’t know how polygyny is supposed to “heal some of society’s problems”, as you put it!).

    When I called it a “sick fantasy”, I was being polite – for the sake of the harmony in this community
