He remarked that legalizing it now opens the door to the \u201cthe next natural question\u201d: Why should we not open marriage up to polygamy?<\/p>\nThe whole gay marriage issue, he noted, shows how America is ignoring \u201cthe word of God\u201d and tossing \u201cthe whole thing in the garbage.\u201d<\/p>\n
But it is actually Carson who is tossing God\u2019s word into the trash! Why else would he have the audacity to bring up polygamy? Chutzpah!<\/p>\n
