An Arizona-based <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/former-child-member-sex-cult-telling-her-horrific-hank-berrien/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cult leader</a> stands accused of having at least 20 wives, according to an affidavit — and in addition to many of them being under 15 years of age, and he is suspected to have attempted to marry his own daughter.
According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/12/04/polygamous-leader-samuel-bateman-had-20-wives-most-under-age-15/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">affidavit</a>, filed Friday by the FBI in Spokane, Washington, Samuel Rappylee Bateman, 46, is accused of marrying more than 20 women and girls — the youngest of whom was just nine years old. Bateman was the leader of a small sect of Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that embraced <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/push-polygamy-begins-amanda-prestigiacomo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">polygamy</a>.
The Salt Lake Tribune obtained the affidavit and <a href="https://www.sltrib.com/news/2022/12/03/polygamous-leader-samuel-bateman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published it</a> on Saturday, revealing that Bateman and several co-conspirators had been accused of a litany of sex crimes against minors as well as tampering with evidence and attempting to obstruct the investigation into their conduct.
Bateman, according to the affidavit, felt &#8220;prompted&#8221; to marry his own teenaged daughter in 2019. His wife and daughter left the home following that revelation, but he and several followers began collecting girls in the months that followed. He is accused of both directing and participating in a number of sex acts with the girls.

JOIN US AND SAVE 30%.</a>
In one instance, Bateman allegedly gave three of the girls — one of whom was just 12 at the time —to three adult male followers, claiming that they had &#8220;sacrificed their virtue for the Lord.&#8221; He then reportedly claimed, &#8220;God will fix their bodies and put the membrane back in their body. I’ve never had more confidence in doing his will. It’s all out of love.&#8221;
The saga <a href="https://www.sltrib.com/news/2022/12/02/officials-took-girls/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">began in September</a>, when officials first raided Bateman&#8217;s home in Colorado City, Arizona, after which the state&#8217;s Department of Child Safety (DCS) removed nine girls — aged 11 to 16 — from the group&#8217;s followers. The girls were placed in group homes near Phoenix, but eight of them went missing on the same day in late November.
A Spokane County Sheriff&#8217;s Deputy found all of the girls on Thursday, after they traced the credit card information from an Airbnb rental, and the 19-year-old driving the vehicle — identified as Moretta Rose Johnson — was accused in the complaint of kidnapping.
Another of Bateman&#8217;s followers, a 24-year-old woman, was also arrested in Colorado City on Thursday, after a phone call from Bateman in jail linked her to the plot to kidnap the girls from the group homes. She was booked at Mohave County jail for a number of charges ranging from kidnapping and resisting arrest to obstructing a criminal investigation.

Christians who oppose same-sex marriage will often point to the Bible for support, stating that God intended marriage to be the union of a man and a woman. Critics will reply, “But the Bible also supported polygamy. In fact, it was even part of Torah law.” What, then, does the Bible say about polygamy?
Let’s start with Adam and Eve. They were the Bible’s first couple – not &#8216;<a href="https://askdrbrown.org/library/we-mindlessly-careen-our-way-down-slippery-slope">throuple</a>,&#8217; but couple. Put another way, God did not create Adam and Eve and Evette. His intent, from the beginning, was to join one man with one woman for life.
Jesus reiterated this in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+19&amp;version=KJV">Matthew</a> when answering a question about divorce: “‘Haven’t you read,’ he replied, ‘that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh?” So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
So, the two (not the three or the four) become one, joined together by God.
In the same way, when Paul spoke of the union of a husband and wife as a mystical symbol of the union of Jesus with the Church, the imagery again was clear: one husband/Husband and one bride/Church (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%201&amp;version=KJV">Ephesians</a>).
That being said, polygamy was a common way of life in biblical times, and it was accepted under the Law of Moses. 
This dates all the way back to <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+4&amp;version=KJV">Genesis</a>, the first reference to a man having multiple wives, and some of the most famous figures in the Bible, including Abraham, Jacob, and Moses, had more than one wife.
Not only so, but the Torah explicitly allowed Israel’s king more than one wife. He was just forbidden from having too many wives: “And he shall not have many wives, lest his heart go astray; nor shall he amass silver and gold to excess.” (Deuteronomy)
It is also possible that, in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+25&amp;version=KJV">Deuteronomy 25</a>, the Torah required a married man to marry his brother’s wife if the brother passed away without having a son, but scholars debate whether this law applied to a man who was already married.
That being said, what is very clear from the Scriptures is that polygamy is a bad practice and in contradiction to God’s ideal for humanity. It was allowed because of prevailing cultural norms and as an accommodation to the needs of procreation, since a couple without children had few or no providers in their old age. And without children, the family line could become extinct.
That’s why Abraham took <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+16%3A3&amp;version=NKJV">Hagar as a wife</a> in his old age, thinking that this was the only way for him to have a child, as his wife Sarah was barren.
But, to repeat, without forbidding polygamy by law – there is not one verse in the Bible that explicitly prohibits it – the Scriptures paint a decidedly negative picture of the practice.
Abraham’s wife, Sarah, clashes with Hagar.
Jacob has constant family issues because he has two wives (sisters, in fact, and not by his choosing).
Hannah, the wife of Elkanah and the mother of Samuel, was ridiculed by Elkanah’s other wife, Peninnah because of her barrenness before conceiving Samuel.
King David encounters all kinds of familial infighting (including rape and murder) and political intrigues because of his multiple wives.
And King Solomon, David’s son, goes completely off the rails, taking things to an unprecedented extreme: “He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray.” (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Kings%201&amp;version=KJV">Kings</a>. Note that in Solomon’s case, his sin was compounded in that many of his wives were from non-Israelite nations, meaning idol-worshiping nations. Such unions were strictly forbidden by Israelite law).
So, to repeat, while the Bible does not explicitly prohibit polygamy, there is not one single positive example of polygamy in the Old Testament, while every example that is treated at any length is decidedly negative.
This, too, is a scriptural method of teaching morality, by example and not only by legislation.
Continuing into the New Testament, where there are no examples of polygamous unions despite their existence in the Jewish and pagan cultures, none of the apostles had more than one wife (see <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians+9&amp;version=KJV">Corinthians</a>) and, more importantly, church overseers, who were all male, had to be “the husband of one wife.” (Timothy)
This was of tremendous importance, since the believers in each congregation were called to emulate the example of their leaders (<a href="http://hebrews">Hebrews</a>) and since it was understood that a man could not ascend to church leadership if he was a polygamist.
So, just as divorce was never God’s ideal but was accommodated under biblical law because of human sin and weakness (as Jesus explained in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+19&amp;version=KJV">Matthew</a>), so also polygamy was accommodated.
In distinction, however, from divorce, which is allowed under certain circumstances in the New Testament, polygamy is never expressly permitted in the New Testament, which instead emphasizes God’s plan from the beginning: one man and one woman joined together and becoming one flesh.
That’s why early Church leaders taught <a href="http://www.earlychristiancommentary.com/early-christian-dictionary/polygamy/">against polygamy</a>, although it was not a major focus of <a href="https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/90888/did-the-early-church-fathers-condemn-polygamy">their writings</a>. And that’s why, with rare exceptions, polygamy was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygamy_in_Christianity">banned</a> in countries that adopted Christian teaching.
In <a href="https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/polygamy-in-judaism/">Judaism</a>, while Talmudic rabbis were not themselves polygamous, the first official legal ban on polygamy did not come until around 1,000 AD.
Those looking to the Bible in support of polygamy will not find the support they desire.

&#8220;Slippery slope theory is a form of logical fallacy.&#8221; – Knaves and fools
&nbsp;
The concerted social push is now unequivocally on to normalize non-monogamous, polyamorous relationships.
Just yesterday, CBS News ran a rather disturbing <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/polyamory-relationships-not-just-one-big-orgy-stigma-of-consensual-non-monogamy-cbsn-originals/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&amp;linkId=75870278">story</a> entitled, &#8220;Not Just &#8216;One Big Orgy&#8217;: Fighting The Stigma Of Consensual Non-Monogamy.&#8221;

&mdash; CBS News (@CBSNews) <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1187509000516132870?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 24, 2019</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The article, we are informed, is timed to coincide with CBS News&#8217; premiering this weekend an original glowing documentary entitled, &#8220;Speaking Frankly: Non-Monogamy.&#8221; The article not-so-subtly attempts to guilt-trip the reader to care more about the purported woes of polyamorous <del>couples</del> people: &#8220;It is illegal in all 50 states to be married to more than one person — which is known as polygamy, not polyamory,&#8221; the reader is told. &#8220;Polyamorous people who try different kinds of arrangements — such as a married couple with steady outside partners — run into their own legal problems.&#8221;
The timing of the CBS News and concomitant documentary overlaps rather naturally with the lascivious new sex scandal involving Congresswoman Katie Hill, Democrat of California. As The Daily Wire has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-democrat-katie-hill-under-investigation-over-sex-scandal">reported</a>, Hill is now under congressional investigation over allegations she engaged in a &#8220;throuple&#8221; sexual relationship with her estranged husband and an erstwhile female campaign staffer, in addition to a separate affair with a congressional staffer. But it is also worth nothing that as far back as 2012, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamory:_Married_%26_Dating">&#8220;Polyamory: Married &amp; Dating&#8221;</a> became a relatively popular reality TV series. Vice, furthermore, wrote a laudatory <a href="https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/43y4kd/polyamorists-are-secretive-stigmatized-and-highly-satisfied">piece</a> in 2017 on polyamory entitled, &#8220;Polyamorists Are Secretive, Stigmatized, And Highly Satisfied.&#8221;
Well.
I am only 30 years old, and even I am old enough to remember how leftists and social libertarians alike repeatedly assured us social conservatives that the popular legalization — and, subsequently, imposed constitutionalization via <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14-556_3204.pdf">risible black-robed fiat</a> — of same-sex nuptials would lead to neither a normalization of non-monogamous relationships nor a push for polygamous &#8220;marriage&#8221; itself. Never mind that social conservatives, led by the veritable <a href="https://www.amazon.com/What-Marriage-Man-Woman-Defense/dp/1594036225">&#8220;What Is Marriage?&#8221;</a>-authoring triumvirate of Sherif Girgis, Ryan T. Anderson, and Robert P. George, quite persuasively pointed out that the only reason human civilization ever came around to the number &#8220;two&#8221; as rightfully constituting a marriage is because it takes precisely two individuals — one biological male and one biological female — to create human offspring. Never mind that social conservatives quite persuasively pointed out that once you remove biologically based sexual complementarity from the definition of marriage, the removal of that underlying number &#8220;two&#8221; would also logically follow. Never mind that social conservatives, led by New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, <a href="https://douthat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/04/28/the-wild-ideas-of-social-conservatives/">persuasively argued</a> that slippery slope social theory is not a &#8220;logical fallacy&#8221; — it is demonstrably borne out by real, tangible civilizational results over the span of at least the past half-century.
We are now here. The push for de-stigmatized polyamory — and, to be sure, the push quite soon for legalized polygamous &#8220;marriage&#8221; — is already unfolding right before our eyes. Purportedly &#8220;objective&#8221; CBS News, after all, is now publishing non-opinion section journalistic content that tries to shame monogamous readers into sympathizing with the legal &#8220;plight&#8221; of the polyamorous.
Those who reliably informed social conservatives that the de-coupling of sexual complementarity from the definition of marriage would not lead to such an obvious eventual social trend ought to now be held accountable for their merely shoddy prognoses, if they are to be given the benefit of the doubt — or their intellectual disingenuousness, if they are not to be given the benefit of the doubt. That would include <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/122042/polygamy-and-same-sex-marriage-arent-arguments-against-each-other">Andrew Sullivan</a> as far back as 1996 and any number of prominent pundits in the Obergefell v. Hodges decision year of 2015 — including  <a href="https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/06/polygamy-not-next-gay-marriage-119614">Jonathan Rauch</a>, <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2015/06/is-polygamy-next-after-gay-marriage-chief-justice-roberts-obergefell-dissent-says-yes.html">William Saletan</a>, and <a href="https://time.com/3942139/polygamy-is-not-next/">Cathy Young</a>. Each and every one of these pundits and social theorists ought to be challenged and asked why he or she did not possess the logic- and common sense-based prescience to foresee what was so obvious to some of us.
In the interim, those of us who still proudly self-identify as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hammer-social-conservatives-must-defend-the-intrinsic-good-of-religion">social conservatives</a> ought to dig in our heels. We have a new pernicious civilizational trend to fight, and it is happening right now.

The British Columbia Supreme Court <a href="http://www.weny.com/story/35959649/canadian-polygamous-leader-found-guilty-of-having-25-wives">found two men guilty</a> for violating Canada&#8217;s polygamy laws. Both men identify as members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and believe that their polygamous marriages were done in observance of their faith. 60-year-old Winston Blackmore was married to 25 women at one time while 53-year-old James Oler was married to five women at the same time. Under Canadian law, both men have to serve five years in prison for violating these laws.
The Mormon Church <a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/the-manifesto-and-the-end-of-plural-marriage?lang=eng">disavowed</a> polygamy back in the late 19th century after facing scrutiny from the United States government. Church President Wilford Woodruff wrote the following proclamation in the subsequent <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/od/1">Manifesto</a>:
<blockquote>
Inasmuch as laws have been enacted by Congress forbidding plural marriages, which laws have been pronounced constitutional by the court of last resort, I hereby declare my intention to submit to those laws, and to use my influence with the members of the Church over which I preside to have them do likewise.
</blockquote>
However, various adherents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, including the Fundamentalists with which both Blackmore and Oler identify, broke off from the Church and continued to practice polygamy despite its illegality in the United States and in Canada. Following his indictment, Blackmore said:
<blockquote>
I&#8217;m guilty of living my religion and that&#8217;s all I&#8217;m saying today because I&#8217;ve never denied that. Twenty-seven years and tens of millions of dollars later, all we&#8217;ve proved is something we&#8217;ve never denied. I&#8217;ve never denied my faith. This is what we expected.
</blockquote>
Blackmore is expected to appeal the decision. In British Columbia, the Supreme Court is a trial court and any subsequent appeals will be brought forth before the British Columbia Court of Appeal. However, the British Columbia Supreme Court ruled in 2011 that the anti-polygamy laws did not violate the religious freedoms protections of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

This article was corrected to point out that the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is not a sect of the Mormon Church, but rather a rogue entity that cut ties with the original Latter-Day Saints church in opposition to the 1890 Manifesto.

LOVE IS LOVE: Polygamous Men Convicted For Having 25 Wives

Canada

Mormonism

On Sunday, the Huffington Post did its part to promote &#8220;polyamorous&#8221; relationships, otherwise referred to as polygamy. The leftist publication pushed its narrative via its typical method, demonizing those who may not support the promotion of these sorts of relationships, for religious reasons or otherwise. The Post fawned over their corny #AcceptLove hashtag, tossed around the term &#8220;open minded&#8221; and pushed a video of a self-righteous man boasting about his intimate relationships with multiple women, (because equality).
To bring you up to speed, the latest confusing &#8220;hip and cool&#8221; relationship status, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamory">polyamory</a>, is the practice of having intimate relationships with more than one other person simultaneously at the consent of all involved. If you&#8217;re thinking you&#8217;ve heard this before, it&#8217;s because it&#8217;s essentially polygamy. If you&#8217;re still confused, just think <a href="http://www.tlc.com/tv-shows/sister-wives/">Sister Wives</a>. That should clear things up.
The Huffington Post, super-excited about the push toward polygamy, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/polyamorous-openminded-campaign-accept-love_us_56cf514be4b0bf0dab313457">explained</a> that &#8220;[a] new campaign aims to break down stigma, educate the public about and fight for the acceptance of polyamorous relationships.&#8221;
The Post continued, stating that the website with the most PC domain name in the history of the world, <a href="https://www.openminded.com/acceptlove/">openminded.com</a>, launched an #AcceptLove campaign, &#8220;an initiative focused on equality for polyamorous people.&#8221; Apparently, the leaders who launched said campaign are searching for &#8220;acceptance for poly relationships as the next frontier of mainstream queer liberation.&#8221;
Oh, goody! I think we can all agree that we were getting sick of the &#8220;old frontier,&#8221; with its &#8220;limited&#8221; hundreds of <a href="http://itspronouncedmetrosexual.com/2013/01/a-comprehensive-list-of-lgbtq-term-definitions/">sexual identities</a>.
&#8220;This moment will be remembered in history (if not for the complete destigmatization, then) for making great strides in acceptance for LGBT relationships and individuals,&#8221; said Openminded spokeswoman Angela Jacob Bermudo. &#8220;We are finally allowing people to, rightfully so, define themselves. If we can accept that a man can love a man, and vice versa for women, why then is it so difficult to wrap our minds around the concept of loving more than one person?&#8221;
Hilariously, the only two videos which Openminded has posted featuring people in a polyamorous relationship are comprised of one man and multiple women. Yeah, this sounds more like a plot contrived by slick men placating to fierce social justice warrior fanatics in effort to get lucky. But I could be wrong.
Here&#8217;s the video of one man and three women explaining their deep connection, because it&#8217;s &#8220;unfair&#8221; to expect one person to &#8220;fulfill all your needs.&#8221; (See, my conspiracy theory is materializing&#8230;)

The Push For Polygamy Begins

Huffington Post

Thanks to Islam, welfare exploitation just got much easier in the UK. Polygamous households, reminiscent of those found in traditional Islamic regions, will now receive greater benefits under Great Britain’s new welfare program.
“Men with more than one wife will qualify for extra benefits under the new welfare system, according to official House of Commons <a href="http://file//anl-pri-f01p-p/private$/gianluca.mezzofiore/Documents/Downloads/SN05051.pdf">research</a>,” reports Daily Mail (UK). “Under the universal credit welfare system, which is not expected to be fully introduced until 2021, polygamous households will be rewarded with higher benefits, <a href="http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/Society/article1659945.ece">The Sunday Times</a> reports.
This is how it will work, according to <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3414264/Want-higher-benefits-marry-one-wife-New-welfare-rules-hand-extra-taxpayer-cash-polygamists.html?ITO=1490&amp;ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_campaign=1490">Daily Mail</a>:
<blockquote>Currently, a husband and his first wife are paid up to £114.85 a week. Subsequent spouses living under the same roof receive around £40 each.
Under the new system of Universal Credit, which is not expected to be fully introduced until 2021, polygamous marriages will not be recognised at all.
The standard allowance is about £498.89 a month for couples, but single people can claim about £317.83.
That means the husband and his first wife will be able to claim the married couples&#8217; allowance and subsequent wives will be able to claim a single person&#8217;s allowance.</blockquote>
Basically, it’s Leftist political porn: welfare and Islam united in an intimate embrace.
Unsurprisingly, polygamy is not popular in most British households. Aside from the residual effects of 1960s-era free-love polyamory, England, for the most part, prefers monogamy. That’s not the case, however, with the Muslim community.
British Muslims disproportionately reside in polygamous households. “There no official figures but it is estimated that there may be as many as 20,000 polygamous marriages in the British Muslim community,” <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3414264/Want-higher-benefits-marry-one-wife-New-welfare-rules-hand-extra-taxpayer-cash-polygamists.html?ITO=1490&amp;ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_campaign=1490">explains</a> Daily Mail.
UK authorities will only recognize the legitimacy polygamous marriages if they took place in countries that are legal. That means Zambia, Pakistan, and other mostly Muslim countries.
In effect, this new policy privileges Islam, since non-Muslims Brits have mostly shunned the practice.
<blockquote>&#8220;That means the husband and his first wife will be able to claim the married couples&#8217; allowance and subsequent wives will be able to claim a single person&#8217;s allowance.&#8221;
