It's almost like someone ungodly wrote the rules to fit their needs. But people wouldn't use religion to justify their behaviors, would they? Certainly not, right?

MODERATORS
Nah, see, this is one of the few parts that make perfect sense. Classic A/B testing.
Both think of the children
I'd rather they didn't.
In a rather unholy way
I assure you, they are thinking only of the holes
Proof that God is an evil bastard.
Gives the man who needs no wine, lots of it.
Gives the man with 4 wives no wine.
He must be laughing his ass off.
Boomer humour
The celibacy thing for Catholics is a rule the Church eventually adopted, in Corinthians it even says that apostles can and do have wives.
The trick is to always keep 'em guessing!
The real trick is to control women and to invent the rules such that everybody will inevitably break them.
If you don't think there isn't at least as much effort done to control men (the ones they get money and free labor from), you're blind as a sexist bat
If you control women, then you also control men.
We had couple of gods in the past... You really think yours is "the one"?!?
Well the one who does not belong to MY religion is obviously wrong and lying about which arbitrary restrictions must be observed on pain of being killed as a heretic.
It makes no sense. If you have more wives, you need more alcohol, not less.
Because you now have five people sharing a drink together?
WIVES BAD
"Bob" tells us that we should sin, drink to our hearts content, and fornicate like our life depends on it, because it does! Praise "Bob!"
Eris tells us we should partake joyously of a hot dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns).
