S8 E17 Polygamy: Sacred Obedience or Moral Surrender?
Send us a text!
Episode 17 of Polygamy examines whether one lesson from polygamy is to obey religous authority even when it clashes with our inner moral compass. We explore parallels between Mormon polygamy and the biblical Abraham/Isaac story through Steven Carter's "Scared Sacred" article, both testing conventional morality through divine commands. We discuss how these narratives impact psychological development and create tension between obedience and individual morality. We consider modern implications of spiritual polygamy in LDS doctrine and encourage critical thinking when navigating faith, authority, and personal values.
