Why the hell do people consider faith a virtue?
Q. This brings me to my central point on the ignorance, hypocrisy, and illogical assumptions of religion.

Moreover, because polygamy provides many advantages for increased reproductive success for the fittest -- and takes maximum advantage of the fact that males can multiply their genes far faster than females by multiple partners -- biology could be said to favor polygamy while making polyandry an impractical idea except under extremely difficult, limited-food-resources circumstances.
