It's the truth! That's why they started making their women wear burkas! As the women folk start to age, they get as hairy as the men.

Can you give me instances of sanctioned polygamy in the New Testament?

I have only heard of one reference to it. Jesus gave a parable about 10 virgins who were awaiting their groom. These are regarded by some to be a party of 10 women awaiting their marriage as was customary among women given as brides between nations, tribes, or large families. A the groom would often make an arrangement for a certain number of wives and come for them unexpectedly. Well...five were wise and prepared but five were foolish and found locked out of their wedding.

Some have said that if Christ found polygamy detestable he wouldn't have used it as an example to illustrate a righteous spiritual teaching.
