The fact that you reject even the Abrahamic commandment suggests to me that we will find little common ground in this discussion.
Look, Tex. Here's what it all boils down to.

Before the Church publicly admitted the practice of polygamy (in 1852), part of the Doctrine and Covenants included a canonized “Chapter of Rules for Marriage among the Saints”, which declared, “Inasmuch as this church of Christ has been reproached with...polygamy; we declare that we believe, that one man should have one wife...”

This "Chapter of Rules for Marriage among the Saints" was later removed from the canon.

If they can remove monogamy from the canon, then they sure as heck ought to be able to remove polygamy.

And that's all I have to say about that.
