Not in any way going to defend polygamy, but that is a warped version of polygamy. And absolutely no one has defended that sort of thing anywhere.
Polygamy *was* practiced in Bible times. It *is* part of the culture, customs, and history of that people at that time. I've seen some discussion about that. I've seen some discussion about non-religious polyamory (ok, so not since last night..but I haven't read every single post either). I've seen some joking around. But I have not seen one single person say that what you're talking about is something they would support or practice.
