Is there a God?
>>Yes.

Who is God?
>>I AM THAT I AM

What are God's Attributes?
>>God caused the Big Bang. God is present at every moment in every part of the Universe. What would be the attributes of Someone who is The Ground Of All Being? Perhaps most importantly God is the Essence of Personhood and is also Three Persons in One. That means that God is Love. As God is Relationship, all aspects of the Universe involve relationship.

>> What does God require of Us?
To do justice, to love mercy, to be in constant and humble
relationship with God.
>>
>> What do you want from God?
To be in ever closer relationship with him.

>>My answers are somewhat glib because if I try to respond more fully I'll end up writing a book for each of the questions.
...Thanks Jim; my answers would be similar--yet not identical--Thanks for sharing!

The Atlantic: The Case Against Encouraging Polygamy Why civil marriage should not encompass group unions

" Where does the next advance come?" he asks in an essay at  Politico.  "Now that we've defined that love and devotion and family isn't driven by gender alone, why should it be limited to just two individuals? The most natural advance next for marriage lies in legalized polygamy.... Gay marriage remains illegal in Australia, most of Asia, Africa, and Oceania, and parts of Europe and Mexico; the most liberal of those countries strike me as the most natural places for "the next advance" of marriage. I'd urge my fellow gay-marriage proponents to focus their efforts there––and legalizing group marriage in America right now would strengthen the hands of gay-marriage opponents abroad, confirming slippery-slope arguments that were raised and rejected here. If it ever made sense to avoid this fight as a matter of political strategy, it still does; if gay marriage was ever a more important priority​ than plural marriage, it remains so." ~ Freddie de Boe...
