Ben- There are some people in Tibet who practice polyandry... often times the husbands are brothers and the marriage arrangement is to alleviate inheritance issues. Another benefit to polyandry is a relatively low birth-rate which is easier on resources available to the family.
I wouldn't be against having multiple husbands, as long as they were all cool with it and happy in the situation, I'm also not against people having multiple of any sort of spouse as long as all are consenting adults and all agree to the situation.
pothead- The mainstream Mormon church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), does not officially practice polygamy (not currently anyway), the practice ceased when Utah joined the union. And while some mainstream Mormons may think that polygamy should be legal, the practice is actually something one can get ex-communicated over.
There are split-off sects that are not affiliated with the mainstream Mormon church, the FLDS and others that practice polygamy. While it may seem to be all the same to you, it isn't... while they may use some of the same books they interpret them differently...
You may be familiar with this phenomena regarding the rest of Christianity, all religions mentioned seem to use the bible, but every one seems to have a different take on it.
