The problem I have with this assertion is that many of the women were already married to another man! It seems like you guys just make up reasons why polygamy was allowable by these men. Why didn't other, non-Mormon communities adopt polygamy for the same reason?

Don't you see the contradictions here? You say that there were not enough women to go around, but here you show how a woman divorces her husband and takes the children away from her true husband, to be joined to Brigham Young. Jesus taught that this was adultery. Then you say that Brigham tried to talk her out of it, but one has to wonder about that if Brigham married her. The deception here is so blatant, but if you are submitted to the deceivers you just can't see it. Please take note that you just proved by your statment here that Brigham Young was an adulterer, because Jesus taught that if a man marries someone who is divorced, he commits adultery (Luke 16:18).
