Few are condemning polyamory as immoral because it isn't.

this article is focusing on 'sex', which is merely slacious. The polyamorists are not focusing on sex but rather on love.

There is nothing wrong with love. It's what the world needs a lot more of. Now.

Assemblies of God International Fellowship is not the assemblies of god in Springfield, MO it is small independent denomination according to their website "Our distinct and united testimony as a recognizable fellowship dates back to a regional gathering of Full Gospel ministers held in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1922. that meeting resulted in a unanimous desire and decision to be recognized as a fellowship of independent churches. Co-existent with our group were the Scandinavian Independent Assemblies, an incorporated unit. Their cooperative effort dated back to the early outpourings of the Holy Spirit particularly in the Mid-western part of the U.S." the author is deceptive in implying that ag is supporting the televangelists

Let me quote Saint Augustine:
Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars and even their sizes and distances, . . . and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, lest the unbeliever see only ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn."
- St. Augustine, "De Genesi ad litteram libri duodecim"

"It's Magic!" is not a valid scientific hypothesis.

As Isaac Asimov once said, I don't care what intellectual perversions consenting adults get up to in the privacy of their own bedrooms, but they shouldn't try to inflict them on innocent children.

It's sad and pathetic that churches feel the need to resort to fearmongering to gain converts and keep people in line. What sort of morality is found in one who is good merely to avoid punishment, or to gain reward? Morality is doing right because it *is* right.
