The Parable of the Long Spoons is an Advocacy for Polyamory and Polygamy

This is a short debate that is impossible to accept in order to screen out people who forfeit or will troll. If you would like to accept this debate, either PM me or leave a comment in the comments section, thank you. BackgroundThe Parable of the Long Spoons is typically cited as a compelling vision of what constitutes heaven and hell. The idea is that heaven and hell are both very similar in that there is a banquet table with more than enough food to feed everyone, but people cannot feed themselves for whatever reason (depends upon the culture, the title attributes the reason to long spoons that people cannot use to feed themselves). In heaven, people overcome their own limitations by helping each other, and thus everyone is fed. In hell, people only focus on their own self-interest and so there is suffering and anguish amidst a bountiful feast. Obviously this parable is not just about food, and has far ranging implications on moral action. I will argue that taken to its logical conclusion, a philosophy stemming from this parable will condone unrestricted polyamory and polygamy - in fact, to remain consistent with the vision of the parable, the philosophy would actually advocate for public, mass orgies as opposed to private sexual encounters, which according to this philosophy would be the epitome of sinful action. I will attempt to paint such a picture in a morally compelling fashion; this morality will not be restricted to any religious creed. My main goal in this debate is to demonstrate the inherent contradictions in coming up with an absolute moral creed of any sort as is typical of any institutionalized religion. Polyamory and especially polygamy is typically considered a capital sin/crime in many religions and societies throughout history, and IMHO to any extent that those societies accept and advocate for the core message of this parable, those societies suffer from errors in judgment and moral consistency. ResolutionThe Parable of the Long Spoons is an Advocacy for Polyamory and PolygamyNote that this debate is not about affirming whether or not the parable describes a valid moral vision. This debate is only about exploring the implications of this vision, in this specific case, the implications on sexual relations. .. regardless of the parable's validity. I would imagine that those that are convinced of my argumentation would have to think twice about the message of this parable and whether or not it actually describes a compelling moral code. Those that conclude that the moral vision inherent in this parable is invalid would consider this debate to be an instance of exposing an reductio ad absurdum in the parable's message. Those that find that the moral vision is valid would instead conclude that unrestricted romantic and sexual relations is the preferred and moral form of sexual expression, thus rendering monogamy to be "sinful".
