It gets really acute if your holy book says Polygamy is OK and mine says it is a sin. How can we argue whether it is right or wrong at that point. What is the point of discussing it.

You didn't specify that the people were having to reach an agreement on it. You said just that they were having a discussion. Christ. Of course if you need people to agree on a topic, and the people feel that opinions on the topic must be based on morality, then either you need at least one of them not to mind doing something "wrong" or you need them to agree that the thing is right or wrong. But with all those caveats, your (previously broad) statement that people need to agree is completely meaningless. There can be only one answer.
God you are an idiot. This wall is too hard for my head on a Friday afternoon before a holiday weekend. Can't we talk about ass-fucking or something?
