Unlike our lower primate relatives we can choose to be monogamousHumans aren't exactly monogamousHe did; King David wrote a hymn about it.But in the OT he did enlist people to bring his message to others.Not at all. I have no idea how you even made that leap in logic. God didn't enlist me and I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I am defending my beliefs from attacks from others.So now you're comparing yourself to Moses and the others that god allegedly spoke to?God didn't enlist me and I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything.I always wondered by any god would have to enlist humans to convince other people to believe in him.GOD selected a representative group that were suppose to be the beacon of GOD (HIS representatives/missionaries) to the other nations. And in fact Joseph would be GOD's emissary the the nation of EGYPT, Solomon would influence the surrounding kingdoms, as Daniel would be the the emissary to BABYLON, and Ezekiel the PERSIANS, etc... This group would be the linage of the MESSIAH --- who would make salvation possible for the entire world.
Why not just appear to everyone at the same time ?

If he was indeed all powerful why did he have to send Moses the 10 Commandments? Why not just appear to everyone on the entire planet and declare himself?
The nations were happy eating pork and committing adultery.
Wrong.
Eating pork is not a sin and is a good idea as long as you cook it sufficiently.
And there is not any other primate that is monogamous.
There is no benefit to being monogamous or any reason at all to assume humans are or should be monogamous.
It should be clear God made no such edicts, and those claiming he did are just liars.
Exactly.
If you believe in Evolution, (and everyone should), then you look to ancestor primates to see how humans should naturally be.
And guess what, there is not a single monogamous primate.
So there is no way humans could or should be monogamous.
Our ability to apply intellect in order to regulate our behavior is what separates us from lower primates
