Divorce, wingnut-style.


It occurs to me that any fundamentalist dingbat religious organization that plans on offering advice on the issue of divorce might have some serious 'splainin' to do:

Divorce rates among conservative Christians were significently [sic] higher than for other faith groups, and for Atheists and Agnostics...

"While it may be alarming to discover that born again Christians are more likely than others to experience a divorce, that pattern has been in place for quite some time. Even more disturbing, perhaps, is that when those individuals experience a divorce many of them feel their community of faith provides rejection rather than support and healing. But the research also raises questions regarding the effectiveness of how churches minister to families. The ultimate responsibility for a marriage belongs to the husband and wife, but the high incidence of divorce within the Christian community challenges the idea that churches provide truly practical and life-changing support for marriages."

No. Say it ain't so.

Gosh. You mean people who are more likely to marry instead of just living together get divorced more? I find that hard to believe! Next thing you'll tell me is that people who drive cars are more likely to buy gas than those who ride bikes.

Moron.

Wow ... based on comments section on other postings here, you have been one busy little wingnut.

I'm assuming that, in your remedial math courses, you haven't hit the chapter on "percentages" yet. Let us all know when that happens.

P.S. I'm assuming the entire concept of "per capita" is probably lost on you as well.

His 3rd wife divorced him a few days ago, and he's still reeling.
