| − | Why do Noam Chomsky, Jesus Christ, Benjamin Netanyahu and the guy from the Old Spice commercials disagree on divorce?

| − | The answer of course is, who cares? We are CHRISTIANS, and we follow CHRIST. Other people are entitlled to their opinions, but Jesus is the one who matters, and he wasn't ambiguous at all on the matter. I think that people who put so much emphasis on "Christian" divorce (as if there is such a thing) are simply trying to justify their own wandering lusts by finding a way to fornicate with others without the disapproval of their church communities.

| − | Also, the reason Moses agreed with divorce is that the Jews, being a slave people, we're used to being given a new slave wife by Pharoah every so often. When the slave generation died out during the 40 year exodus in the desert, the remaining people saw no need for divorcing, which is why Orthodox Jews today have a remarkably low divorce rate, compared to secular America. Note that this applies only to religious Jews; non-practicing Jews had no such success in marriage.

| | I disagree. Marriage is the key to a happy life. True love is being focused on being honorable, faithful and loving to your spouse. The Bible teaches us marriage is a good thing and encourages us to stay married. | | I disagree. Marriage is the key to a happy life.

| − | ::::"Some other religion?" Don't be an intellectual coward, only in an Islamic country will a woman be ostracized or put to death for not being a virgin on her wedding night. Christian societies, which believe that God will punish venal sins, and that man has no right to judge, do no such thing.
