Fundamentalist Christians say the darndest things.
Bull. There was a literal crucifixion and a literal resurrection. And unless the stiff-necked crowd repents and receives Christ as their Lord and Savior for the remission of their sins, there is a high probability they will drop down into a literal Hell.
Be forewarned.

Yes, people were forced to stay in abusive and broken relationships or they simply left without getting a divorce, which wouldn't be in your statistics. In order to get a divorce back then, you had to prove that the relationship was abusive (which was harder than people may believe, since it wasn't even considered rape to have sex with your wife if she didn't want to) or there was adultery (which might not even matter if you were a woman). Plus, there weren't many options for divorced women afterward, so they didn't have much choice even if they could prove these things.
Do you also think there was a literal man swallowed by a fish and a literal talking snake?
So you agree with deuce that the institution of marriage has always been ****ed up.
Firstly, not a lefty, and Yes I do read and you have skirted the question over and over.
Does it harm you? Yes or No?

Forced!!?? Continue denying the ill effects of divorce on our society, its comical. Interesting that the marriage Institute isn't harmed, but its always been ****ed up.
What you forget my left wing friend if you have faith anything is possible.

I only calls em as I sees em...........Why are you so ashamed of being a left winger. Your posts give you away.
Let us test that theory.
I have faith you will wake up tomorrow a tree huggin, gay lovin, liberal hippy.
So let me see:
I support gay marriage
I support gun rights
I support the death penalty
I support low taxation
I support Obamacare
I oppose racial bigotry
I oppose religious zealots of any creed be they; Christian, Muslim or Crazy Looney God is My Dog, variety
I oppose US military intervention in Middle East
I support US military intervention in Asia, to contain China & N. Korea
That a mixed enough bag?
Dahum, I really am all messed up LMAO

NP, you think anyone who disagrees with you is a lefty. I've seen you call some OBVIOUS right wingers, lefties, just because they disagreed with you.
This in itself could probably be a separate thread.
One of the problems that we are experiencing as the nation and politics becomes more polarized, is the increasing intolerance any anything in the middle. The whole SSM issue is a great case in point.
You can't agree with SSM that since it brands you as a lefty
You can't agree with the death penalty since it brands you as a right winger
Many now (Navy Pride, you seem to be one) can't accept that many of us have a mixed bag of thoughts, beliefs and ideology. There was a time when political parties, both Republican & Democrat could cater to a diverse set of beliefs.
Sadly no more. To use the cable TV analogy, to get the one channel you want, you need to subscribe to 500 channels of total garbage.
Now in some respects I blame media, the internet. We can watch, associate with an environment which only supports our own personal views. Read the Bias in the Media forum to get my point!
If I don't agree with it, it's WRONG WRONG WRONG. Shouting is the hallmark of talk radio and the entertainment sometimes called CNN, Fox News, & MSNBC and it in some ways validates the opinions of those who can't accept there are alternate views of society.
NP in your mind I may be a lefty, I've also been called a right winger, which in my mind is a badge of honor, telling me; I have a brain and can decide issues individually, not on some herd mentality
So you agree with deuce that the institution of marriage has always been ****ed up.
It has always had its flaws, but those are outweighed easily by its advantages, especially now.

Marriage has always been flawed, but in history there were conditions that masked that:
1. People died at a much younger age, a bad marriage was solved by early death!
2. There was a financial issue, especially for women, that they needed to survive, and marriage was a way to do that
3. Kids, once again women (generally) were the one's who felt responsible for their children's survival
4. Divorce was for many western societies either illegal, or so difficult that it was impossible for a normal individual
I don't believe that humans, or human relationships have changed. What may have changed is the social and legal recognition of the human condition.
Apparently you believe in a flat disc earth with a dome over it and underneath was Sheol. That's what the writers of the OT described.
You joke now but someday when you meet your maker you won't be joking my left wing friend.
