[W: 1134] Students Shout Their Abortions to Disrupt A Pro-Life Display. Pathetic.

I was just thinking about the small to midsized Catholic church I attended for 20 years. Maybe 100 or 150 families. Now admittedly I don't know everyone who attends, but in 20 years, I can only think of five couples who attended Mass regularly who divorced.

1. Matt and Sue. Matt was a non-Catholic. He left Sue and the three girls for another woman.
2. Bret and Suzanne: Don't know what happened. I didn't know them well.
3 Roger and Jan: He had an affair. She left.
4. Todd and Sherrie: She had an affair. Left him.
5. Couple who was only there for a short time. Renewed their vows very showily and publicly. Then split up.

That's it. Five out of a hundred or more. Two of the splits absolutely shocked me. Never suspected.

Christians have a higher divorce rate than many other religions. Amongst Christians, Evangelical Protestants have the highest. Atheists are at 2%, Catholics at 19%.

Anyone who thinks only 2% of atheist couples divorce is drunk. Nobody in their right mind believes that. Are we supposed to believe atheists regard the sanctity of marriage so devoutly, that they rarely divorce? I'm calling BS. They're more concerned where their next joint is coming from than they are about any marriage.

The facts belie your claims. Pew Research is a respectable company.

It’s very hard for a bot to see a bolded part of a post.

Looks like Mashmont is also blinded to bolded parts of a post.

He seems to have missed the bolded part...Most of the outrage was fake.

Maybe it’s because most of his outrage is fake... that would explain a lot.

Excellent insight Minnie.

Of course not...why should atheists regard anything with 'sanctity?' That's a belief tied to a religion. Please try to think about the words you use.

But of course they value their commitments to others, love other people deeply, and have loving, healthy, long-lasting relationships...married or not.

I'm sure you know that's ridiculous. Most atheists don't even believe in marriage. Many of them have emotional disorders or are alcoholic or drug abusers. The idea that they would be pristine in this ONE area is purely ludicrous. As you know.

Pew is leftwing. There is no way in hell only 2% of atheists divorce. I would stake my life on it.

In the other thread, vegas was accusing Mr. Rogers of hiring hookers. He supplied no evidence for that slander. Just despicable. All he does is troll.

Are you still in favor of imprisoning gays for being gay?


Talk about trolling.


Try posting some evidence once and a while like I do

Post where I said that. You can't, because you're lying.

But you absolutely did say this about Fred Rogers. Despicable. Here's the post:

Feel free to source any of the load of lying crap you just wrote.

Otherwise, just more completely imaginary and unfounded dogma that you have blindly swallowed whole.

OK, my instincts were right. You didn't know how to read the misleading Pew poll. The 2% comes from the fact that atheist divorces comprise 2% of all divorces according to PEW. That's astoundingly high since atheists make up four percent of the population. That tells you the atheist divorce rate is inordinately HIGH. Just as Mashmont suspected.

PEW is banking on leftwing dunces not reading the wording of its polls.

Nice that the 'Christian' Lursa is complaining about imaginary beings and unfounded dogma. Very telling. But I already busted your claim. The 2% represented atheist divorces as a ratio of ALL divorces. It's 2% because there are only a very few atheist fringe nuts. But when you see atheists comprise only 4% of the US population, their divorce rate is astoundingly high. Just as Mashmont surmised.
 
Still waiting for MM to support this with anything rational at all, altho links or statistics would be nice:

It's a commitment issue. There's always an undercurrent that things could break up. The kids feel that.

Lursa said:
Nope...that's just your personal BS-dogmatically programmed answer.

Because even in marriages, as stated, things could break up and everyone knows it. All kids know about divorce.

Let's see your answer...how are children emotionally/behaviorally harmed by committed relationships that dont have a piece of paper from the govt recognizing the relationship?

No I am not.

Link where I said gays should be imprisoned. You can't. You made it up. Just like you made it up when you accused Fred Rogers of hiring prostitutes. Sickening.
