And bitching? Ouch Vorlon. OK maybe I was but 'complaining' sounds better if you're talking about someone you like.
You do like me don't you?
well, you said it 'annoyed' you, so I thought you were (willingly) doing it.
Since I'm not currently monogamous (or whatever the word is for homos) (BTW, I have been willingly monogamous on occasion) monogamy doesn't 'annoy' me. I rather like lording the concept over the christers who chafe under it's restrictions, I also acknowledge you're not in that set.
Of late I have noted a profound sea change in the fundamentalist/evangelical world in their support of an open and notorious adulterer/serial monogamist for president (Trump). This was not a given in the past. In Ronald Reagan's campaign for president, the children from first wife Jane Wyman (Maureen and Micheal) were swept under the rug (nearly shoved under the bus, actually) so as not to offend the sensibilities of the religious folks Reagan felt he needed to pander to to get the nomination. As recently as Newt Gingrich's last run, he was strongly pressured to pledge fidelity to his (current) spouse (see my sarcastic take on that in my sig line) in exchange for evangelical/fundamentalist support. Apparently their eternal and unchanging God has nevertheless had a change of heart about marital fidelity and now this election cycle, it's OK to endorse Trump. I guess they are also not saying "but what about the children?" this time, LOL.
So, consider monogamy as something not to be put out by, but rather as yet another arrow in the quiver to bebother, vex, castigate, torment, and annoy (tee hee) the 'Christians' with.
and for the "Christians" reading this, I realize cracking a Bible is difficult these days, but go check Mark 10:11 for an absolutely stunning statement on divorce and remarriage from [drum roll] Jesus Christ, HIMSELF!! And if your reading and comprehension skills are up to snuff, suddenly, this previous incomprehensible post makes perfect sense. Praise Jesus.
I would also advise the "Christians" reading this that if the current denomination, sect or schism you're attending does in fact offer the sacrament of (re)marriage to divorced people, that is actually one of those pesky and mysterious 'clue' things you may have heard about but never knew what it meant. In this case it means you are NOT participating in The One True Faith, and you are therefore damned.
Glad to clear up so much there for you !!!!
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
