And what of those EXTREMELY clear (classical) marital vows ??
What undoes something likely that freely entered into, in a church, before God and congregation ??
The marriage vow can be anything you want it to be.It's a state ceremony, after all. "By the power invested in me by the STATE of California I now pronounce you man and wife."
"Do you, Rhonda Johnson, promise to take this man...until you find out what an asshole he is?" And I can't find out until after I say "I do."
Isn't gambling one of the 7 deadly sins?
People write their own vows frequently, but many use the classic 'till death us do part, what god has put together, let no man put asunder' but even the classic version apparently has a hidden asterisk that leads to an additional clause:
no, no not really, we don't really mean it, and even though we are promising such things, in a CHURCH, before GOD, we aren't taking it very seriously BECAUSE the church itself ISN'T TAKING IT SERIOUSLY EITHER, FUCK YOU JESUS AND YOUR SILLY IDEAS, WE KNOW BETTER THAN YOU.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
