She was obviously very sad & lonely and wanted to start a new relationship, but her religious beliefs kept her shackled to a life of misery. The sad part was that she accepted the double standard that it's not adultery for her ex-husband to marry someone else, but she wasn't allowed to.
Why worship a god that wants you to be miserable?
That's pretty messed up.
I'd look at it like this. The bible mentions that if you've lusted in your heart then it's as bad if you've actually done it in deed.
By that reasoning I've boinked about a million women by now. What's a few more, this time in real life?
It's all the same according to scripture.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
