It is just absolutely freaking amazing at the 180 degree shift on adultery I have seen during just my lifetime in this country from the religious folks.
Adultery, divorce, remarriage, VERBOTEN !! It was all established moral law, if you will. A societal norm and bedrock principal of day to day family life. [period]
I had no classmates, K-12 living with a divorced/remarried parent(s) while I was growing up. It was unheard of. I know I have cited Princess Margaret's statement on Group Captain Townsend in the early 60s, and that was just the way things were*. People didn't think about that being an option. And in just a few decades, it has gone from rare rare rare, to as common as common can be.
And leading the way; CHRISTIANS !!! Why in the holy fuck would they change something so BIG, so FAST ??? And not strip their mental gears doing it ???
*People today reading about the 'affair' are confused and bewildered. They think there was skullduggery afoot to deprive Princess Margaret of her choice of spouse!! There was no skullduggery at all, it was an OPEN SCANDAL! Laid bare for the world to see. Same with Edward and Wallis, people have no idea marital vows were EVER taken seriously!!
On the subject of divorce, isn't it only bad if a woman remarries, since a man is permitted to have as many wives as he wants?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
