Quote:Divorce rates among conservative Christians were significantly higher than for other faith groups, and much higher than Atheists and Agnostics experience.

George Barna, president and founder of Barna Research Group, commented:

   "While it may be alarming to discover that born again Christians are more likely than others to experience a divorce, that pattern has been in place for quite some time. Even more disturbing, perhaps, is that when those individuals experience a divorce many of them feel their community of faith provides rejection rather than support and healing. But the research also raises questions regarding the effectiveness of how churches minister to families. The ultimate responsibility for a marriage belongs to the husband and wife, but the high incidence of divorce within the Christian community challenges the idea that churches provide truly practical and life-changing support for marriages."

Of course facts that don't agree with suppositions which must be true a priori can be dismissed as mistaken. (They prove it every time.)

uh . . . .


Christian marriage is indissoluble.  Their rate of divorce would therefore be zero.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Apparently we don't have an "oh, stop it, silly" emoji.  Undecided
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

True Christians® do have perfect marriages and are always happy.

That's why they don't get divorced.

Think I see the problem here.  He looks a little homo and she isn't wearing a strap-on.
