Cause Christians ain't Christians any more. Now they're just Christians™
Every five years, the Christians™ keep lowering their standards.
They allowed divorce
Then, they allowed interracial
Then, they allowed Homosexuals
Now, they're allowing anyone as long as they tithe. (tax free)
Organized religion is a scam that keeps changing with the times.
God's probably pissed, right? Unless the Bible is wrong. Right??

Gothmog, #2 is wrong. When a man and woman marry, the 2 become 1. When one is a Christian and the other is not, when the other dies, they die a Christian. THAT is how loving and lawful GOD IS.
15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace.

Old Testament God is a real prick tho but he allows divorce, if you're a man.
John 8: 1-11 (NIV)
1 ... but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.
3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group
4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?”
6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.
7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.
10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

Only IF it works out and the spouse shows no legitimate reason for a divorce
The post was about the legitimacy of divorce in Church , yes ?
Not the legitimacy of a marriage .
I rest my case
