		<description>The experience of teaching the parables to preschoolers is something that stays with you.  One of the lessons I distinctly remember is Jesus telling his listeners that it isn&#039;t their job to separate the wheat from the chaff -- it&#039;s God&#039;s job, and no one else&#039;s, to punish sinners.

Strangely enough, that is the one Bible passage that Christian fundamentalists never seem to quote.</description>

		<description>Matthew 5:32 &quot;But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.&quot;

That wasn&#039;t said by paul or peter or some unknown desert freak in leviticus, the big JC, Jesus himself called divorce an abomination.

JC says nothing about homosexuality or abortion, but he&#039;s pretty clear on divorce, that and his 10,000 direct orders to help the poor.

I wonder. How many politicians supported by evangelicals are divoced?  Aren&#039;t the majority of them committing adultery and destined for hell?  

Or is it that the bible is only a tool for hatred to these charlatans?  Why do folowers of a prophet who preached against wealth and personal property wear such expensive suits?

Corinthians 2:17 &quot;For we are not like so many others, hucksters who peddle the word of God for profit&quot;</description>

		<description>Well, like the quote from the book points out, it&#039;s different for everyone. Even in a &quot;low-conflict&quot; situation, it&#039;s possible children may be negatively affected by parents who are in an unhappy marriage, even if they&#039;re not screaming and throwing things. It may be a loveless marriage in which the parents are cold and little more than civil to each other. 

My experience is that children pick up on even they&#039;re parents&#039; unspoken emotions, and respond to them. And if it&#039;s not explained to them, they may assume their parents&#039; unhappiness is somehow due to them. (Particularly if the parents are obviously unhappy, but staying together &quot;for the kids.&quot;) 

Some kids, though, may be unaffected by it all. That&#039;s the point. Each circumstance is different, because of the individuals involved. That&#039;s why making hard, fast rules and trying to apply to to everyone in every situation. Which is what the wingers are trying to do.</description>

		<description>For children in &quot;high-conflict&quot; marriages that might be true.  What about those from &quot;low-conflict&quot; marriages situations?  I&#039;ve heard of some studies (that I can&#039;t reference them at the moment) that in some cases &quot;for the kids&quot; may be a rational reason to stay together.  

I often wonder how I might be different if my parents stayed married.  There was, as far as I know, no fighting and it wasn&#039;t a &quot;high-conflict&quot; situation.  In fact my parents stayed close friends, until my Dad&#039;s re-marriage, in part due to my post-divorce behavior.</description>

		<description>“When we send a message that one can up and leave their family and have no consequence, the Old Dominion is encouraging divorce.” 

No consequence?  Do they really think there are no consequences?  I can&#039;t imaging a situation where one parent abandoning their family leads to no consequence.  Such a thing brings pain and damage to all involved, including the one who left.  We don&#039;t need the religious right to make up artificial consequences in a situation like that.  The world is crumbling for all involved.  

It seems to me that this shows an enormous lack of faith in their god.  Creating consequences through laws to punish those they see as less moral than they are, because otherwise those sinners might &quot;get away with it&quot; demonstrates an incredible arrogance on their behalf.  Do they seem to think they better act quick because God isn&#039;t doing anything?  Or won&#039;t?  If they believe so strongly in this god of theirs, do they think He&#039;s too weak to handle it Himself?

I wish they would focus on something else.  Can&#039;t they get behind something like domestic abuse?  Poverty?  Something besides this desire to create a Stepford utopia?  Creeps me out and pisses me off, that&#039;s what it does.</description>

		<description>That &quot;staying together for the children&quot; thing is such bollocks.  My parents divorced when I was 29, after my youngest sister left home, and it still hurt like hell.  Putting it off doesn&#039;t make that part any easier.</description>
