Would you vote to ban Divorce ?

[polm]

accroding to the New Testament except for unfaithfulness, that divorce is not allowed. And that if that man then goes on to marry again he is committing adultery, and thus voilating not only Jesus' word, but the 1 of the 10 commandments.

Divorce is awful on society as a whole , right ? It leaves broken families, and is certainly a casue for great instability.

It is banned by the NT so I imagine for many of you that would be enough, right ?

So tell me, if their was a vote to Ban Divorce , would you vote for it ?

 

[Pliablemoose]

No, the murder rates would rise very quickly...

 

[assemblage]

No. Shouldn't this be a poll? Or are you going to tally them all up for us?

You can stop there. Religion should not be used as a sole reason for making law.


Yes this is a conservative republican saying this.

For once conjur and I can agree....

C'mon in here buddy, and lets agree for once!!

 

[Valvoline6]

This conservative republican says NO. Not a good idea to force 2 people who hate each other stay under 1 roof. lol

 

[Harvey]

This liberal Democrat agrees with that conservative Republican. Too bad that other bogus conservative is still prez. :frown:

 

[wkabel23]

Who voted yes and what's their reasoning?

Should be interesting to hear...

 

[DanJ]

Taking away the rights of those in the minority is a lot easier. And people like that.

Don't you see!!! :disgust:

If we live in a society ruled by the Bible, I would vote to ban Divorce because that is how it is stated in Bible.

Luckily we don't.

 

[SpunkyJones]

Ban alimony, not marriage.

 

[Geekbabe]

no,the bill for new prisons would be huge if we did.

 

[Engineer]

"Marriage Protection Act"?

 

[Drift3r]

I see what you are saying. Those who condemn gay marriage but not divorce using religion ( especially the Bible ) are hypocrites. Using the Bible one could easily say that divorce destroys the sanctity of marriage just like gay marriage. The Bible does not condone divorce and in fact forbids it. It "Till Death Do You Part" all the way to the bitter end.

 

[Schadenfroh]

It is banned by the bible

news to me

Deuteronomy 24:1, King James Version - "When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. "

 

[polm]

shiz, I can't beleive I did that. I meant NT and I called it Bible. Sorry, I'll change it in the OP.

good greif, I feel kinda bad for that. Being Jewish and all.

PSA: In the Bible (Torah) it is completely acceptible to get a divorce (Get) . Sorry for the mistake.

 

[fallenangel99]

nope. no way divorce or adultery will be illegal/banned... you know why? cuz republicans do it also..

If we live in a society ruled by the Bible, I would vote to ban George W. Bush because the bible says, "Thou shalt not bear false witness." :|

 

[her209]

It will be called the No Couple Left Behind Act.

 

[EagleKeeper]

The bible should not be interpreted as a literal law.

At best it should be guidelines for those that need it as a crutch.

Look what the redical Muslims are doing with the Koran.

Much that is written in the bible is based on what people wanted to believe.

 

[daveshel]

Why don't we ban sex altogether? That would solve most of our problems. No more teen pregnancy, abortion, marriage of any type, or divorce. The murder rate would go way down... or would it go up?

I understand your point and wish to add to it, all the women I know to have had abortions, 3 of the 4 are republicans.

same with abortion, and in some cases gays (not a ban on gay marrage, but participating in sex with the opposite sex) (all the gay people on my moms side of the family are republican and bush supporters (2 that i know of), i know WTF)

Fsck the Bible and those who try to force it down our throats
