Should divorce be outlawed?

[LeNinjaChic]

I'm not talking out of two sides of my mouth. I just beleive that if the person wants something bad, they deserve it, if they want something good, they deserve it. I would like divorce outlawed to reduce the stupid peoples marriage decisions that end in divorce. Make the penalty high enough, and the problem will be solved.

Feather...I am not sure how old you are, but whether you are a teen, in your 20's, or older, I hope you learn sooner than later that life is not so black and white.

Outlawing divorce would create more problems than it would solve.

Aside from that, it is a fact of life that bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad people. That's just the way it is.

 

[Featherbop]

Never.

 

[Featherbop]

Maybe...

 

[LeNinjaChic]

I think outlawing divorce would have some horrible effects, but in the end, it would purge the country of divorce and stupidity relating to marriage and "love".

Isn't that better than letting a problem go on forever.

Except that your 'solution' is not that simple, because the 'problem' itself is not that simple.

If outlawing divorce would lower the divorce rate, they probably would have done that by now.

They have outlawed murder...did that decrease the number of murders that have taken place over the years? By the same token, while they may not get a divorce, "on paper," people would simple either quit getting married and live together, or else there would be a 200 fold increase in adultry.

 

[Featherbop]

This...was...

 

[LeNinjaChic]

Maybe....

Oh and outlawing murder does decrease the murder amount. If people could murder anyone, anytime, for any reason, it'd happen 1000 times more often I'm sure.

I've got a better idea. Instead of outlawing divorce, make it very difficult to get married. That'd probably be better I think. People would be forced to work hard on getting a marriage.

See....now I think you may be onto something.....

 

[Featherbop]

Yes, this idea is better.

 

[witchy_womyn]

2 words for you Featherbop...

SEEK HELP!!!

 

[Featherbop]

Two new words for you.

I apologize.

So does that mean you think all the newly married gay couples will stay together forever because of how hard they had to work to get married?

I'm convinced that featherbrain doesn't really believe in the things he pretends to support. He just likes to argue.

There's a reason for that particular spelling of my screen name feather. So don't get all puffed up with yourself about catching my "typo". I wasn't trying to flame you earlier either, in fact, I was trying not to flame you. I was being kind, as I am now. Let me apologize in advance if I offend you with any of my "little posts".

I sincerely hope that every decision you make in life works out in your favor so you won't need to back out. You know, like marriage.

I'm sorry I made the insinuation that you are a pre-teen, but I was led to think that by the maturity level of your posts. I guess I misread your character. But with the way you think, I should have never made that mistake in the first place. I guess you'll just have to live with the fact that I judged you since in your opinion we need to accept the way we are treated by others with no way out. SO...you must continue to post idiotic comments in this thread and continue to be attacked by others because you knew it would happen when you started. You are not allowed to change your attitude and you are not allowed to ignore the thread. (That would be too much like divorce)
Me, on the other hand, will make this my last post here so any reply you make will go unread by me because I choose to ignore it and take the "exit policy" that you would so happily deny others.

You're a freak.

 

[Featherbop]

One should not respond to another's immaturity,
or he will only reveal his own.

Divorce

As far as I understand the bible says you should leave your spouse if they are unfaithful (read adultry). I also found a book titled the Lost Books of the Bible and the forgotten Books of Eden. Within this book the shepard Hermas is told by the Angel of repentance (see Commands of Hermas IV) Anyhow within this command it says that if you are aware your spouse is adultrus and continue to live with them...you partake in their sin. so you must leave your mate in this instance. this command also states that if your adultrus spouse decides to repent of their sin
then you must accept them back if you dont then your guilty of a great sin. :angel: :angel: Auriga

If my hubby cheated on me, I wouldn't hesitate to leave him! Not at all. He'd be out that door so fast that he wouldn't know what was happening.

 

[Guest]

adulterers can apologize and you should forgive them,but
you don't have to take them back. Infidelity is forgivable,but God
doesn't force us to stay with someone who does it to us.
Thats our choice,and it's not wrong to choose to divorce in this case.

While I would not support Divorce becoming illegal, I would not advocate it for the "convienance" it is used for today.

I can't imagine cheating on my future wife or abusing her. When I said I do, I promised to love, honor, and cherish in better or worse until I die. Why would I do such a thing to the woman God has blessed me with? I am waiting earnestly and if God is to bless me with a wife, who am I to abuse such a gift.

 

[Sophistress]

If you don't agree with divorce, then don't divorce. But don't tell other people how to live their lives, or how you want them to live their lives. I bet Featherbop/Darck Marck is the type of person who blabs on about "land of the free" as well.:

On another note, I wonder if Featherbop, or whatever he's calling himself now, still believes that women who knowingly marry abusive men "deserve" their beatings.

I agree with you Brutus,and it shouldn't be the first thing you
do just over an argument,or things not so serious.
I just recently found out that my husband had other women in his
work truck with him all through out the years he was working for
this oil company. He's an industrial mechanic,and most of the women
were secretary's or clerks. The last one broke up a marriage including
her own to cheat with a married man at work,and he told his wife it was
part of his job just like my husband is telling me now.
I never knew this was happening at all,the whole time we have been
married. He left me alone most of the time,and hardly ever gave me
any attention during our marriage. he just always said he was never
that affectionate. I don't know for a fact that he cheated on me,but years
back,he did make some passes at my sister before he was saved.
After he was saved he still did unkind things,but I didn't really think he
would take it too far.
Right now I just went back to College,and I am asking God to reveal the
truth to me. Thats how I found out that he was keeping things about his
job from me. He was on the commity where he works and never told me
that. when I found out,he had already been on it for a year. I thought
it shouldn't be that big of a deal to tell me something as little as that.
He said he didn't think it was important. The fact is,he has always told me
very little about his job,and I never questioned it before until recently
when his behavior turned even worse. The signs that he was straying away
from God should have been a big clue,but as christians we try not to judge
after all,some of us need more time,and some of us grow faster than
others. I just feel that divorce should be allowed when things are so
painful as in cheating,ect.... that it hurts to bad to stay in the marriage.

Blueeyeliner,

I'm so sorry to hear about your marriage. And it's not like you can accuse him since you don't have "proof" that he's done something. That would drive me insane to be in your position because I'd want to accuse him and more than likely kick him out, but what if I was wrong and he didn't really DO anything, you know? I'll be praying for you that the truth is revealed.

I would also be making some surprise visits to his work about the time that he would be getting off of work.

 

[Guest]

Thank you very much for your prayers and support Nikki!!!!
I really need it so much. I thought about going out to where he works,
but it is such a long drive. They are all isolated out there miles from town
and it's not easy to find it.
