Does God Allow Divorce?

[agchristie]

Apparently in certain circumstances - but what are they?

In a strict Bible sense both sexual immorality and abandonment are the two referred to but of course there are many other reasons and if marriage is untenable then no other option is open to you.

Not heard of him/her/it putting in an objection yet.

No god allows or stops anything.

The mythical "god" creation is just man putting some "religious rules" in place in the name of their so called god.

Of course many times these "rules" are just plain stupid, but then they are created by man, but sadly then seem to be "set in stone".

And of course when the people from one religion do something another religion does not like we get murder, war, torture and so on.

And of course under the "cloak" of religion priests can molest children, and then get protected by their bosses.

The "joys" or religion.

Religion is just one big scam, in fact the biggest scam in the world (there is not a single proof of any of fit) but people still follow it for some reason.

Before God became 'The Almighty' he was in possession of a wife. Unfortunately for her, when he rose in the ranks she disappeared. Whether he divorced her, or kept her hidden away tied to the kitchen sink, is anyone's guess.

God allows divorce when attention is diverted elsewhere by matters earthly on this wee ball of rock that, for all that exists in the rest of the universe, occupies every thought word and deed of the deity to the exclusion of everywhere else.

Yup, THAT'S how completely ridiculous, assinine and childish the whole belief system is.

I've had a few beers.

Which might explain why he's not a soft touch. Why? Well, he's never had to wash up with Fairy Liquid ;)

Douglas > I've had a few beers.

Careful! The good lord may insist on a breathyliser.

[Mamyalynne]

Nowt wrong with a tipple or three.

[agchristie]

Mamya, true, but Douglas doesn't do anything by halves ;)

[Mamyalynne]

Nor would I expect him to.


Seriously the days of being ostracised at Church by either the Priest or congregation is more or less gone (can't count for the few very old school) equally at one time you weren't supposed to take Communion if you were divorced either.

Things do move on and there's always the Confessional. ;-)

True dat, 500ml bottles of Deuchars tonight, available in Aldi for £1.35/bottle.

Delicious, nutritious and fortifying. :-)

[agchristie]

Douglas, no spelling mistakes - you've passed and not divorced from reality ;)

[douglas9401]

Amen to that. :-D

I think VHG has given the true answer.

[Mamyalynne]

The true answer about divorce?


You think?

[Mamyalynne]

I am obviously reading the wrong question.

[naomi24]

As I read it God didn’t allow divorce ……

//Let marriage be held in honour among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. Hebrews 13:4 //

….but his premier spokesmen, Moses and Jesus, did – for infidelity.

ag, I wasn’t joking about God’s wife. Well, ok, I don’t really think God has a kitchen sink, but she was relegated to the realms of obscurity.

[waterboatman]

Which god would that be?

[DTCwordfan]

that's an assumption that God is a male, ummmm. God could be a woman and living in a lesbian relationship.....

[DTCwordfan]

sorry naomi!!! had just made a comment to ummmm on GMEB!
