Uh, I wasn't the only one who noticed what you said:

To: patriciaruth

In my religion, only adultery is an accepted excuse for divorce, not murder. It's till death do we part, even if my husband kills me.

Thank you, that's a very good example of...well, never mind, it's a very good example though. :)

There is a long standing joke in many Christian churches:

When asked whether he had ever considered divorce, the husband replied, "Divorce?... no. Murder? ...yes"

That statement was an allusion to that old joke, and was a bit tongue in cheek.

Divorce is viewed as a big no-no, like murder.

That is why I do not understand why divorce has to be part of your plan to prevent husbands from turning off life support.

Because I view divorce as a sin against a promise made to God.

I always wonder at that phrase. If I were to advocate the creation of a gestapo that might haul you off in the middle of the night, could we just "agree to disagree"? Yet you are advocating legislation to interfere in people's marriages and seem to not have a clue what you're suggesting. I mean, I'm still curious how someone can serious suggest such a leftie notion on FR, so I hope you'll continue the discussion.
