Prescinding from out-of-wedlock procreation…

Children are not getting married. Why?

A child depends on the parents for or just religious formation. but for modeling appropriate behavior.

Let’s go to the tote board to see how married folks are modeling behavior.

Divorce is THE most destructive element to the family and society….more than the gays, more than Ukraine, more than Soros. It is clear, yet few rail against divorce anymore.

Why? Marriage isn’t considered an irreversible bond in our culture anymore. The Commandments are no longer binding. Going to hell for sex outside of marriage is a figment of the imagination. God will forgive you; actually God is a woman…

The progressive era and the advent of socialism brought on by the Depression got that started. Marriage became disposable…it is reversible, it can be undone. It’s caustic to women, and quoth Marx and Engels, “(t)he bourgeois sees his wife as a mere instrument of production. He hears that the instruments of production are to be exploited in common, and, naturally, can come to no other conclusion than that the lot of being common to all will likewise fall to the women.”

Don’t worry son or daughter….you don’t need to do much discernment because you can always lawyer up like mom and dad did. Oh, and friends and family will happily applaud like a circus seal if you dump your spouse. There are Facebook groups and all kinds of social outlets geared toward starting life anew. Indeed, half of your friends and family are also in a state of mortal sin-it’s not like they’ll tell you to save your soul and work out the problem.

Then we have “research” showing that the kids turn out ok because they don’t see Mom and Dad fighting, that single parenthood can be good for the kids self-esteem, and other nonsense.

Sure…and the shots are safe and effective. Marx and Engels are smiling in hell.

I get that some spouses are tough, and there is mental illness and substance abuse. Guess what? That all existed prior to 1934. Divorce was shameful. It was a one-way ticket to hell. People worked out their problems. The same mindset that says “I’m against divorce except for cases of ____” is the same demonic mindset that says “I’m against abortion except in cases of _____.”

Where did the kids learn of this hypocrisy? Mom and Dad. Thou Shalt Not isn’t negotiable.

Many folks are sure riled up by abortion, 5 year olds getting reassignment surgery, and so on. Fair enough. However, almost every time I turn the mirror and point to divorce as THE primary driver of societal collapse and amorality, I get crickets.

We need to get people into a pre-1934 marriage mindset. From there, children can grow up in a home that isn’t lead by hypocrites, where religion is seen as VITAL as opposed to a buffet where they can pick and choose morality.

Divorce, as a destructive factor, pales in comparison with the impact of illegitimacy (out-of-wedlock children) in society in general, but among Blacks in particular.

The statistics bear this out.

While I agree with this statement to a large extent, important ingredients that were present in 1934 are no longer even legal. Such as: spanking misbehavior in children. Obedience to authority in schools. Widespread religious attendance; hence a more unified set of cultural values. Clear roles for males and females. Extended family living nearby who would help with the children and some of the chores, and who could beat the crap out of abusers. People stayed nearby, withiout superhighways and applications to faraway colleges and worksites out of a sense of adventure rather than necessity. There was also an ABSENCE of affluence, of easy "cures" for VD or an "out" from pregnancy, so that more people felt the need to restrain their own behavior.

Otherwise, wonderful post overall.
