It's possible for a moral, clear minded person to seek a divorce (or two) in their lifetime, and remain moral and clear minded.
Why is that so difficult to understand?
The difference between his divorces and Rush's is that Rush is a political and social commentator/entertainer with a somewhat obvious and somewhat loveable emotional neediness, and we can all imagine it might be tricky for him to pick the right woman, and it might be tricky for that woman to put up or keep up with Rush. I don't see him as having 100% great introspection on which woman would be a great partner for him. And he has no kids.
But I think that Dennis appears so informed and introspective of the relationships between the sexes that we do expect him to make the right choices and to put children's needs ahead of his own wants.
I have a teen boy about the age of his; of course that son is going to act tough and SAY that the divorce won't bother him. But now both his parents will probably take up with other people and his life will become very different. His parents will be oversexualizing, right when this boy needs to learn about more than just sex in male-female relationships. I do not think that because a child is a teen that his parents' marriage is meaningless in his psychosexual maturing.
Ya, and an honest taxpayer, good bridge player and someone who cuts his lawn regularly.
But the guy is a public speaker, preacher, polemicist. Would anyone listen to his spiel if he wasn't religious, or based on his theology? If he was just a psychologist, no one would listen to him, and he wouldnt have much to say. You don't have to be a theocrat, just not an obvious relativistic hypocrite, is all.
No way. I am sorry that cannot be true. The church excommunicates people for this the first time.
