just been looking at divorce rates for different belief systems and it looks like the odds are looking good for me and my atheist brothers and sisters. other than hindu's we have the lowest divorce rate!! of the christian faiths the j.w's had the worst!!
but im not here to gloat (well maybe a little gloating wont hurt). but shouldnt the stats should be the other way around. doesnt god frown upon divorce???? whats going on christians, why are you guys struggling in your marriages??

i also wonder how christians getting divorced reconcile their high falutin morals with the fact they are destroying their childrens lives.

Originally posted by stellspalfieIt’s common to hear people say that Christians have the same divorce rate as non-Christians. In fact, most people believe this is an established fact. When digging deeper, however, this turns out to be false, at least when we’re talking about practicing Christians. Religious practice, not religious affiliation, makes the crucial difference.

Originally posted by twhiteheadmy apologies, if my generalizations seemed critical of your personal circumstance. my wording was not particularly sensitive, but it was meant as a general statement about divorce and not a critique of each individual case. there are no doubt many cases in which divorce is the correct thing to do but in 'general' its still lose-lose for the kids, divorce maybe the lesser of two evils in some senarios but its still going to leave the majority of kids with huge issues for the rest of their lives.
