Rep. John Hostettler told area clergy that divorce on demand is as dangerous as gay marriage, and pastors' actions will be key to strengthening all Indiana families.
[...]
"The picture of marriage is the picture of Christian salvation," said Hostettler, who describes his elected office as a ministry. "Any diminishing of that notion - whether homosexual marriage or any other degradation of marriage - is something we must fight in public policy."
[...]
While Hostettler's comments energized the group, laws governing marriage are rooted primarily at the state level. Enter the Indiana Family Institute [a nonprofit with close ties to Focus on the Family] and its lobbying efforts to strengthen state law's stances on family.
Okay, I'm going to make this very simple. Unless we are willing to make it much more difficult to get married by requiring extensive relationship counseling before issuing marriage licenses, making it harder to get divorced is going to put people in danger.
Most people who get divorced have very good reasons for doing so, and citing irreconcilable differences is their way of not airing it out in public.
We let any ass-tard with $25 get a marriage license in Oklahoma, and that's the reason we have one of the highest divorce rates in the country.
Alas, as a society, we'll never make it harder to get married. Getting married is a right and the whole basis for society if you ask John Hostettler.
It's the same fundamental problem that we have with the abortion debate. Yes, abortion is evil and abhorrent, but the right also wants to outlaw the steps we take to cause the number of unwanted pregnancies to go down. We can't teach a proper sex ed course in public school, because it encourages the kids to have sex.
What a smelly pile of horse shit. I don't know how they keep trying to sell it.
Let me clue people in for just a moment. The kids are having sex. Keeping real sexual education out of the public schools doesn't discourage their hormones, but rather increases the amount of unprotected sex.
These are people who want to blame society for the very messes they are making. Do you want less abortion? Have less unwanted pregnancy. Do you want less divorce? Make people get counseling before they get married. And I mean real counseling, not the kind the wife and I got in our church where they told us things like, "you really shouldn't use birth control pills. They cause abortions. You should use natural family planning. God will decide when it's right for you to have children."
God gave me the intellect to make that decision for myself, so he can keep focused on running the entire universe and not just this little blue speck in the boonies of space.
Even with giving up my job, I attribute that to God, but he left me with a choice. What Hostettler and his ilk would like is for everyone to sit quietly and believe as hard as they can and the problems will all go away.
Seriously, what's wrong with these people?
