An Indiana Congressman says that divorce is as dangerous to society as same-sex marriage.

Without specifically calling for an amendment to ban divorce or for federal legislation to restrict divorce John Hostettler (R-Indiana) suggested that the Christian right is looking at divorce as its next big issue.

Hostettler is one of the sponsors of the Federal Marriage Amendment to ban same-sex weddings.

3. Well, it only makes sense.

If we're going to fight items that threaten the "sanctity of marriage", divorce should have been first on the list all along.

While we're at it, we better target financial issues, spousal abuse, child abuse, and so on, since they are big threats to marriage.

Hmm, it would seem that same-sex marriage is WAY down the list of possible threats to marriage. Too bad the right can't figure that out.

Therefore, since fighting same-sex marriage was never really about the marriage part of the equation, I guess that it's the "same-sex" part that makes the natives restless, hmm?

4. what a better way to encourage people to 'live in sin'?-

such hyprocricy-
The divorce rate among religious people is higher than among secular-
Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

Where does the constitution ever mention marriage as something the government should control???

5. Obviously Christianity isn't able ...

to create or protect true marriages on it's own.
