Not a single divorce was ever necessary btw. Meaning no one MUST be a liar, abuser, adulterer, narcissist, alcoholic, selfish, self-centered, jerk who’s incapable of introspection. Those are choices people make. Likewise they can choose to stop being those things.
Divorce trades your child’s happiness for your own.
If you are having marital issues, do the hard thing and work them out. Don’t give up. That’s the whole point of marriage and commitment, to not throw in the towel when things get hard. Especially with children involved.
@igarglewithfire This whole thing was weird though… I have 2 girls. I have never taken them into the women’s bathroom. Like, just take them into the men’s room with you, what’s the problem? You’re with them the whole time.
Also, the other guy is totally overreacting and being a jerk.
@Prolife_Sam People always try to use the extreme cases to push back against the general rule. The fact is they just want to do whatever they want and feel justified in doing so.
Just a friendly reminder: when life is beating you down, wicked people lie, cheat and steal with impunity, the world is bent towards injustice and your allies are impotent or indifferent…
It can still get worse.
So I think part of the reason these discussions on immigration and minority crime are so fraught within evangelicalism is because there are real racists who will simply put all of these issues down to skin color. That’s undeniable, we’ve seen them do it.
But there is another group who will also call you racist if you speak honestly about these issues at all. If you try to discuss why the rate of crime within the black population is much higher than other demographics, for instance. Or if you discuss the problem of violence and fraud that comes from particular immigrant groups.
Your anti-racist warriors draw no distinction between people who want to sensibly and honestly discuss these issues and people who really do despise others for the color of their skin. They just run around calling everyone racist.
And I think this quick trigger finger on calling people racist does the truly racist group a favor by making no distinction.
