    Doesn’t believe in the separation of Church and State? What the fuck is up with this bullshit? I don’t want to hear a globdam word about the founding fathers then. Fucken hypocrites.

      Since the truth doesn’t serve their agenda, they claim the truth is subject to interpretation and what the Founders really meant was exactly what people like Barton and Johnson say they did.

      When you can’t win with logic, you dazzle 'em with bullshit.

    I find the covenant contract very interesting. " sign a binding contract agreeing that they would divorce only in the case of abuse, abandonment, imprisonment of a spouse, or lengthy separation. A covenant couple, no matter how miserable, cannot simply decide to divorce."

    No mention of infidelity?

      I could see them justifying infidelity as abuse or abandonment. I used to be a fundie, and Correctly Interpreting™ words to mean what they don’t mean is practically a sport.

        Hey, fellow former fundie! I have a couple of issues with your hermeneutics.

      Lengthy separation? Like a lot of couples do before or during divorce processing? Perhaps it’s worded strongly but otherwise that seems as easy out.

      And unless this is just a legal contact with financial penalty, i.e. a prenup, then it’s just for show. There’s no way to enforce this legally to actually prevent divorce.

      You can’t sign your rights and privileges away to be enforced as anything but civil law.

      It’s pretty flimsy, like any marriage contract. Someone could be banging choir boys every day and the only thing the wife couldn’t do is quickly divorce. Very few are using this legal device anyway, it feels more like political window dressing for stupid people, which is most of the electorate.

      It’s only infidelity when women do it. Boys will be boys /s.

    He often gives sermons of a political nature at churches” - might want to let the tax office know about that one.

      The only way that will actually be enforced is if churches start openly endorsing Democrats and opposing Republicans.

    Didn’t click through. I’m just going to assume he’s married to his “mother” like Mike Pence.

      Don’t kink shame Mike Pence’s Domme. She didn’t do anything except punish that bad, bad boy.
