State representative Ashley Aune is trying to fight it, but doesnāt have high hopes.
Something you might have picked up on over the last several weeks/years/centuries is that there are a disturbing number of people in power who will go to great lengths to control women in America. Not convinced? Thinking of citing the fact that in some countries, women are stoned to death (as though that makes what happens here okay)? Then weād like to make you aware of a law in Missouri that says pregnant women cannot get a divorce finalized if theyāre pregnantāeven if said pregnant people are victims of domestic violence.
Matthew 5? Yeah, it doesnāt say that.
Sure. Iāve read it. You may want to take a look into what divorce and adultery meant in First Century Judea.
Not sure why I would considering that the man who wrote that gospel wasnāt from there and wasnāt of that religious group. Especially considering that ālook at the contextā is something only done by non-religious who havenāt yet finished cutting ties with their birth religion and is never a demand that the religious honor.
But yeah go right ahead. Explain how divorce and adultery really means exactly what you want it to me in ācontextā.
Sorry, 0 for 2 (or 3āyouāre probably wrong about the author of Matthew too). Some folks are deeply religious and care a great deal about context and history, but something tells me you already know that.
The books are deeply flawed, but if you want to criticize them, you have to bother to read and understand them first. Making shit up because you have a chip on your shoulder doesnāt advance your position. All it does is prove the assumption of religious people, wise and ignorant alike, that you will readily lie if it serves your aim to paint their faith in a negative light.
When you engage in bad faith, you shouldnāt be alarmed when someone calls you on it, and it should come as no shock that people arenāt going to want to spend time correcting your errors.
Yeah yeah I suck, get in line and take a number.
Noticed that canāt actually find a way to make the word divorce not be divorce and the word adultery not be adultery? A three paragraph rant about how much I suck with zero reference to the text or the supposed context of the text.
