“A great many people seem to think that if you are a Christian yourself, you should try to make divorce difficult for every one. I do not think that. At least I know I should be very angry if the Muslims tried to prevent the rest of us from drinking wine…There ought to be two distinct kinds of marriage: one governed by the State with rules enforced on all citizens, the other governed by the Church with rules enforced by her or her own members.”
--Mere Christianity, book 3, ch. 6
I can't believe I've never read mere christianity... these words are my EXACT thoughts ... I get disappointed that we are trying to hang on to what the state recognizes as marriage.. I say let the state and whoever wants it's version of marriage have it.. Kristie and I have something else that the world can't comprehend.
ReplyDeleteDerek, you have to read it! The first third can be tough slogging. But if you get bogged down, just keep moving. I guarantee that you'll love the second two-thirds and profit it tremendously.
