Christians piss me off, and this is just hilarious. And true.

Inevitably, someone will come in here whining about how this is false or made up, so I made sure to chose an article which is:

1. Adequately (and heavily) Sourced.
2. From a site which believes in Religious Freedom

Also, I am an ordained Minister. I have no agenda.

	more likely than others to experience a divorce, that pattern has been in 
	place for quite some time. Even more disturbing, perhaps, is that when those 
	individuals experience a divorce many of them feel their community of faith 
	provides rejection rather than support and healing. But the research also 
	raises questions regarding the effectiveness of how churches minister to 
	families. The ultimate responsibility for a marriage belongs to the husband 
	and wife, but the high incidence of divorce within the Christian community 
	challenges the idea that churches provide truly practical and life-changing 
	support for marriages<I>.</I>"</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/842F35F2-4D11-4540-B081-9B0C1464C415/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
