I guess it's because many Christians believe in restricting other people's choices to suit their beliefs.\n\nWhy can't we all just stick to our own convictions and let God sort us out?

Most Christians  'Most' have a problem with it. As they belive they should not follow old outdated rules, preferring to adapt old ones into those they eventually create for themselves.

It's a crazy cycle. They go to church and worship their deity, and then go home and tell a lie, or cheat on their spouse. Personally, I think organized religion should be eradicated. They're putting their faith in to one man behind a podium reading off scripture, and speaking FOR god, and yet he's a less than perfect human being with flaws of his own.

Christians are successful and are very powerful in this world. Other groups of people want what we have but they know that inorder to get this kind of power they must convert and this is something they just will not do. So instead they have decided to unite against us.

I HAVE BEEN MARRIED TWICE BOTH TIMES I WAS MARRIED IN FRONT OF AN JUDGEIN THE COURTHOUSE BUT IT TAKES LESS MONEY . I ONLY HAD A FEW PEOPLE THAT WENT WITH US BOTH TIMES. ONLY THING YOU NEED REALLY IS MARRIAGE LISEASE AND A COUPLE OF PEOPLE AS AN WENDESS AND THAT'S ALL. I DON'T GO TO CHURCH NEITHER MY EX-HUSBAND OR MY HUSBAND NOW. THEY DON'T AT THE COURTHOUSE. CALL AHEAD FOR AN APPOINTMENT AND PRICES.

Well, if you're talking about the vast majority of people that don'tattend achurch service on Christmas, there are a variety of reasons for that, each pertinent to the people themselves. Some people would rather spend time with family, others choose not to allign themselves with the Christian religion, others choose not to align themselves with a church. You could also simply mean why is it so hard to get to Church on Christmas, that's because church attenmdance in the U.S. is highest on Christmas and Easter.

When I met my husband, 1988, he was just falling away from Christianity, and I, being at that time a non-Christian, pulled him even further. We got married in a registry office (Gretna Green, Scotland), and after being married 6 years or so, things weren't great between us. Then God virtually hit me over the head one day, I had a shock revelation that God was real, and I became a Christian. My husband was adamant that I was being a fool by believing in all that, but 2 years later and after much prayer, he came back to Christ, that was a year ago. Now we have a great marriage, we lead a house group together. Our marriage may not have survived had I not believed that God wanted me to stay married (it says so in the Bible.) There are faults in all marriages, whatever faith you have, but for us, seeking God's will together has put all our troubles in perspective, when we have money problems we know God is helping us through so that cuts out much stress. Also raising our kids to know Jesus makes parenting easier as there is a higher authority to refer to.

I asked myself this same question when I got divorced.  According to The Bible, Jesus said that there are legitimate reasons to divorce, such as a cheating spouse.  However, if the divorce was not for a legitimate reason, then to remarry is adultery.  Sex while separated is adultery also.  I forget which book it's in, but I think it was Luke, during the sermon on the mound.

I don't think it is saying that any  group is more sexually active. Catholics are opposed to birth control so they are said to have larger families because of it.

a fairly recent USA study revealed that there are a large percentage of people who go to church faithfully who are faking their way through but are very atheist. The reasons are many but heading the list is fear of losing a spouse, a job, social position,etc...

SINCE %57 OF CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES END IN DIVORCE. I WOULD SAY THAT MOST  DON'T CARE BECAUSE THEN THEY TURN AROUND AND REMARRY. Mark 10:11,12\n11 So He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. \n12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."

It's most likely just the pressures of being i n the media, long periods of time spent apart on movie sets, travelling etcc..\nActully, sometimes it makes me wonder if some marriages are publicity ploys, because when power people come together, the media coverage is phenomenal.
