Christians increasing divorce rates……again

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 66 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Hey, finally some positive news out of Texas.

"I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation," she wrote. "But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage. I move forward with complete confidence that God is always working everything together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose."

Of course she's a braindead christian who has to frame everything through her faith.

Rather than call her brain dead, reframe it as she’s trying to be a Christian who actually follows the ten commandments, not simply demands them in school as a performative measure.

That’s as optimistic as I’m going to be.

Lol you don't just find out who ken Paxton is right now and be like "oh yeah maybe not"

She married him because he is him.

[–] Tramort@programming.dev 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I wonder if she found him in a homosexual relationship

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

You mean hatefulsexual.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

I'm guessing he kept raping their farm animals.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

possible, or hes CSA/csam and the texas legislature is keeping a tight lip on info.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

He probably has a bunch of blackmail on the legislator.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 day ago

No. People who talk like this hate gay and trans people. Fuck 'em.

My completely unfounded hunch is Cornyn’s people found some dirt, or they just promised her something to weaponize the marriage. She’s almost as awful as her husband is, and Cornyn too — especially during primary season — but keeping Ken Paxton out of the US senate is a legitimately good thing.

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Here's this from the National Republican Senatorial Committee:

What Ken Paxton has put his family through is truly repulsive and disgusting. No one should have to endure what Angela Paxton has, and we pray for her as she chooses to stand up for herself and her family during this difficult time.

That is not the kind of statement these people put out when it's a regular adultery or whatever. Whatever the "biblical grounds" are, they seem a lot more serious than usual.

He's running in the primary against one of the most powerful "behind the scenes" senators in the party. This is the Senate Republican political action committee trying to trash him into getting out of the race.

Gay sex. My money's on gay sex.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And he’ll still be reelected.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

"Never vote blue, no matter who" as they say.

[–] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 day ago

The biblical grounds are keeping a historically red state red.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

sleeping with woman in front of her,multiple at once. or hes a pedo.

[–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

To piss off the Christians like this it must be gay sex.

I wish nothing but the worst for both of them.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Hope she takes him for everything.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

She's a ghoul, too. They were really perfect for each other.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

too much of a ghoul for her, she wants a little ghoulish, also he looks like one too.

I'll be fine if this just kills his employment prospects for anything related to politics (IOW, not just the upcoming election).

[–] marx2k@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Wait... someone actually married that walleye??

Edit: looked it up.. SINCE 1986?!????!
