I Dunno, But This Doesn't Really Sound Too Convincing.

I was going through sites, when I found this an it-looks-like-a-promising-source-kind-of-site. Sadly, it wasn't as much as I hoped it to be. For something that popped up top on the search engine, this one's pretty weak. Thus the critique on the pretty weak arguments on this guy's article.


http://thedisciplers.com/divorce-in-the-philippines-say-no-to-it/


I mean really? Not to sound high and mighty on the guy but.. it isn't really convincing.


Let's start with..




"If you fear the Lord and his commands, there is no way that you will agree on divorce. This is not what God wants. As simple as it is. Even if some pastor and theologians quantify it as a “necessary amputation” as far as I remember what my American Theology professor said, I would say that divorce is divorce, and God hates it. It was only men who wants it, not God."


This smells of Bias and the inability to show even scriptural proof of how God viewed divorce. I mean come on, really? The dude is bashing pastors and theologians and all he provides is a "No" without a reason kind of explanation. (Not to mention bad grammar.) HE ALSO CITED HIS AMERICAN THEOLOGY PROFESSOR, WHO WE DO NOT KNOW. I mean, it would be understandable if he started with a disclaimer, but nope, this guy was full-on, no-divorce-cause-my-theology-professor-and-God-said-so. Which as far as I remember isn't the way to persuade people.


"It is not the answer to the growing violence against women and children. Most divorce advocates gives emphasis on the growing children and women abuse. But I really do not see it as a solution for these problems. In fact it extends to the growing problem of immorality and sexually related diseases and problems such as unwanted pregnancies and sexually related diseases. And I believe that you will agree with me that these problems are a threat to women, children and even family."


DIVORCE AND STD's? REALLY?! This guy is claiming every piece of property without a deed of sale, if you know what I mean. I have nothing against people who contradict the Divorce Bill, and I'm a Christian myself, but really? When you have a claim, you back it up. You don't really need to show a bunch of tests or a long list of statistics, just a clear rational and critical flow of ideas, and an explained way of thinking. WHICH IS NOT EVIDENT IN HIS BORDERLINE OFFENSIVE AND STUPID ARTICLE.


moving on..

"Here’s the summary of the advantages of divorce:

• Spouses will have a “second chance” for a happier life.
• Spouses will have a “second chance” for a non-violent life.
• …. “second chance”
• …. “second chance”
• …. “second chance”
• to be happy…
• to be happy…
• to be happy…."

Bro, come on. If you're trying to provide the perspective of both sides, can you try not being bias? or prejudiced? or sarcastic? or at least know what you're talking about. This guy is insane. It's people like this "discipler" that pave the way for falsely informed decision-making. He is also responsible for the negative perception of people on the Church, for perceiving them as blind irrational followers, which they are not. The Church has its good points. But this, clearly isn't one of them. 

The article, is bullshit, and the guy is insane.

Feel free to read the whole thing. Surprisingly, for a guy who speaks of Christianity and God, he pisses me off.

-- I have nothing against the Church and its contradictions on the Divorce Bill, I just really think this guy's article is insane. IT SHOULD NOT BE ON TOP OF THE RESULTS FOR DIVORCE IN THE PHILIPPINES!
