Does Facebook cause divorce?
According to The Telegraph, lawyers are saying Facebook is named in one out every five divorce petitions. They say Facebook is allowing people to have inappropriate chats with people, connecting them up. The newspaper goes on to report that flirty emails and messages found on Facebook pages are increasingly being cited as evidence of unreasonable behaviour. And computer firms are cashing in, developing software allowing suspicious spouses to electronically spy on their partner's online activities.
So is Facebook causing divorce? Hardly. As PC World blogger JR Raphael says, if we cheat in the regular world, we're likely to do it in the online world. One mirrors the other.
Still, the scary part about these sorts of findings is that it might just be a matter of time until someone sues Facebook for busting up their marriage, or putting them in a position where they embarked on a cyber affair.
50 years ago the majority of Christians would have been livid if someone would have suggested that marriage was not permanent. The world has now fallen for one of Satan’s greatest deceptions. Are you being deceived?
“A wife is married to her husband as long as he lives.”
1 Corinthians 7:39
“Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery and the man who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.”
–Jesus Christ
“Look at the legalized adultery we call divorce. Men marry one wife after another and are still admitted into good society; and women do likewise. There are thousands of supposedly respectable men in American living with other men’s wives, and thousands of supposedly respectable women living with other women’s husbands.” — R. A. Torrey
