Really?!?

I originally started this post in 2009.  I saved it as a draft 'cuz I wasn't sure it was something I wanted to actually promote on my blog. Plus I write A LOT that I never publish.   I had forgotten all about it until the media storm of the past week involving this website.   So here's goes.....

(Originally composed July 2009)

'cuz this is JUST what our society needs. The
whack job CEO and founder of Ashley Madison (dot) com was on The View today and I sat stupefied in my chair as I listened to him spew his amazingly wiggy, completely mind-blowing logic as to the need for on-line dating service for MARRIED people.

Really. Yes that's right...married people.

It's an online dating service for unhappy married people looking to have an affair. He claims 70% of all marriages will involve some sort of infidelity and they should have somewhere to turn after all, other than on-line dating services geared for singles.

The very charming tag-line on the website is "Life is short. Have an affair". Really!

Not to mention that the print ads and TV commercials are borderline p0rn*gr@phic.

The CEO claims that monogamy is hard and that people should have their own safe, discreet place to find that special someone if they are unhappy in their present marital relationship. He says the concept of marriage is undergoing tremendous change in the 21st century and they are just a vehicle to help move people thru that change. The saddest part is right now, they are boasting 3.72 million registered members.   (UPDATE!!!!   Now in 2015 it boasts 39 million users!  39 million people seeking to have an affair.  REALLY!!!)   


Here's the blurb from the website...

Really??!?  

Really.


Hebrews 13:4 (NIV) Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

I Corinthians 7:3-5 (NIV) The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. 5Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

God help us.
