That would have been around 1980 when the election of the divorced and remarried Ronald Reagan apparently caused certain teachings of Jesus to vanish from the gospels -- the ones about anyone who divorces a spouse and remarries another is an adulterer. Suddenly the evangelical Right stopped being concerned about divorce, except maybe for women, because Bryant took some heat for it.<br /><br />I can't remember at this remove whether she tried to become President of the Southern Baptist Convention before or after the divorce, but in any case she was turned primarily because she is a woman, and Scripture says clearly that ladyparts are not to be put in authority of men. She then complained to the media about all these closed-minded biblical-literalist old men who were thumping their Bibles at her, and how dare they after all she'd done for Jesus! Some things don't change; Jesus was with us, yea, only a little while, but chutzpah endureth forever.Duncan Mitchelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404037779521807223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-85729295906911312102012-10-27T15:58:14.322-05:002012-10-27T15:58:14.322-05:00In the alliteration dep't., it should be noted...In the alliteration dep't., it should be noted that D.D.'s current (as of this typing) wife is named Dixie, & their daughter is named Danielle.M.

Buy a ring priced 1000 times what it should actually be worth. Why shouldn't you go bankrupt throwing your wedding? It's the happiest day of your life! Marriage is no longer a lifelong comitment. It's a bloodsucking industry. But according to her, it's the feminists and other modern folks who think it's better to put the brakes on before "until death do us part" enters the picture or believe in a 50/50 partnership who have wrecked it. At any rate, she does strike me more as the type who cares more about how big a rock a guy will splurge for than any other trait a man might emotionally possess. These people are disgusting. Ordinarily, I'd insist their private live were nobody's business, but when you make a career out of finger-wagging,self-righteous moralizing while judging others, the skeletons in your closet are fair game.Clever Pseudonymnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-6257899405699710832012-10-20T17:39:00.546-05:002012-10-20T17:39:00.546-05:00My favorite parts are about Kings College.
