If the known line "what god joined together no man can separate" applies, then how can there be a thing called divorce?
Let's say you get married (Yes, YOU. There is no way I'm gonna do it now or any time soon. Maybe ever.), you go through the whole charade of it.
You and your future partner says their yeses, the priest says his line mentioned above. Even though neither of you believes in god.
Then some time later, you realize that the relationship doesn't work and you get to the divorce court/hearing. Now the thought/question that pains me comes along.
What or who is more powerfull? God or government?
Government is man-made thing.
God is, according to some book(s) and some people belives, above the man - more powerfull than a man.
And if "what god joined together no man can separate" is valid (rule, statement, line in the bible) how can some government agent undo what god did?
I heard that in US, the courts have some bible includung charade involved before anyone can speak.
But with divorce, to me, it's kinda contradicting act.
First you swear on the bible. Then you do what is against the bible... and some people get away and/or even rewarded for doing so.
It just confusing.
If god is above all man, then how come a man-made thing be above the god?
that's weird hierarchy...
Can anyone explain this shit to me in simple language?
