Oh, here we go again - the ole, "divorce rates are higher among Christians..."

From what stale cereal box was that one pulled?  Oh, could the stats actually be the divorce rates among, let's say five thousand individual Christians and five thousand individual non-christians?  Sure, it's very believable the first group of five thousand will have the higher amount of divorces; simply because, within this first group, more marriages had taken place, while in the  second group, more couples didn't bother themselves, and so had decided to merely play house.  

Or, did the numbers only include married people?  Ya know, taking a poll, and coming up with five thousand from each camp.  Which leads to the question of how many Christians were asked, and how many non-christians?   Have to seriously wonder, how many extra thousand, or two, of the non-believers had to be asked, in order to come up with the five thousand - or whatever number chosen for the study group? Anyway, stats are so easy to manipulate, and mudslinging is nothing new.
