Arnold and Conger, for example, see marriage as part of the entertainment industry. And don't get me going again about Conger, a ditz who has been on national TV five times saying she doesn't like publicity. Even if you prefer civil marriage over religious, the ceremony ought to be more than show biz. It is, after all, the engine that drives every society. If marriage is sport, then so is raising children.
Religion sometimes presents a split personality.
Two trends, ecumenism and faithbased civil rights, appear to conflict. The other divides, in the sense that religion looks after its own people, to heck with infidels and heretics on the other side. Charity used to be a matter of religion and family. It still is in some quarters. But a rival institution, government, usurped the role and transformed it into multi-billion dollar industry.
