Recently Kim Kardashian, the woman famous for stone-cold nothing in particular, got married to some guy. Even more recently, she divorced that guy - 72 days after she married him, to be exact. She made millions of dollars out of the whole exercise.
Christians hold marriage in pretty high esteem. At the moment, lots of us are keen to uphold that high esteem by continuing to affirm the traditional definition of marriage as between a man and a woman. But really,doesn't this kind of moronic, cynical, celebrity weddingstravaganza rubbish bring marriage into disrepute much more? There's not much becoming one flesh about getting married to some bloke for less than three months and raking in the millions from the subsequent media deals and interviews. How is the undermining of marriage in the name of squillions of dollars and the perpetuation of the empty bubblehead cult of celebrity not a concern for Christians? Someone tell our church leaders that Kim Kardashian is ruining the sanctity of marriage.
