Let's void all divorces. Or, we could stone the adulterers just like in days gone by. We may even have to incorporate teachings from the Koran, Hinduism, and other religions - since we are a melting pot.

Or maybe we could just speak the truth boldly.

Not a bad idea. It certainly would make men and women think twice before marrying and committing adultery. I think the stoning would be a bit too much, though. I am all for raising the bar on marriage and the consequences of divorce and infidelity.

Can anyone tell me how our culture benefits from adultery? Homosexuality?

The traditional scriptures of Hinduism also state that same sex acts are an abomination and offense and should be punished severely.

I do think we should do away with so-called 'no fault' divorce laws.

"Or, we could stone the adulterers just like in days gone by."

If you were under Islam or under the old Israelite theocracy, you would do that. Under Christianity, you don't throw stones, but you do speak truth.
