5 marriages… 100% Christian. No way to say it better.

  I don't know what 100% Christian is intended to imply here, although it's obviously critical. Biblical christianity isn't for the perfect or righteous, but for sinners. Christ rejoices more over the one sinner that repents than the 99 who need no repentance (John 15). I don't know much about Foreman. But, his fifth marriage did last 40 years. Seems like, at some point, his perspective on marriage/commitment got more aligned with biblical wisdom.

  Do you think Jacob had his twelve sons with the same woman?

    What we do today is totally moral and normal, and cultural practices prior to what we grew up with are sinful barbarism.

  Being a Christian celebrity doesn't require you to stick to Christian values. It's much more important to proclaim your membership than to live it. It's like wearing a team jersey without playing the game. The appearance matters more than the practice. Christianity in America is like a brand - more about identity and affiliation than discipleship or doctrine.

  A lot of the replies to this comment seem to assume that the "5 marriages" component is meant to cast Foreman's christianity as hypocritical, when I think it's more a commentary on how christian values affect relationship stability. I say this also as someone who's left the church, and whose religious parents and inlaws are multiply-divorced.
