Divorce is higher among religiously conservative Protestants – and even drives up divorce rates for other people living around them, a new study finds.

The study, slated to be published in the American Journal of Sociology, tackles the “puzzling paradox” of why divorce is more common in religiously conservative “red” states.

Puzzling?  No, not for anyone who lives here.  The study suggests that lack of birth control information causes people to have to get married earlier.

That might be true, but as a human being who lives around these people, I have discovered that hypocrisy in one part of your life tends to invade other parts of your life.  You find me a man who is a Bible Toting used car salesman and I will show you a crook who is messing around on his wife.  It just works like that.

The thing you have to remember about southern red state super deluxe brand Christians:  they have very high standards – for you.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
