Are You Ready To Find True Love On Joel Webbon's Christian Nationalist Arranged Marriage Site?
https://www.wonkette.com/p/are-you-ready-to-find-true-love-onEvan Hurst
How many goats are YOU (or your child) worth?
Are you looking for romance? Or for some goats? Trying to get your kids to move out? Do you have a daughter you just really, really hate? Well!! Theobro Joel Webbon has something for you.
It’s not so much a dating site as it is an arranged marriage site. Yes, an arranged marriage site. Where weird Christian parents can make profiles for their “sexually pure” children and look at profiles of other people’s “sexually pure” children, and talk to them about marrying those children off to one another. It is called Covenant, and encourages “covenant marriage,” a form of marriage legally available in only three states: Arizona, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
Basically it is a form of marriage it is more contractually difficult to leave — where divorce is not allowed unless there is adultery, abuse, or abandonment for more than a year. It’s the kind of marriage enjoyed by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who you may recall has a very normal agreement with his own son to monitor one another’s porn-watching … through an app called “Covenant Eyes.”
. . .
But it’s not without rules! As mentioned, it’s for virgins only, and they “expect participants to pursue sexual purity before marriage and reject fornication, adultery, or any immoral relationships.”
Also too: “all matches must be biblically aligned, rejecting any unequally yolked [sic] parnerthip [sic]. We stand on the inerrant Word of God.” Inerrant, indeed.
