Christian Mingle’s slogan, “Find God’s Match for You”, has
always rubbed me the wrong way. It seems arrogant enough to claim to speak for
God, but when they charge us money to get God’s help, it makes it seem like
they’re saying God won’t help you unless you pay him some bribe money, like
with the sale of indulgences in the old Catholic Church, and as such, it starts
to sound like a scam. And that’s pretty distasteful.
But once God’s supposed matchmaking service starts getting
people date raped, this slogan begins to seem even more distasteful, and despicable to
boot. I mean, are they really suggesting that God wants some people to be date
raped? Because it kind of seems like that’s what they’re saying when their
clients start getting raped through their dating site and their slogan is:
“Find God’s match for you.” See what I mean? It makes it look like they’re
suggesting that whatever experiences you have through their dating site is
God’s will. But I suppose they could say that like with everything else good
that God is involved in, Satan tries to infiltrate it and ruin it for everyone
to test and/or undermine our faith. (Although I doubt anyone would accept that
as a suitable explanation.)
Wow, between this and the Catholic Church’s sex abuse
scandal, it’s beginning to look like religious organizations are a good place
to be sexually assaulted, isn’t it?
Here’s the sexually assaulting story:
