[...] Warren also thinks that women “don’t have the right” to divorce abusive husbands. God ‘hates’ divorce, don’t you know? [...]

Well, I got divorced after dealing with emotional and sexual abuse. Wonder what Rick Warren thinks of me? I know what I think of him . . .

Too Bad, Pastor Rick did not read the whole verse in Malachi 2
16 “I hate divorce,” says the LORD God of Israel, “and I hate a man’s covering himself with violence as well as with his garment,” says the LORD Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith.
God hates a man who violates his wife, that is why we Christian women need to read the Bible for ourselves and not allow men to use Scripture against us. God loves women and did not make us second class citizens, and we have to stop pastors who use misquote the Bible and use it as a weapon. The only way we can stop this abuse is to know oursevles and use the Bible which is the truth.

On occasion I hope there is a hell so that people like this man can rot in it.

I am absolutely shocked to read that anyone could suggest that abuse is no excuse for a divorce.
I am the author of the book LOOK ME IN THE EYE and my website helps men and women around the world, to understand exactly what the website is called PAINE ‘please abuse is no escuse’. We serve and worship a loving God who will never allow abuse of any kind what so ever.
I am a Christian and not proud of the fact that I have been divorced 3 times. I have suffered abuse my whole life. Two step fathers who sexually abused me, a mother who did not know how to show her love, two husbands who beat me black and blue, broke my bones and broke my spirit. They had many affairs, and justified their unacceptable behaviour…that it was all my fault.

I have been divorced 4 years and I have searched my soul and the Lord for understanding and I have taken responsibilty for any part I played in the abuse….but NEVER DID I DESERVE THE ABUSE I SUFFERED. My latest husband was a Christian and still he abused me so badly that I was almost driven to suicide.

THIS IS A WORLD WIDE PROBLEM AND IT HAS TO STOP.

I for one will never attend a church where I am taught that divorce is not an option!

one more:

Does not the “Bible” also state that the husband is supposed to love his wife as he would his own body, as Christ so loved you???

Does not the “Bible” also read clearly that which you do the the least of his brothers….etc”???

Staying in an abusive marriage is SUICIDE!!

What does his book say about that?!?!?!
