As I’ve often said, I’m really into the Christian bible. That is to say, I enjoy listening to or reading biblical scholars discuss interesting minutiae and I find the literary and linguistic history fascinating. As well, I like to read items about and by crazy Christians. But it still strikes me as odd when the Google Ads seem to be targeting me with ads for Christian dating and such nonsense. Isn’t it weird, too, that Christian dating is apparently such big business? Shouldn’t the church serve as the ideal place to meet potential mates? And if the supposed “man upstairs” wanted you to get hitched, isn’t this the sort of service “God” is supposed to provide? Doesn’t preemptive self-segregation effect social insularity as well? Of course, that is rather important to the Jeebus Kooks of the world.
