Well, I have noticed that a lot of days are slow news days apparently.  If all the haters have to rant about is stuff like this, they are really pathetic.  Need to get up to speed on what's actually going on in the world instead of nit picking everything the Trump/Pence administration does.  Like Melania's portrait, Ivanka's jewelry, Jared Kushner's instagam.....air headed stuff like that.

Who was actually shocked by this? The article makes no sense.

Having a meal with a co-worker or a friend is not evil....
and only gives the appearance of evil....

to those who tend to fall under the true sin of gossip....
or have too much time on their hands....

No, I would disagree and argue with the idea that having a meal with a woman other than you wife gives an evil appearance.

I did not accuse the VP of anything, I was speaking of those that would find evil in the sharing of a meal by two people of opposite genders.

Some men value their marriages more than others and will go the extra mile to prove it.   There is a reason that the Bible tells to avoid every appearance of evil.   It's easy to tell who the Christians are.

 My wife would probably get upset if I had such an antiquated rule as this meal rule. She has always preferred we treat both men and women equally.  But to some I guess that is not a very Christian thing to do.

Personally to each their own concerning this, I still fail to see where the internet shock and the ridicule of Pence is coming from. 

 

[Guest shiloh357]

It is admirable that a man honors his wife in such a way, that his marriage is more important to him than even being vice president.  That is uncommon in the DC.   It's great to see a Christian man standing up for real, Christian, family values.   The Liberals find fault with it, which tells the moral constitution of his critics.  Anyone who could find any fault in this is lacks a truly Christian moral compass.

[Running Gator]

A man honors his wife by having a relationship strong enough that neither incidental contact with a member of the opposite gender nor the gossip of idle lips are a problem for them.  

A true Christian moral compass treats all people equally, they do not discriminate due to gender.

Show me where anyone is finding fault with it?

He is speaking of me, he just won't say so.  It is one of those passive aggressive maneuvers.

While I support his freedom to to do this, I find the reasoning to be faulty and to be based upon a sexist attitude.
