Every man is responsible for their own life - for the choices that he or she makes: not God, not anything else, but the person - adultery is a choice (usually bad, but sometimes right), but its the choice for human beings to make - god has got nothing to do with it.

[Diestl]

Its a choice that every individual makes.

I agree

Adultery implies that two parties agreed to it - if it happens then clearly marriage is not happy one and should be broken up: adultery is just a sign of bad things, not root cause of them.

Yes, so the prostitute you paid agreed to sleep with you and you agree to sleep with them; two parties. "Sorry kids, im a selfish retard who puts my dick before your needs".

There are always reasons for adultery - basically if it comes to this then the family should have divorced in the first place. In church's laws its a sin, but I say its a choice of every individual to make.

Yes, my name is Atw and I just got married. I also just had a young family who are rely on me. Wait I see this fit bird, I fancy her. **** it ill shag her. Oh no my family found out and now my kids are all from a broken home. But it's ok there was a reason for my adultery.

Sadly even scientology cult is legal in this country - though in all fairness I quiet like Arch Bishop of Cantenbury because he is smart rather than dumb like Chico - if Christianity was more like Buddism - Philosophy, with all obvious things like dont kill, dont steal (though adultary should be definately dropped from sins and new one added - inability to satisfy your partner's sexual drive),

Adultery is a good thing you say? Ive seen more peoples lifes ruined because of this and familys torn apart.

Written to appeal to those in despair so they will turn to the church and give them cash.

Next!

Do you give to your church Chico? 5% of salary? 10%? More?

It is quite common for the new age of christians to give substantial amounts to the church and this "tract" reads like a pretty poor bit of marketing cack.

Even my local C of E church is getting into this, implying that all good Christians must give 10% of their income to the church fund or they'll all burn in Hell and the place will have to be closed down. Must have got it off the Internet.

It's complete B'Locks. When you look at the Church accounts, you see that about 90% of the income goes to the Diocese with the other 10% paying for the church upkeep. The local church itself is their income stream so they're not going to shut it down anytime soon and lose all those paying customers.

Pity Greek Gods did not carry on - they were much more human and did not demand so much, heck, even sacrifice was bones rather than meet, thanks to Prometeus.

So come on Chico - how much do you give and if not monetarily then in time?

Or even worse... how much does it get anytime he persuades another gullible fool into those scams?

The church is big business and needs supporting. Lots of people get rich through religion here and in the US and it is gullible fools like Chico who support it.

A good tract but exaggerates somewhat, not everyone is on the edge of despair.

That's a good example of the whole problem. Some of the ideas and concepts do sort of make some kind of sense, then at the end it turns into religious bulltulip. "Because it says so in the Bible" isn't at won't ever be a convincing argument about anything, and that's basically all Christianity has.
