Only Christianity can give you that
This author is upset by the discrimination against single people on a societal level.
I'm not sure why she's surprised. Marriage has demonstrable social and economic benefits and it makes sense on a cultural level for social and economic institutions to prefer married people to single ones. Christianity is the only perspective that views singleness as a viable lifestyle, complete with advantages and disadvantages, just like being married. Every other perspective tends to emphasize marriage, viewing unmarried people as second-class citizens at best.
I know lots of believers in the Flying Spaghetti Monster who also like singularity.

Posted by: iserman at August 26, 2007 09:09 PMPretty much. I, for one, can't think of a different perspective that views singleness as acceptable. Even the secular world treats singles poorly, as indicated by the author.
