  I don't really like being categorized based on belief systems.

  There were clearly wrong assumptions being made in the video. For example,
there's no claim in the bible, literal or metaphorical, that people who
believe in God and are saved never divorce. I don't even remember hearing
any christian making such claim. (Well, I'm sure that there exist people
who make all kinds of claims, eg. that if two people divorce they are not
"true" christians, or whatever. But that's not what any mainstream christian
church teaches.)

  I really can't understand why they included that one. Even I can think of
plenty of tougher questions.
