What do you think of divorce? It has been a practice of the "christian" America. Is it Biblically justifiable? Is it a righteous act?

Divorce is legal in the United States and therefore that is biblical because the followers of God are commanded to obey human laws. And even Moses allowed separation although God does not like divorce or separation of spouses.

If God does not like divorce or separation of spouses how can divorce be biblical? Anything that God hates is sin if he hates divorce then it is sin an sin is not justifiable in God's eyes.

No it is not biblically justifiable for Christ said in the Gospel "What God has joined together let no man put asunder, that is why a man must leave his parents and live with his wife that they may become one" it is very clear that he doesn't approve of divorce, and furthermore he told the Pharisees who questioned him about divorce that Moses allows divorce because of the hard headedness of the people of Israel. He further state that anyone who looks at a woman with lust commits adultery. So therefore the bible especially the New Testament doesn't favor divorce.Christian America is too secularized to the point of losing the sense of responsibility to every action they make. They compare marriage to a food that is eaten while hot and then spit them out because it is too hot to take. That is why divorce is permitted in there society because as they said "I have my on personal choice and rights that must be respected." But they forget that every individual rights ends when the others begin. God bless.
