[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 494613, member: 1436"] Janet, to me religion is such a personal issue, that I often don't talk about it with anyone. But, I had to respond to your thread. I think that often, people with bad pasts gain some religious knowledge and then think it is their responsibility to save everyone else. I had the same think happen with my ex during one of his recovery phases. I had gone to church, taken the kids every Sunday, had grown up in the church...he wanted to teach me the Bible. He watched tv preachers every singe day, all day. He would only play religious music in his vehicle---almost drove me batty. Not because I don't believe, but because my beliefs were so different from the way he thought. My God is a loving, forgiving father and the foundation of my believes revolve around the Love your neighbor, love God, love self/I am forgiven because he loved me enough to die for me--and what exactly is out of wedlock---according to who/what? The state? The church? My bible says nothing about marriage having to be sanctioned by the state and my state laws says nothing about marriage being sanctioned by the church! To me, a marriage is a commitment of hearts. I have a hard time with any form of organized chaos trying to tell people how they should live...You should not feel guilty...you have loved Tony and been faithful to him for years...you have been a good mother and taken care of your boys...your relationship with your God is your business and not your brother in law's.
