BH75,
I think you are handling things very well so far.

BH75,
I think you are handling things very well so far. Well said, Krazy ... and I concur with every word you posted. Given the realities of these circumstances, it is almost laughable to hear some of the "hopeful" guideance being offered around here. It's very refreshing to see a strong BH who is willing to stand up for his own SELF-RESPECT, whether he recovers his M or not.

While I do believe we must cooperate with God rather than expect Him to do "quick fixes", I think it's more than a little disingenuous for you guys to come onto a Christian website and scoff at God or Christian beliefs.

Folks:
I'm not religious, but bh75 is. How's about we try 2 work with him using the common 2ls and beliefs (such that there are any) that apply in dealing with infidelity.

This is not a Christian website.

This is not a Christian website. While I agree that the religious talk goes a bit overboard with FH FREQUENTLY, I seem to remember reading that the Harley's actually DO consider this a Christian website.

-ol' 2long According to the Harleys it is. Not much use in me arguing the point, but I think I'll take their word for it.

medc, kir:
Really!? I never thought of it as such. Though I certainly realize that the Harleys are Christians.
I've always thought that people of all faiths, or lack thereof, were welcome here.
I would think that a "Christian website" would be for Christians alone - or at 'best' for believers and the occasional non-believer willing and interested in becoming a believer.
I'm not interested in becoming a "believer." BTDT, wore out the T-shirt.

I am NOT sure why you would think only Christians would be here 2Long. It is a Christian-based site to help marriages...while the foundation may be Christian, the principles can help many.

2long, yes, non-Christians ARE welcome here by the Harleys. But it would be disrespectful to mock their beliefs when on their turf; a little like accepting an invitation to a friend's home then belittling their politics over dinner.
It wouldn't be the end of the world, but would show a lack of manners.

This is the most disgusting and appalling statement I've ever read on MB. What about the pain that "CHILD" suffered, for me, and yes, even for you KRAZY.

I agree 1000 percent! Oh yeah?? Well, I disgree a googolplex percent!! This is silly. I've known that the Harleys are Chirstian since I first came here. I've had interactions wtih Christians, Jews, Muslims Buddhists, herds of other religions, and atheists and agnostics, and have never felt dissed in any way for not being a Christian on a site founded and run by people who are Christian... -ol' 2long

I didn't ask for any sacrifice. was the point, Krazy. None of us did. God did it for us anyway to make reconcilation with Him possible. But He won't "force" even you to accept the offered gift. Love is like that. The response TO being loved is not always what is hoped for, but we do it anyway because that IS love.

Revera, don't you DARE lock this thread because a few have chosen to bash belief in God.
BH will make up his own mind as to what advice to listen to and what to ignore. But if you want to intervene, feel free to edit the "bashing" posts as you see fit.
