Was a fundmentalmist minister for 10 years before I woke up to the fact that the only moral thing to do was walk away from Christianity ... That was almost five years ago. My wife of 16 years, who remains a steadfast fundy has been relentless in using coercion, denial, and nagging to get me back into the whole fundy scene. My love for her is so great ... but I just can't get myself to embrace religion now that I hate it to such an extreme ... she says she can't love anybody who'd turn their back on God but won't divorce me cuz it's against her religion and I won't seperate from her because she is the love of my life and the only one I want. We have two kids, who's future lies in being bullied and intimidated by the kinds of megalomaniacs who run churches and think they have the only legit conscience.
Sometimes she goes ballistic on me for no other reason than I no longer go to church or believe in God or want to hear about what a lousy person I am for sinning against God by being human.
It's really tough to see your marriage go down the tubes for no reason than you don't / can't believe in god anymore. Not much I can do about it except go back to church and become a brainwashed idiot again ... which love might compell me to do but I can't imagine how I could possibly believe that BS again.
Just thought I'd share a story in case anybody else is struggling.
