Popular Post ag_NO_stic Posted November 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hi, all! Sorry if this isn't the best place to post this topic. Mods, feel free to move it. I promise I'll get around to an ex-timony, when it feels right. As for now, I just wanted to let everyone know that things are going pretty decent between Mr. ag_NO_stic and I regarding our faith differences. He is "unsure" to the point that he's not actively calling himself a Christian. Now he will still resist me on many points, but I have been REALLY making myself keep my opinions and rants to myself, not challenging him on belief stuff. When it does occasionally come up, I've been practicing and forcing self-discipline and not reacting out of emotion. This has done wonders! I think he also sees how content I am, as I've calmed with time, and how my new "beliefs" are not going anywhere. It helped in my case that he has never really been "up to fundamentalist" standards with his faith, his parents did NOT raise him like me so he doesn't have some of the wounds.....he doesn't understand some of my bitterness. But things are looking up as of now, fingers crossed! I just wanted to post this for those who know what's been going on with me and the husband, as well as give some encouragement to those with believing spouses. Show them the "fruits of the spirit" which ironically is just coming from yourself because you are in control of your actions. A calm and rational demeanor paired with facts/logic and not seeking out an argument all the time really has helped over time. He has also had some time to adjust to the changes and can see that I am still me, without being a pious asshole. I even got him to listen to little bit of Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens and he chuckled a couple times, so it can't be long now! Cheers! 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOHO Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Super Awesome, @ag_NO_stic !!! Your post surely is encouraging. I recon if there's progress in others then Mrs. MOHO might see the light some day as well. At this point I am assuming (hoping?) that Mrs. MOHO's daily regimen of doing her bible homework (study guide designed to keep the sheeple in the fold and focus attention away from inconsistencies and the other shitty parts) is an outcome of her own doubts and trying to resist the urge to listen to them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
