What about Muhammad? To me it seems Islam was based off a guy who went out in the desert, found some magic mushrooms, decided God talked to him and told him Islam is the only religion acceptable by God, and any other beliefs will either be converted or terminated.

I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. - St. Paul's letter to Galatians...

God bless you. I will pray for you. (Wish I coulda been a fly on THAT wall!)

Don't feel too badly; a spouse who converts to Christianity to please his/her spouse, can be just as maddening....that's what happened to me...several years ago (almost ten years ago now.) , when I was married, my then-husband, converted to Orthodoxy. Shortly afterward, he went nuts (literally) and completely destroyed whatever marriage we had left. We were never married in the Church.... I left him without a second thought, and have never looked back since. Some things are just not your fault and out of your control. (The kicker is: for a long while he tried to "out-Orthodox" me....now he's converted back to Mormonism...:doh:)

It just goes to show you that a person cannot live a spiritual life vicariously through the spouse....they have to tread that path alone.

Yeah I had to leave mine 2 years ago for the same reason (minus the religion problems). Makes me wonder if I should be trying to push my boyfriend away from Orthodoxy to make sure that if he ever does get interested in it it's really for himself and not just to go along with me lol.

:crosseo:

Hey, welcome home Bushmaster!!!
Does Father Dennis have a blog? If yes, please ask him to jot down his thoughts and responses to people who are struggling with their faith.

Occasionally, I run across people who are thinking of leaving Orthodoxy and it would surely help to have a website to which I can send them.

For example, we have had a lot of people leave our parish because they cannot stand the fighting that occurs almost every Sunday after liturgy over the Divine Liturgy. Our parish is almost half FOB ("Fresh off the boat") folks, but our parish council insists that we must follow the stupid by-laws which state that we are an English-only parish. We should not be guided by man-made rules but by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is inclusive, not exclusive.
I'm not sure if he has a blog or not, but I don't think he does. If you want his email, I could pm you.

What can one say ?

In the same circumstances I would probably have done exactly the same thing .

Prayers for you in this new trial.

Maybe it's time to make sure that you and the children will be able to survive as a family unit if his implied statement does indeed come to pass. A little forward planning does no harm.

Prayers that he comes to his senses - he certainly does seem to waver and flit from one thing to another.

Prayers for you that you have strength to cope with this

okay, it's deleted now

I have read it through email notification before you deleted it. Send your husband to me! He is being a retard!

Watch this and have him watch it. It is a ten part video, I am only linking the first one. You can find the links of other parts as you continue to click links on the right watch. Disregard the POLITICALLY CORRECT disclaimer in the beginning that the videos don't regard to "moderate" muslims. It is a pitch to avoid attacks obviously. There is NO SUCH THING as a moderate "westernized" muslim!!!!

my godmother is already planning my 'escape'

You haven't married to this person in the Church correct? It is time to let him know he has a choice, the satanic religion of the arab or you...

Video is playing on my computer... Right this moment I am typing this. Can you see other YouTube videos? This video is a must see. You should see it.

If not, I can purchase it and send it to you. If it will keep your husband from believing the tall tales of the islamists!

nope, we weren't married in the Church, thankfully. I kept telling him we should, but he said one wedding was enough for him.

All he needs to do is talk to the right people! Does he even know himself "why islam?"
