I don't understand. You preach forgiveness to everyone EXCEPT the victim. Those idiots have to keep towing the line. "Not David." That sounds exactly right for the paradoxes of Christianity.

If your husband beats you, do you stay until he finally kills you? If your husband sleeps around, do you agree to share him? If he molests your child, or the neighbour's, do you stay? If you said "yes," I would take a long look in the mirror at what you've become. I was abused as a child, and...

No, I've walked away. But the indoctrination has left me wounded. There might be a God somewhere, but he's not in the bible I've been given.

Thanks for the well-thought-out response and for taking the time. Yeah, I grew up in an abusive, and yet somehow religious, home so....anyway.

The God, as found in the bible, is not a good God. He is full of contradictions, and everything is our fault, even our unbelief. You get paradise, but here's a tree for good measure, and yes, you'll fail the test. I know, because I am God. Abraham finally gets a child? Sacrifice him...okay...

I don't understand why God would say these things. Hell. Damnation. We fail Him, somehow? I think if all we taught children was that they are loved and to love others, and then modelled good behaviour, we'd be better off. Scared children aren't happy children. Guilt-ridden children aren't...

And why would a loving God play with you this way? Testing people seems very unChristlike. I know I would dislike someone who tested me for sport. It isn't okay. Imagine if I had someone come up to you and say something crappy about me to see your response, or judge your loyalty? Could you see...

What are you praying for? Help? Someone to understand? Someone to listen? Then tell someone. In addition to praying, actually tell someone. You need a real human being to walk beside you, and if you don't speak up, I guarantee nothing will happen. This idea that God sometimes answers yes...
