Christians, what is it like to have a personal relationship with Jesus?

[Drich]

What do you mean by fucked? Did it really get that bad?

My mother is a Christian and my dad is an atheist. It's always been so. She started going to a new church when I was 14 years old, and the pastor there began immediately showing my mother all of the scriptures about why she shouldn't be married to a non-believer. After about a year of this she left my dad. I was torn between two homes and a horribly heartbroken father and a brainwashed mother - it continues to this day. That's what I mean by "fucked".

Our home was sober, well kept, and non-violent. My dad never berated my mother for her faith. There was no reason for our family to be dismantled because some old-fashioned myth says so.

Then she should have consulted her bible first... Or she just wanted to leave all along and this moron's sermon gave her an easy out.

If she wanted to follow biblical Christianity This is what the bible says about being married to unbelievers:
1 cor 7:
12 The advice I have for the others is from me. The Lord did not give us any teaching about this. If you have a wife who is not a believer, you should not divorce her if she will continue to live with you. 13 And if you have a husband who is not a believer, you should not divorce him if he will continue to live with you. 14 The husband who is not a believer is set apart for God through his believing wife. And the wife who is not a believer is set apart for God through her believing husband. If this were not true, your children would be unfit for God’s use. But now they are set apart for him.

15 But if the husband or wife who is not a believer decides to leave, let them leave. When this happens, the brother or sister in Christ is free. God chose you to have a life of peace. 16 Wives, maybe you will save your husband; and husbands, maybe you will save your wife. You don’t know now what will happen later.
