home following a bible study, she talked about strong faith. I asked her if
she would be willing to deny christ if it meant that it would save her life.
She said, "No." I asked her if she would take a bullet and die rather than
deny christ; she said "Yes." I was sad. She asked why I got sad. I told her
that I was sad because religion had the power to take my wife's life away;
whether by the hand of a terrorist (whatever that is now), or by her own
free will. I am sad that my wife would effectively commit suicide for a lie.
How do you keep a strong relationship with your wife? Ever since I de-converted there has been a lot of stress between me and my mildly religious wife. I don't know how to overcome this obstacle. If uou don't want to answer this on the thread, please PM me, because I need help! (Save the jokes, guys. And Christians, I'm sorry, but I've learned way too much. I could never have faith again, nor do I want it.)
