Anybody Religious?
| Wed, 03-10-2004 - 11:19pm |
Religion was one particular reason that stopped me from taking my emotional affair to any other level. I mean I could micro-analyze my marriage and come up with reasons to justify cheating to my own self but could not justify it to God. I am supposed to “guard my modesty” in relation to my husband and I couldn’t bring myself to break that decree. I and MM belong to different faiths but for him it was the religious reason too that held him back. I and MM could generate heat in excess of couple of hundred degrees ..lol.. but it’s the religion besides our idiosyncratic personalities that wouldn’t let us do it.
I am curious to know how other board members (who consider themselves actively religious) handle the religious aspect that considers adultery a serious sin. Do you feel like a sinner and think that other areas of your life might be getting affected by the adultery act (they say people get punished in this world too besides in the other world)? Do you feel that your prayers work?

As far my prayer being answered, yes, they have been answered many a times over and over. ;-)
I am not a Christian, but just about everyone I know is. And each of them has their own view of that religion and what it means to them. Not to mention there are thousands of different denominations of Christianity. I don't think you can lump them all together and think that their beliefs will be the same.
Why do people feel the need to come up with excuses??? We're all in adult situations, so behave like adults.

Why judge when you are in the box?
