Madam I feel sorry for you.. but something tells me you know your husband is right,, I also lost a girl friend due to my atheist views,, the Bible says you shall know the truth and it shall set you free.. stay with you husband and beg him to tune it down if he loves you.. 4 Likes |

Look at yourself @Op ur husband tolerated u with ur believe now its do difficult for u to show him same courtesy if you truly believe in ur God then pray for ur hubby, religion is our problem in this part of the world, I can remembered a story of one young boy branded a witch by some xtian folks but the boy was saved by one Belgian or German woman with tattoo all over her body I strongly believe that woman has no religion but she did something that should make those xtian to ask themselves questions, my point is that being religious doesn't makes u a better person but ur actions do, ur hubby is an atheist leave him be if its God's wish he will reach out to him instead of u worrying about ur Pastor, friends n family"s feelings about him lets learn how to tolerate each other s believe 6 Likes |

plaetton: Well written! I'm not an atheist, but also not a christian, prob a theist. Yet, u wrote it all, respect each others religion. But d kids should be allowed to form their beliefs, don't purposely influence them. Some pple actually need a religion to withstand d onslaught of life, respect them. Op, enjoy ur marriage. Chill abt his stance, just plead with him to tone it down. Don't alienate him for pple who won't give u joy, they can also end up ostracizing u. U av to realise, he his also accommodating u n ur religion, inspite of his beliefs. 3 Likes |

@yolany What I deduce from your story is that your husband is a sincere man. To be sincere, it takes a fraudulent individual to practice Christianity in nigeria for straight 20yrs with a strong zeal. Why your hubby has become outspoken is because he has seen that a lot of people who claim to be christians are atheist like himself. The number of atheist have risen in recent years due to the numbers of fake preachers everywhere who ventured into christianity because of unemployment. Even many pastors these days don't believe what they preach. Atheist are everywhere just that majority are just pretending to be christians. Some are even pastors. I would have explained my reason for these conclusions but typing with the phone is hard work. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

sounds like you dont have a problem. your husband is smart. religion is nonsense and yes the bible stories are not real. they are allegories. now if you tell me he does not even believe in the existence of a higher power ? then thats when i will tell you to kick that demon out lolzzz. but you can be spiritual without being religious. your religion should be your good deeds. all religious folks are demons in disguise. they are wicked and evil. spiritual people on the other hand ? are almost always very good 2 Likes |

yolandy: Somewhere in your heart, you knew he had the potentials to be that way. He was not a christain and you were never deceived into this marriage. My only advise is to let him be and continue to pray for the salvation of his soul. Talk to your God to work on him, it may take a while and probably may never happen but what do you stand to lose if you continue to pray for him. Goodluck. 2 Likes |

You people are misunderstanding this OP. Shes comfortable with the man as an atheist. Hes a good husband. Her major problem is that the man has now started disrespecting her religion, which is absolutely irresponsible of him. If she can tolerate and respect his views, then he should also respect hers. In fact, the man is in the wrong, why did he not let her know he was an atheist before marrying her? Why the deception? Why being obnoxious and disrespecting her religion now? OP please have a heart to heart talk with your husband and tell him how you feel, I think both of you can reach middle ground and respect each other's views 2 Likes |

Atheist intelligence is like a child trying to outshine his master. They are like babies in the realm of things in this world. You cannot beat them in any argument because the odds are against you in the first place, with their misinterpretation of everything the bible holds. you cannot attack them either, because they will use it against you. They are better left alone. 3 Likes |

Hello Ma..... If u are truly born again all you need do is go on your kneels and keep praying for your husband and your children. Tell God to surround ur kids with his presence. Ask God for mercy on behalf of ur husband and authoritatively dismiss the hikd of d enemy over his life, and that God would shine his light into his heart. Please let the love of God begin to find expression in your life. For faith worketh by Love. Pray that the Holy Spirit will teach u and direct u. If u will lean on d Spirit of God u will soon testify. Never give d enemy a chance. |

harakiri: wow! you know a lot of awesome rubbish about religion.. just because your "then pastor" wasn't a competent and truth "pastor" ...of who you expected to be and live like "Jesus", disappointed you, doesn't mean you're ryt.. trace your root sir.. you think by going on so many research you have the perfect knowledge of knowing that the bible stories are false? gimme the veracity of your claim and I'll show you the truism in mine as well .. you are quite intelligent ..no doubt... and what you said about the IQ of atheist is evident. but then again...you all have worldly wisdom.. now upon all your research and " acquired" knowledge, ever wondered why mans knowledge isn't capable enof to create a living thing? or a living soul? think about it .... all we have made so far are inanimate.. prove me wrong. atheist has never won any argument with genuine and straight forward religious men..(Christians in particular) ...the wise men just kept quiet and wonder the level of their foolishness...hence making them think they are wise and have won.. think about it bro...there are some things you can give a concrete fact about how when where what which, they occur or appear.. I know also...not all the stories in the bible that we can also, in this present time, tell the truism of... that's why we follow it with FAITh...the basics of Christianity... and hence appear foolish to the world.. BUT ONE DAY, OUR BLESSED HOPE SHALL APPEAR.....and I pray we all make it. 1 Like |

I would have been an atheist if I hadn't seen the true picture of Islam. I'm a Muslim who live by the Qur'an alone, no hadith attached, and I have every prove in the holy Qur'an that God exists. I've researched into different religions from Judaism, Taoism, Confucianism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Shinto and even the democratic Atheism I love so much. I ended up choosing Islam, the Islam that recognises the holy Qur'an alone as the only source of Islamic knowledge and laws. Anything outside the Qur'an is not Islamic to me, I've been faced with critics on my new chosen faith by my brothers and friends just like the OP's husband because I claim I was born into the wrong Islam, which is my honest truth. Only few people know that Hadith is the only book that has tarnished the image of Islam so bad that Islam is tagged the most famous and callous religion. If you're an atheist or a non Muslim or even a Hadith type of Muslim that thinks you can prove me wrong, I'm open to learning and switching faith and belief. Back to the OP, I'll advice you to leave your husband to his view of religion, if hell is real as you might believe, he'll be the one to go there and not you. Same thing applies to your kids if they follow him or not. Practice your faith if you feel is right for you and let your husband do what he feels is right for him. There's no compulsion in religion from Islamic point of view. I hate it when I'm told not to follow my instinct and instead follow what is being thought by humans who I believe are not as intelligent as myself. It's a free world biko. 1 Like |

There is no greater threat than cohabiting with an unbeliever ...Pray for him if you love God will witness to him one sweet day encourage your children. Yesterday my mum called me to wake me up for church I was hesitant but something in me gave last min and i went and I was blessed with the Word. Later my life could have fallen apart but for the word i heard. The word grounds us so I'm sorry but your husband won't have a moral grounding his sense of reasoning will always be about his feelings that's why he said what he said about the brother Forgive me Atheists but the one may thing that really intrigues me is the high level of intolerance and insensitivity Check his friends and pray for them too Prayer works |
Re: Married To An Atheist by preciousMI1(f): 12:00pm On Aug 02, 2016 |
if your Christian faith is growing his atheism should be growing as well... well my advice, pray for him secretly and stop convincing him your prayers will convince him... |

MizTyna: The problem is not atheism or christianity. The problem is intolerant humans who are condescending in their attitude and try to force their beliefs on everyone. I'm a non-believer myself. I think the man is not in the wrong, but he should be more tactful. You can let people know you're atheist without being rude or arrogant or condescending to them. The wife also needs to realize that eventually the kids will make their own decisions. She can't be solely responsible for them to be strong christians all their lives. 3 Likes |
