Dear reader the following post is based on my personal opinion and it’s just me venting. It’s not meant to be directed towards anyone in particular or a specific group.
Dear reader I keep seeing people judging people for being divorced and having a happy family with another person.
Yes, I know this subject is close to home for me because I am going through a divorce myself.
What keeps running through my mind when I see people judging people and saying “God will not bless you because you’re divorced” I think maybe what they are really mad at is the fact that these people are happy even though they did things “the wrong way” in the person’s opinion and they might feel that it’s “unfair” to have them be happy when the person who is doing things the “right way” maybe isn’t happy.
Just maybe instead of trying to take someone’s happiness away try to make yourself happier.
My other thought is maybe when they see a person happy who divorced they start to may be question their faith on it’s teaching on divorce and remarriage in the back of their mind subconsciously and since they can’t have that they take it out on they people to make their faith right by force which is in my opinion never a good idea.
I know that as someone who is Pagan I personally have accepted the possible that I might have to deal with the Christian God over my choice and I am prepared for that.
I personally think when you are dogmatic about your faith where there is no possibility that anything can be wrong you get into very dangerous territory.
I don’t get mad when I see someone who is another faith happy. I am happy for them. Seeing someone happy doesn’t make me question my faith.
I will be completely honest here dear reader I do go through times when I have doubts however ever single time (as yet) that I have gone through the doubts it has always made my faith stronger in the end.
Because in my personal opinion by me questioning my faith It has reminded me why I personally believe what I do and what my core faith principles are. I think getting re acquainted with your foundation always makes you stronger.
One of the other things I really like about my faith is that I am free to ask the questions without judgement. I have never had the Gods I follow/work with yell at me for questions.
Which means at lot to me.
This one comes from a bit of a Heathen perspective, but also a historical one, but I think I get this.
Finally.
For Christians, they take an oath before their God when they get married, to be together till death. This is still part of the modern wedding ceremony. So when someone gets divorced, and then goes and remarries, by all definitions they are Oath Breakers. They have broken an oath to their former spouse, but more importantly they broke an Oath to God, and that is why God would not bless them. For they have broken their sacred vow to their deity, and why should said God respond with favor and blessings to one who broke their oath?
I doubt this is a fully realized motive in most people who say this, but I do believe it to be the underlying logic behind a sentiment that has carried on past the initial reason.
I can understand this, however in my personal case/personal opinion my ex hubby broke his oath/promises to me when he cheated and physically left the state, if that doesn’t say I don’t want you anymore I don’t know what does so I believe I am free(once the paperwork finally goes through) to marry another some day if the right situation arises. Thank you for your comment.
