I think that my marriage is doomed and it is like God has put someone in my life that I would be more compatible with and no matter how much I pray about it or work on it I can't get this person out of my mind. I feel like I have done what I am supposed to do with my current situation and it is time for me to move on...how do I know for sure what God wants me to do??? I have biblical grounds for divorce I just don't know what is the right thing?

Check this out. I believe in God, that makes it my religion, I also believe in the bible, because it is my religion. Now, evolutionist believe in a theory, and dont call it their religion. They believe in what thy read, and dont call it their religion. They get upset about it, but again, no religion.
In a nutshell: I believe God, you believe dirt, because that it what the theory teachess, that all the matter(dirt) in the universe came together...
Again, if you think about it, can evolution not be called a religion?

To all the happy fingers out there, make it a smart answer, please

After his conquest of Mecca, Mohammad killed more satirical poets. He also killed non-poetic or ordinary mockers, and he used a poet to mock a tribe of Jews just before their conquest, slaughter, and enslavement.
The assassination of satirical poets
Once Muhammad reached Medina in AD 622 and gradually grew in military power, his tone and outlook changed. The following murders occur after the Hijrah.
(1) March 624: Al-Nadr bin al-Harith
A Meccan named Al-Nadr bin al-Harith would follow him when he sat in assembly and speak about heroes and kings of Persia, saying, “By God, Muhammad cannot tell a better story than I, and his talk is only of old fables which he has copied as I have.”
(2) March 624: Uqbah bin Abu Muayt
A similar story as that of Nadr can be told about Uqba bin Abu Muayt. He too mocked Muhammad in Mecca and wrote derogatory verses about him. He too was captured during the Battle of Badr, and Muhammad ordered him to be executed. “But who will look after my children, O Muhammad?” Uqba cried with anguish. “Hell,” retorted the Prophet coldly.
HE ALSO ADDRESSED THEM ONCE IN A WHILE
These were the battles of Allah’s Apostle (which he fought), and while mentioning (the Badr battle) he said, “While the corpses of the Meccans were being thrown into the well, Allah’s Apostle said (to them), ‘Have you found what your Lord promised true?” ‘Abdullah said, “Some of the Prophet’s companions said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You are addressing dead people.’ Allah’s Apostle replied, ‘You do not hear what I am saying, better than they.’ (Bukhari )
(3) March 624: Asma bint Marwan
She was a poetess who belonged to a tribe of Medinan pagans who wrote poems mocking Mohammad. The Allah-inspired Prophet heard what she had said, he asked, “Who will rid me of Marwan’s daughter?” A member of her husband’s tribe volunteered and crept into her house that night. She had five children, and the youngest was sleeping at her breast. The assassin removed the suckling child, drew his sword, and plunged it into her, killing her in her sleep.
(4) September 624: Kab bin al-Ashraf
Kab b. al-Ashraf heard about the Muslim victory at the battle of Badr, and he was disgusted, for he thought Muhammad the newcomer to Medina was a trouble-maker and divisive. Kab had the gift of poetry, and after the Battle of Badr he traveled down to Mecca. Arriving in Mecca, he wrote a widely circulated poem, a hostile lament, over the dead of Mecca.
(5) July-August 625: A one-eyed, unnamed Bedouin mocker
(6) After January 630: One singing-girl
What is remarkable about the anecdotes is how the morning prayer provides the setting for a Muslim leaping on a poet and threatening to cut his head off, as if this is an ordinary day and act.

Several times a day, we atheists are challenged to provide proof that God "doesn't" exist.

As we do not believe in a supreme being, we have no burden of proof. That lies with you.

You say he exists. I challenge you to provide me with proof. Leave faith and scripture out of it. I want real evidence.

And since then you've never been the same? Not necessarily a negative thing or something very serious. Just interested to hear your thoughts on this matter.
