Years ago there was a woman in my old church her husband left her for another woman and this church was so mean to her. One woman actually had the nerve to tell this poor suffering woman it is your fault that your husband left you you must have done something to want him to leave you. She was implying that his needs were not being met which was false because this woman was pregnant by her husband when he took off with another woman.
Why do christians have a hard time dealing with people who get divorced or have other needs? Why do some people think everything has to be happy all the time?
Why cant some christians accept that people are human and bad things happen to good people at times?

Their attitude toward the woman answers your question...they, too, are imperfect. Forgive them.

Why cant you stop acting like what 1 Christian does we all do?
we are human too stop ridiculing and accusing us of everything another does.
In my eyes its both their fault because i do not know the intentions of the husband. They came to a disagreement and divorced big deal. I wouldn't say anything to this women, just try to make her feel better.
Next time consider that what one christain does is not what we all do.
That is like saying why do all girls murder their parents, because 1 did.

Because obviously the women who said that to the pregnant women was hypocritcal, because any God loving Christian wouldn't say that, instead she should have offered help, and some of us are mean liek that because they think the world is perfect when it isn't and some can't just face that life sometimes happens and people seperate.

These Christians are not the genuine article and are not representative of all Christians. A real Christian knows that divorcees are not second class citizens. Your scenario sounds a little contrived there satchmo. lol

You should know that lying on your back - simply being present during the sexual act - can get you pregnant - and this type of behavior isnt meeting the needs of most men...
Open yourself to other possibilities. Its entirely possible that she used a turkey baster to impregnate herself, and her husband hasnt had a real physical relationship with her EVER - you dont know that.

Thats one of the things I so love about the more extreme elements of all religions (not just Christianity) - compassion!
Didn't someone say something like 'Lord forgive them because they don't know what they do!'

Many do, it's just that some jump to conclusions about the reasons for the divorce and don't look into the whole picture.

Sympathy and empathy are attributes of Love. God is Love. What does the actions of these "believers" tell you?
