This section is really crazy...?

Question

So I have to ask a question here.

What would you do if you were a devout Christian and your spouse suddenly decided to worship Satan?

Or...if you don't believe in anything at all, what would you do if your spouse suddenly began attending Church every Sunday and asked you to go along?

I can't wait to see these answers.

AM Enforcer - you just made my day, haha.

Farien - not what I meant. I was simply putting ideas out there. Don't be so judgmental.

Answer 1

The first one is a trick question. When I was married...my wife WAS Satan, so she couldn't have worshipped him.

If she had started going to church, I would have been glad to have some peace and quite for a few hours on Sunday to watch the game.
I wouldn't have a problem with it unless she really started hounding me about going. I've been, thank you. Didn't care for it.

Answer 2

I believe that you are your own person. You believe what you want to believe. If your spouse has different religious beliefs then you can either back them up & support them or if your religion does not allow you to do that, then move on. I've never heard of anyone just suddenly deciding to worship satan. I'm sure there would be a lot leading up to that decision. Also, if my spouse suddenly decided to go to church after not believing in anything at all, I'd go too. Atleast to see why they made that decision. It all depends on what type of person you are.

Answer 3

If i were a devout Christian and my spouse started worshipping Satan, I would pray for him and ask the Lord to tell me what to do. There would probably a seperation as Light has no communion with darkness. I would pray and hope that it would stop.
If i were an atheist and my spouse started attending church i would say do whatever makes you happy, but don't nag at me to go. It would be a much easier union than the scenerio above. This is my opinion.

Answer 4

I am a devout Christian, but not married. however, if I had a spouse and they decided to worship Satan, I would be very worried about them. I would pray that they come to know the truth (and quit with the devil worship bcuz Satan hates everybody's guts and wants them to burn forever in hell, so why worship the dude?)

if I was married and didn't believe in anything at all, I would either A: go once out of curiosity, or B: get mad at my spouse for bugging me about it. or, by the grace of God, C: suddenly see the light and become a Christian.

you're right, this section can get pretty crazy.

Answer 5

Wow! Religious questions are great but this is different. As a christian, we know Satan has no power over God. If a christian turned from God to worship Satan, it is a free choice given. It is a bad choice made. If an atheist were invited to church and accepted this invitation, then they are looking for something greater than their mind can comprehend.

This, of course would put the "atheist" in an awkward scenario because in fact, they could no longer consider themselves atheist.

In all actuality, even atheist have to believe in something. Their own ability maybe? Ha!

Answer 6

If i was a devout Christian and my spouse suddenly decided to worship Satan I would have to leave him. According to the Christian "laws" we could not be together. "unequally yoked"

If i was atheist and my spouse suddenly began attending Church every Sunday and asked you to go along i would not go. He should understand why and respect my views. I would want to make it work but we would have lots of problems when it comes to the children. I know our relationship is not based on us both being atheist but if he tried to push it on our children I would have to get them away from that type of toxic environment. I could not let him brainwash them. Again if he loves me he would understand and not push the issue.

Answer 7

Well if this was to happen then i'm sure it would be some sort of test yes a hard test, if your spouse suddenly began attending Church then only when the time is right can you make that decision of becoming a church person all are lives are written out even before we are born we think we are incontrole but not to the fullest extent surely there must be a higher source involved

Answer 8

Answering the devout Christian whose spouse suddenly decided to worship Satan one:

First of all, there aren't many people who 'worship Satan' but if he did, I wouldn't stay with him because I would be worried about the effects

Answer 9

Bottom line: respect the individual, love the sinner hate the sin? I think I heard my gramma say that many times when I was growing up. I think I detect a bit of mischief within your question. What are you up to??? lol Cool. Okay, I believe people are free to worship whomever/whatever trips their trigger so if my spouse decided to radically change his perspective (on any matter) I would listen to what he had to say, learn what I could from him to be a good listener when he needed to talk about it, and basically let him be who he is provided our relationship remained based on trust, honesty and respect. If his 'belief' became a source of violence or abuse in our relationship or became harmful to my spouse or those around him/us, then I would have to intervene and prevent any further detriment to become reality. Whatever steps necessary to protect him, myself and others. As for the second part of your question, as long as I wasn't doing anything else that day I would probably go with him to church to see what he was experiencing there, but then I would do what I wanted to from that point on. Just because he wants me to do something doesn't mean I have to or will abide by his request. Its all about RESPECT. I really enjoy your "stirring up the waters" attitude. Hope my answer gave you what you were looking for..Peace

Answer 10

I was in the process of becoming a Catholic when I met the man whom I married. He was an unbaptized non-denominational Christian. I invited him to church, and he came with me, but said he would NEVER become a Catholic. Less than three years later, he was baptized at the 'midnight mass' on Easter, and confirmed. He did a small dance after we got home, singing 'I'm a Catholic, I'm a Catholic' ... and recently I asked him why he'd converted after saying he never would. He looked at me and smiled and said 'I just discovered that I had been a Catholic all along.' Catholics ARE Christians, too, although many people think otherwise ... and we are BOTH very happy in our religion now, too, by the way. There NEVER WAS any 'problem' or any 'argument' between us ... we 'discussed' regilious issues before and still do ... perhaps we are 'weird' but we feel very 'right' about being Catholics now ... and one of the 'things' we like best about it is we don't 'evangelize' other people with words ... we are just 'good Catholics' and we'll tell others about giving charity without demanding 'prayer and bible study' first, and other things ... and many do eventually become Catholic, too.

Answer 11

So if we understand your question correctly, the ALTERNATIVE to being a 'devout Christian' is 'not believing in anything at all'. Is that right? Pretty deranged attitude, but ok, I'll play.

If my spouse suddenly started attending church and wanted me to attend, I would:

1. Examine her personal belongings for evidence of drug use.

If I found nothing,

2. Attempt to discover thru conversation what brought on this sudden apparent psychosis.

If that resulted in no answer,

3. Suggest she attend psychological counseling.

If she refused,

4. Seek out a family attorney and begin divorce proceedings.
