Still here. Still not detached... (Part 2)

[Chris73]

Went to another Divorce Care group session last night. Frankly, it was a little too "churchy" for me. I respect and appreciate the fact that these groups are provided virtually free of charge, and I don't deny anyone's right to believe/worship who/what they want. Whatever gives you genuine comfort and helps you make it through difficult days can never be bad.

That being said, in the 2-hour session (video, big group discussion, and small group discussion) we spent a lot of time praying, talking about praying, quoting bible verses, contemplating sin, and talking about surrendering to God's will as the solution for most problems.

Perhaps I'm just too rigid in my thinking. I can usually reframe abstract discussions about God into something I can relate to (the divine within us, the power of the universe, etc.), but I just couldn't relate to this group. I felt a bit like an outsider, pretending to go along with the ideas that I really don't subscribe to.

The other issue is that out of 10-12 participants, I'm the only guy. So I'm still on the hunt for another support group that might be more appropriate.
