Not trying to be arrogant here, but I don't understand why a God that is supposed to be all knowing and giving and loving would want a couple to have 10 children and drive them into the poor house, or why God would allow such a thing as his own representatives in the church to sexually abuse children, or have sex with women who are members of the church, then they church transfers the priest when they become pregnant. It has happened quite often. If the idea is to abstain during the fertile periods, then a H having sex during that time is not going against everything they were taught? I do understand we are human and will make mistakes, and that we pray to God for forgiveness of these mistakes. I just have a hard time dealing with abuse to children.
I mean no disrespect towards you or anyone else on this board, like I said, I believe in God, I pray and yes, its very unfortunate that the behavior of people drove me from the church. You and HP answered my question very nicely, thank you. I wish everyone on here the best, whatever their religion.
