When I got a divorce, my Christian friends gossiped and judged.
Proverbs 17:17
My Christian friends said things like “We have the right to know why you are going this” –Michelle, bridesmaid and friend of 8 years; “I don’t even know you anymore.” –Leigh Ann, bridesmaid and friend of 8 years; “I love you but I don’t agree with you.” –Jeni, bridesmaid and friend of 8 years; “You will loose everything you ever worked for” –RH, pastor’s wife whose church I served in for 8 years; “I’m sorry that you gave up your place in eternity for this,” –Jeff, Charlotte
My Christian friends forwarded emails about my personal business.
My Christian friends said “This is not OK.”
My non-Christian friends said “Are you OK?”
My Christian friends need to surround themselves with other people just like them to justify their own insecurities.
My Christian friends were scared it could happen in their own marriage.
My Christian friends called me ‘selfish.’
My Christian friends were unhappy for themselves.
My Christian friends haven’t called me once since the divorce.
I’m so glad I’m not a Christian anymore.
Proverbs 17:17

"My non-Christian friends are secure with their spouses because they did not choose them based on spiritual delusion."
This is my favourite. The criteria are so different when you are choosing a Christian husband.
..and my christian friends said they'd be there to show me the way when I decided to "return to God".
My non-christian friends were just there for me.
keep up the honesty! :)

...and this is why you are not only my sister, but my friend. If anything, I'd say you snapped out of some mind warp and stepped back into reality where kindness and honesty reign over elitism.
