Religion and LTTC: Did this push you towards or away from religion?

[Deb111]

what about the religious people who tell us that its up to god if we have a baby, they are blaiming him aren't they? what would you say to them? Its coming up for christmas visiting time and I know this will be said to me just I wast want ideas of what i could say to them.

Personally, if they came at it from that angle, I would turn it around on them and ask them what you have done that would make them think God would NOT want to bless you with a child?

I also think Maurie's reply is great

I just wanted to say how impressed I am that we're all respecting each other's opinions when it comes to religion. It's easy to get into a flame war, especially being in a sensitive area of BNB. Thankfully, we all give each other the same respect and compassion that some of us don't receive physically in our daily lives.

I agree! I have seen a lot of threads turn into a flame war lately

I'm just beginning to lurk in the LTTTC forum after 14 months ish of trying, and I know it's not long really, but I just don't feel like I fit in in the TTC forum anymore.

I am a Christian... and most of the time I do feel like my faith in God is helping me to be at peace with all this... so far at least.

But I mainly just wanted to echo what's been said, it's so good to see people respecting each other on here, even when we are so very different.

This is a great well balanced thread. I do believe in God but like many women here it is being tested. While I was pregnant( 7 1/2 short weeks, after 1 year ttc) I thanked God everyday but now that I am mc it is a struggle- I really don't want to go to church on Christmas day singing "religious" music- it just doesn't feel right and I couldn't bare any horrid judgmental comments (i get those sometimes especially because DP and I arent "legally married" but are childhood sweethearts happily together over 12 years). However I am trying to stay positive. This entire experience (especially at present) has strengthened my relationships ( especially to DP) to a level I never thought possible so I thank God for such an amazing loving DP, friends and family. My "church" is them right now. Their love is keeping me strong and I am so grateful for that!!!

Hi all i have read all you comments and its so nice to know there are alot of people out there that do have a belief in God weather its not as strong now as it was.

I'm a very religious person and i love God with all my heart. After i had My first MC i was so upset but praying to God helped me. In the Bible it says that Adam and Eve went against god which then made them imperfect and that Satan was then there leader in a way cos God wanted them to be perfect and live forever. This helps me cos God is a Loving God who wants to see everyone happy, but he cant help until its his time to do so and he only knows this. he has to give Satan his time ruling this world and then God will step in and change it all for the better. i know people will ask but why, when, how? This is all explained in the Bible. i know alot of religions dont ready the bible for what it is just pick things out of it to suit them. But there is alot in there that does need explaining and its deep very deep!

i respect you all and your all very strong women! xxx
