He has given me reasons not to trust him. What do you suggest? He doesn't have to worry about the stay-at-home mom that he is leaving with children while he is alone. I've heard the complete opposite. I believe the statistic was the a third of men on business trips are cheating. That is...

Yes, the other managers are going. I have heard that the affair statistics on business trips are pretty bad. I don't understand why he cannot choose to go home as long as he is there for all meetings. Am I being unreasonable? If he tells his work that he would rather go home and drive back...

Before I married my husband, I told him I am insecure about cheating because, unfortunately, my dad did that to my mom and it was awful. That's all I heard growing up and it really ruined my mom's life (she stayed home with kids and didn't work, so after the divorce, she didn't have a way to...

It really is disturbing, isn't it? I hope you don't think I'm condemning the Catholic Church... what makes you think that? I have a lot of free time so I research religious topics that have to do with Christianity. I do not dislike the Catholic church. I just read about something, that led to...

Here is the church with the bone chandelier: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedlec_Ossuary I read that bones and relics of saints were given to different churches so that many catholic churches could have these relics. I'll have to look at my history or find the source again. This link says...

I don't see how making them into chandeliers is being treated with great reverance. I know you are Catholic, so you are desensitized to seeing their bodies like the photos portray, but it's really shocking to others. The Bible shows this was a disgrace to dig up their bodies and scatter their...

It was very relevant to the topic. What part of it do you not understand? I'm not being rude... genuine question. According to the website, t's a disgrace to be treated in that manner and was seen as a punishment from God for worshiping other gods. Why would the catholic saints be treated in...

I kinda did... I said it was an expression of hatred and contempt. Why the animosity? I had to run my kids to school and didn't have time to type out a long response. Basically, it's a violation. Disrespectful. A disgrace. A judgement from God (God's just vengeance) for bowing to idols...

I did read it's known as the "highest expression of hatred and contempt." Here are a couple of sites that explain the verse more thoroughly: http://biblehub.com/commentaries/jeremiah/8-1.htm http://studylight.org/com/bcc/view.cgi?book=jer&chapter=008...

Okay, just got a verse from someone: Jeremiah 8:1-3 King James Version (KJV) 8 At that time, saith the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of...

Thanks for your response. I definitely have no problem with what you are describing. The photos just didn't seem like what you are describing. I'm trying to understand, but I don't quite. I understand what YOU are saying. Just not the rest of it... can you explain the skull with the golden...

So do you think the story of Elisha's bones justifies this practice? Good point on how Jesus and Peter were alive for these incidences.

I don't really know what you mean?

I've been researching the Catholic Church out of curiosity and I have had many questions. There is one that I just can't seem to get an answer to. Why do people kiss bones of dead saints? I saw a skull on a platter (or pillow) and I googled it to find out about it, which led me to another site...

It is very admirable for a man to seek God and not do these things for that reason.
