(3,476 posts)I know there must be some who are good, principled non-misogynist people, but with much of the Christian bible treating women as the half-wit, temptress, enemy of man, contempt for women seems built in to Christianity.

(39,464 posts)He dismisses his behavior by saying (something like), "Well, sure there's some nasty texts. That's what happens when marriages fall apart."
But when you have kids, it's not best to turn your failing marriage into an all-out war. Anyone who has ever worked in marriage counselling will tell estranged couples that the kids need to feel as much security as possible during a time of great insecurity.
Speaking of which: why the hell is she living in a shelter w/ four children?
His church would do best to cut him loose. They shouldn't want this guy speaking for them.
