They’ve always been religious but like in the sane way. Now that the divorce is happening, they’ve gone full Evangelist style batshit lecturing about how sinful everyone’s lives are. What can I do?

    If they’re Christian:

    Matthew 5:32 ESV

    But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

    They’ve always been religious but like in the sane way.

    Try and encourage them to stay in a Church if it’s a well established sane one. Maybe get them to go to fellowship events there or meet with friends. Isolating themselves is the worst thing for them.

      Okay, wow. That translation is… something.

      In mine, it doesn’t say “except on the groubs of sexual immorality”, but “unless the marrage is unlawful”. There is a world of difference there.

      Mine is New American, Revised Edition.
