Domestic violence-how we offer spiritual support?

Domestic violence is not a religion

Domestic violence is not aware of any person or religion. You can see, when it is abused, it happens every day in the Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Catholic or Hindu origin. Also appear daily in houses atheists or agnostics. I suppose we can say domestic/intimate partner violence is a matter of religions. So, what do to with this dilemma?

Say Christianity is a form of punishment for a Muslim, or vice versa? Religion, who has upset matters like this?

What we do for those who completely alienated from organized religion, self-righteous individuals have become critical or dogma? Can work in panels of the denomination or religion and work together to help all victims of these religions? We can sit together and find out what they are victims of domestic violence/intimate partner violence or sexual needs and solutions, and then, in turn, to our community by applying what they learn to find and the injured, broken, bruised and battered plot back us asylum? And don't forget, shelter is not only a building-is also a part of the peace and security.

Most of us have a religious practice in the selection. Some have chosen to not worship God altogether. Nothing prevents us from having the ability to ask prayer or spiritual support in these terrible times as serious of a spouse or intimate partner, regardless of location or our mental state.

And what about couples of the same sex? Yes, the domestic violence takes place there, too.

This is not so much about what to do, but rather to the problem- what can be done? the judgmental, condemn, trying to force our beliefs on another at a time when they are less likely to be able to listen and absorb what is being said is counterproductive.

So, how can we deal with love and support to victims of domestic violence/intimate partner who is not of our faith-or do we even bother to try?
