It’s easier to believe in god when you leave organized religion and read philosophy. “Sky daddy” is ridiculous to me but aquinas’ views of God being the underlying essence of fully actualized potential that manifests a reality of agents attempting to fulfill the extent of their own potential (i.e. imitate godliness)? I kinda fw it.
I just give up completely. Religion is how a lot of ppl keep up hope. I prayed for me and my family’s health and was not answered and I lost hope. And I don’t really care for the “He brings you challenges so you can overcome them” storyline, because I don’t want to believe in someone who would hurt me.
That’s a tragic story, I will pray that someday you will understand where God was in all of that. It does sound like you were taught some wrong things about God though. If ever you want to hear the experience of someone who converted the other way feel free to message me, or DM if you want.
First of all I am so sorry for things you went thru and u didn’t deserve none of that. But please don’t let man’s evil nature determine your faith with God. Remember we all have free will. And I do agree on how many hypocrites spread the gospel. But bro don’t keep us all in the same box we are not all the same. Love you bro
So many hatful people believe themselves to be ‘christian’s’ and it’s extremely unfortunate. You cannot truly commit to Jesus Christ and be a worldly person. Worldly in the context of not practicing the fruits of the spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. People who don’t practice this, unfortunately, are not completely devoted to Christ.
Lmao she has her own brain and religious trauma to figure it out. She’s a poly mother of 20 now and I’m childless, why would I have more influence over her than her own experiences 😂😂 my trans brother figured it out without me too! I know it might be a difficult concept for you that people can make up their own minds without external influence from peers but it happens.
