God

It’s entitled “God.” It doesn’t state Christianity or Judaism, therefore Islam and the Quran are open to criticism, but you chose Judeo-Christian beliefs and holy book. Buddha is worshiped as a God as is Vishnu of the Hindus, yet you chose the Bible. Why?

Because most of us were raised as Christians, and most of the posts here are about the Christian god. Personally, if I were to pick on a particular false god, it would be the god of Democracy. But that wouldn't have fit the conversation.
 
Let me ask you this - why do you specifically come after the Bible and Christianity and not Islam or Hinduism? Honest question.
Christianity definitely gets picked on the most. I think because it's the most prominent religion in western culture. To me, Mormons, Jehovah witness, and Scientology are more like cults than religions. No offense to anyone who practices these religions except Scientology. Fucking spaceships and Diane....
 
What’s yalls opinion on god?

Just thinking about this because I saw my aunt a month back and she’s pretty old. Completely lost it. Total religious nut over the top. Her answer for everything bad that happens in life is because the devils in charge of this world. Thinks praying to god actually makes any sort of fuckin difference. U get the picture.

My life has been shit since my mom got cancer and died when I was 11. Big fuckin deal that’s the least of my worries these days.

Point is, how the fuck am I supposed to pray to god and have some sort of fuckin hope in life when everything has gone wrong since before I could think for myself? Faith in religion is definitely on a string these days. Think I hate god more than I don’t believe in him.
I don’t fuckin know anymore. I think if there is a god I’d rather never meet him, I’d rather forget this life ever happened in the first place honestly.

But yeah what’s ur opinion on god the whole religion thing. Drives me up the wall when people saying praying actually does something. I think people just see shit they wanna see.
350lift, I've stood at the edge of myself so many times thinking those kinda thoughts, and feeling close to how you might feel about God and the life we are given.. and how i never recalled asking to be part taker in this gift of life/curse of life. I dont remember saying yes or no to a god who said dance fucker... God was simply my mother and father at my earliest memories 0-6 or 7yrs old....

At age 10, i remember i hated God for some very fucked up shit that happened... like really fucked up shit. I told myself i would never be a victim like that ever again, so i let hate into my life and it continued for many many years till i hated everything equally i tore the very foundation of my roots and said fuck it all ... all i can remember is how truly ungrateful i was and i wanted to be anywhere else but in my own skin.. but never cared much to take my own life. i always thought one day i will be badass enough to be the hero that i needed as a child.
(Time can heal all wounds but you need to know what your healing from first)
You need to understand there is nothing you need from outside yourself, everything you need comes from the endless well from with in.

2008 God showed up and responded to me in the most profound and personal way..i was an addict, a slave to my own addictions. So that day i said yes..and it was my choice.... no-one shamed me into it, or tried to force me to believe, tho many tried to but that wasnt my reason....... since then i continued to relapse from time to time. No bodys perfact we all have weaknesses but i would go a few yrs then relapse..but my life got better in the fact that i now know who i am, i know what I'm made of/ capable of. I know that God is with me always No matter what.
My opinion on God is God is good. He saw me in my lowest and still cared enough about me to save me from myself.. but if i could go back and change just one thing about my past i would not. Nope not one thing Because every step molds us into the men and woman we become.. no matter how fucked up we may have treated others or how painful growing up could be. If you trust God with your life he will liberate you from death and give you life

Psalms say be still and know that i am God.

I hope this helps

This is awesome. Not what happened to you in your life early on, but the redemption and healing. Thanks for sharing bro because it’s not always easy to do.

Appreciate the post brotha means a lot.

I’m a bit tore up over this shit still. It’s like my life was so messed up and this was my way out and it really was, til it got ruined 6 months in.

Kinda feels like all Hope was permanently taken away. But I’m still young and super dramatic about shit that I know I’ll probably get through.

I still have a lot of growing to do to develop my opinion on all this stuff. I don’t think I’ll truly have an idea on it all until atleast my 30s.

For now I should do my best to stop getting so personal and dramatic but some of it just has me questioning how something like this could happen to someone. It’s not really one thing it’s cumulative build up if events.

But it could be so much worse. I always forget that and I always forget I’m not the only one because people don’t put their problems on display so it’s hard to remember other people got shit when you don’t see it constantly.

Idk been a wierd life for me. A lot different than most people my age I’d say. But it could be much worse.

Thanks again for your thoughts

I’m at the stage like u right now where I’m trying to be hopeful but I walk around hating everything. Been like that for years. As you said it’s just going to take time. But you’re right I guess I gotta know “what” is going to take time to heal

I'll bite.
Shouldn't
But I will.

People can believe what they want.
When I was a broke junkie, yeah I prayed.
No one helped me.
When I went through some seriously fucked up years as a kid, no one helped me.

You know when my life got better?
When I said "fuck you" to any higher powers and manned up.
Lifes been great since I stopped believing in any God.
I'm Agnostic, so if someone can prove irrefutably that God exists... I still wont pray, but I'll acknowledge his existence.
Do you, I'll do me.
Believe in God, right on broskis good on you.
I just assume that no one in life will EVER help me or comfort me.
That's my job for the people around me that I care about.
If God is our father, hes doing a pretty crap job of it lol.

That’s the problem: God isn’t everyone’s father - only those who have trusted in Jesus Christ. Expecting someone else’s dad to take care of you is absurd and we wouldn’t do that to an earthly person, so why would we do that with a far greater being? Consider it this way: if you go through the adoption process and then the father who adopts you continues to neglect you and abuse you, yeah - that’s a crappy job of taking care of you. Why do we look at the spiritual any different than we do the natural? The fact that we have air to breathe and food to eat is proof enough of a greater being. If you choose to ignore that and chalk that up to evolution or chance or whatever, you’ve already chosen against God. Sounds harsh, but the spiritual aspect is no different than the physical.

Gods not going to do that for you. Hes there to help you find the inner strength to do it yourself. You did just that! I'm not religious in any way just my understanding of God. I fell into that trap as a teen, thinking God wouldnt let my dad die if I prayed(begged) enough. I mean I did everything that the church asked of me. I went every sunday, took sunday school. Went through communion and confirmation. Even went to Catholic school for a while. My dad died anyway. I didnt blame God though because we are mortal after all, right?

Whether there is one or not, it makes a lot more sense to say my decision brought me where I am today and my decisions will get me out of it. Whether that’s god showing me that or not idk.

This accutane been making me think too much lately. My life was pretty good despite everything a month ago. 5 more months of this trash drug. Atleast my acnes gone.

Honestly I’m blaming “god” for shit because I can’t accept the fact that if I didn’t touch m1t I wouldn’t have the scars I do. All I had to do was not touch one drug, end my cycle and I would be so happy right now.

That’s what fucks me up.

And I can never keep my damn mouth shut when it comes to this personal shit either I gotta stop

Let’s put it this way if I woke up tomorrow and my scars were gone I wouldn’t be whining about anything. So I’m just being an overdramatic bitch lately
