It’s a tough concept to struggle with. I became an atheist about a decade ago but was a catholic before that. Went to catholic school and all that. Ultimately my understanding led me away from that belief. However, if you don’t want to go that route then it’s important to remember: questioning god is how you grow in faith. You can’t stay stagnant and grow in that belief. And, atheist or not, it’s easy to be confused or frustrated at the current moment, but eventually you can look back on the road that led you to the person you are in the future. Good luck, it’s a hard fight.
I did not chose to believe in god. To be honest I wamtes and tried to be atheist. Faith is not a choice. If we fall logic and stop to think it is much more probabale for him to no exist.
I mean our world is tottally physical, the documents on any " sacred book" has a lot of historical imprecisions .
Faith is a gift/cursed, or you have or you dont have it.
I did not write this post for anyone to convince me of my Faith. I just wanted to vent...
I dont want anybody trying to convert me for atheism and I dont want to convert any of you to my Faith.
Oh I’m not trying to convert you to anything, just saying it’s good and fine to question it all. You can absolutely keep the faith. Don’t want to get too deep into a conversation about faith but you can totally lose it. I was forced into the church and believed + had faith in all of it. But the I started to question and found ultimately that it didn’t make enough sense for me. But I don’t disparage anyone that came to a conclusion that having faith in god is that answer for them. No hate, no conversion, all love.
