God?

[Lorraine Manca]

What are your thoughts on God? Does He give you strength to fight social anxiety or do you feel abandoned or angry? What part does He play in your life? I really want to know what everyone else thinks. What about the idea of some kind of divine plan?

As for me, I'm pretty mixed about it all. I'd really like to believe, and alot of times I do and sometimes I dont.

I feel abandoned....not only by God, but everyone...I feel alone. I feel my life is a let down or a big mistake....I can't beilieve in anything...

 

[mewdew]

I'm an atheist, I can't believe in god because it just doesn't make sense to me..


But if you are able to believe, then I think it can only help. Believing that someone's watching over you and that this is all part of a grand plan and everything will turn out for good in the end can't hurt.

Ignorance is bliss.

 

[Flowers-Of-Bloom]

I'm Christian. To me, imagining the universe exists without him is difficult.
I don't feel abandoned. I feel like I abandoned him.

 

[LLLady]

I do not believe in God per say But I'm a very spiritual person

 

[PunkRotten]

I dont believe in god in the way of these established religions. These religions are made up. But I am spiritual too. I just have my own interpretation of the whole thing. I dont duiscuss with no one and I dont want people talking about their religion with me.


I dont dont blame god or anyone for my problems.

 

[dead24]

I'm confused about this too. I'd really like to believe too but it's hard for me.I don't know if God was just made up by people just to inspire us and I really just don't get the point of existence, did we exist to have a family, love our neighbors etc.??
If we didn't exist in the first place then nothing would happen. If we were created by God then who created God?

I'm also an atheist. The power is within, you just gotta find it.

Well, I'm an atheist and that suited me just fine, even (perhaps especially) when I still had strong SA. The fact that, with atheism, there is no deity to ask for help means that responsibility lays with the individual. Taking responsibility for my own needs and wishes helped give me the drive to do something about it.

Realising that I'd come from thousands and thousands of generations of people who managed to survive life before me, but who didn't watch over me expecting me to succeed, gave me the conviction that I could do it and the encouragement to try.

 

[mmmm]

I believe in God and in my experience, He rocks. I think He gave every person a part in the big ol' plan thingy and some of us shall just have to accept that being lively and talkative is not our gift. I for one do not know what all my gifts are but I believe that they will shine at the right time and not before. In the meantime, I try to enjoy life and my many blessings.

 

[market.garden]

I don't believe in God when I see and hear about the stuff that goes on in the world, but I can see how it would help certain people in certain circumstances.

If anything I believe more in nature being the driving force behind everything, rather than a super-being.

 

[becc]

I was raised as Christian but I left all that behind when I was 11 because no one else at my school was Christian and I was embarrassed that I was. So I just stopped being a Christian. My SAD was a catalyst in stopping me believing in god. I have no desire to go back now because I have a lot more reasons why I am not a christian then just being embarrassed. I am agnostic now

I believe in God and have done so for a long time. The faith he's given to me is strong and has seen me through MANY dark times. Without that faith I seriously doubt I would still be here. With the faith I accept that he has created me exactly the way he wanted to and has a plan for my life...and that plan is good.

 

[worrywort]

yep I believe in God [most of the time!] and I believe he's helped me with my struggles very much. It's difficult to measure as I don't know how my life would've turned out without God in it. Maybe I'd have still found the same answers, maybe I'd be a lot worse, who knows? But at my worst moments, I think what god has given me is the sense that he is with me, and that there is a purpose to everything that I'm going through, and that he will use everything ultimately for my own good, in the long run, so long as I just trust him. Of course it's taken me a long time to trust God. I'm still not sure I've fully accepted that he is all that he claims to be.

but one thing is for sure....ever since I started following God, something dramatically changed inside of me. The bible talks a lot about being born again and being filled with the holy spirit which I know sounds really mental but I just can't explain it any better than that. My senses heightened. My desires all changed. I began to actually enjoy reading the bible [which for anyone who knew me at the time, was a miracle in itself!]. I began to well up everytime I saw a field!!! I dunno, something changed and it gave me hope.

if you'd have asked me before I found God if I was happy with life I'd have said "I don't know", or "no", whereas, since I've found God, my answer has been "yes" every time

 

[fedupoffear88]

THERE'S ONE GOD, AND I DO BELIEVE IN HIM!!!! Always will...Believing that He's the one with all the control over everything and working to overcome your problems and leaving the success of it on God makes one feel there's someone out there who really cares and believes in you. And i've had successes and when i've asked it from God, many times.. Any ways i respect everybody's beliefs

We're too insignificant for any G0d to give a shit. We're nothing more than disposable commodities to be bought, sold and discarded by our betters.

[hippochild]

The only place I feel like my god is helping me is in hippoworld. A hippoist I call myself, the only religion I feel like I fit into.

 

[Lone-Wolf]

I feel the people on the christian channels make a big joke of him....you can tell some of it is fake....you should make fun of your god....
I space out so much that I actually made a new faith in another "world" I space out to...I'm a Zodiai .....my religion isn't from this world...

 

[Jannah]

Sometimes I do sometimes I don't. I have an open mind, but I'm also very skeptical so I can never go towards one direction .
