As someone who’s non-religious but is a philosopher in this regard, I do indeed believe in a higher power. You don’t “know” if there’s one or not, you choose to believe in one or believe. I’m a hardcore evolutionist and science fanatic, and I can guarantee you that it doesn’t disprove the existence of a god I’m any sort of way. But it does prove some stories are not as they were. I personally believe a lot of the stories in the Bible are meant to be metaphorical, instead of being taken literal it’s meant to instill a message to your interpretation. Atheists and theists tend to stick the finger at each other and say “I hate you because you don’t believe in god” or vice versa. They claim they know the answer to this question, but that’s for you to decide. People can try to prove or disprove god all they want, but they can’t. It’s your own decision to make. P.S. And I find it funny there’s actually apart of the brain dubbed “the god brain” which actually is for the purpose of believing in a higher power. Hmmmmmm sounds like there is one to me.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just know that everyone questions this whether they have OCD or not? it’s okay to question your faith:) just know that what causes you distress is the ocd ruminations and obsessions!

If you weren’t destined for heaven Would you choose eternity in Hell or nothing like before you were born?

I don't care about heaven. Heaven isnt why I want to believe in God.

I believe in the power God or some higher power I feel it in everything. I think ocd is connected with it somehow in the sense of through the suffering comes redemption

I know this is an old post, but I thought I’d comment anyway. I was raised a Christian and I believe that many of the flaws in the theory of evolution are too big to ignore, but perhaps one of the biggest reasons why I believe in God is because there have been too many “coincidences” in my life for them to actually have been coincidences. Answered prayers, difficult situations in my life working out perfectly, and people being placed in my life at exactly the right time. So much in my life has unfolded so seamlessly that I can’t believe God does not exist.

my ocd has really been taking its toll on me lately. i feel completely unloved by God. i use to feel it, but now i just kinda feel a hole. i talk to Him everyday, and read devotionals. i spend time with Him. i just can’t feel Him. i know a relationship with God isn’t based on feelings, but on faith. i guess my faith is running a bit low. i’m just tired and my thoughts get worse. it’s like a roller coaster.

I don't really know if it's OCD, but lately I've been thinking a lot and in a very obsessive way that every single one of my actions, words or even thoughts will affect on how God will make decisions about my life. For example, if I lie to someone or yell at them out of anger, God will make happen something bad to me as a "punishment". I know it might seem silly, but it really really freaks me out sometimes... Does anyone feel the same? And if so, do you do something in particular to feel better? Thanks for your understanding❤️

Have any of you ever felt like God is perfectly capable of helping you with your mental health, but just chooses not to for some reason, and so you get angry and frustrated? Bc I feel that way sometimes, but i don’t stay mad for too long. But whenever i’m not frustrated, i’m just feeling hopeless, like why is this going on?
