There are many famous religious who were and are scientists. To say it’s not scientifically is ignorant. There are many things science cannot explain. Science and Religion co-exist. There may be a God and there’s the possibility there may not. Speaking as a person of Faith, it’s very possible that God answered your prayer to give you a sign of existence. It’s very common occurrence noted in many conversions of atheists or agnostics. God doesn’t always answer prayers sometimes he does and sometimes he doesn’t if it’s not according to his will. Don’t expect that your next prayer will be answered because that’s not how prayer works. If he does be joyful and glad but don’t fret on it if it’s going to rob you of your peace by trying to prove his existence.

@abrjsbrjabrhsbdh It’s ignorant because you have OCD and you know very well that certainty does not exist.

@crxsss Yes, they are entitled to believe whatever they wish and we all should be tolerant of everyone’s beliefs.

Hey you never know. Science can’t disprove god and it also can’t prove god. The uncertainty is OK. Personally I believe in god but of course, it’s impossible to have total certainty either way, that is why it’s called belief.

I think this is a great theme to use the “maybe, maybe not” technique. There’s absolutely no way for you to be 100% sure that it’s a coincidence or not/ if religion is real or not. Personally I am religious and I did develop a bit of ocd over it at one point but I accepted that I may be wrong and there’s no way to know for sure and that helped a lot. Just beleive what makes you happy. If believing in God makes you unhappy you don’t have to beleive in that. Stop trying to prove your beliefs wrong or right because at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter.

Religion related thoughts
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❤️

I’m afraid that I don’t believe in God anymore.
I need some help. I keep having thoughts that I don’t believe in God anymore or that I don’t want to believe in God. I have always believed but I just recently started following him more closely. I did ask for Jesus to come into my heart. But now I’m scared that I have lost my salvation. It’s hard to read and pray and I keep getting thoughts that I don’t believe what I reading or that God won’t forgive the sins that I have done. I have been having panic attacks and I’m afraid I’m going to go to hell or I’m afraid that it’s true and I don’t believe in God. I’m also afraid that since God does know my heart what if it truly isn’t for him. I just need some help I’m afraid I’m never going to get back to normal.

Prayed for world war 3
This wasn’t an ocd intrusive thought necessarily. It wasn’t really a well thought out prayer either. I was in the middle of a prayer obsession. I was thinking of things I could pray for. I wanted to die, so without really thinking it out too much I thought “please let world war 3 happen, amen,” and then didn’t really care and regretted it afterward. It feels insignificant to me, but it’s bad to most people. This is a common thing with a lot of prayers and I’m not sure why. I’m not normally a malicious person. I don’t know if the difference is people think I care a ton when I do them, sit down and have a connection with god, and say them. I’m not very religious and know nothing is going to happen. This has happened for other prayers too. I don’t have a desire to keep praying for stuff like that to happen, but I did, and I did stuff like that for a lot of other things too. And I meant it in the moment, but couldn’t have care less 2 seconds afterward.
