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.

How is it ignorant when my belief is that there 100% is not a God and science backs me up? U can have ur own beliefs but I know God doesn't exist, and that is my belief. sorry

@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.

Scared
I feel like I dont have control of what I say in my head that I feel like it's not me saying those things. I was trying to pray and I was cursing at God and the spirit and now I'm scared because I feel like it's me and not an intrusive thought. I have an appointment later and I was trying to pray about that in my head but now that I did that I feel like things will go wrong .

Rapid fire praying
Idk if this is common. Praying for something to me currently just seems just like a thought. So if I want a fantasy “amen.” This includes a fantasy where I’m escaping the world from aliens and go on a space adventure, and a bunch of people die. But I prayed for that quickly cause I wanted the fantasy aspect and said “amen” in my head and didn’t feel like a bad person. I don’t think I’d normally pray for it. Then ocd inserted a fantasy where the aliens attack a specific group of people. Well I like the fantasy idea. So I prayed for it in my head and said “amen,” and didn’t feel like a bad person. But I’m wondering if I am. This praying stuff then can apply to all sorts of things I want, including any desires that maybe I shouldn’t have. I prayed to pray for it, so technically I prayed for it. It doesn’t seem bad to me at first, but it might be. I don’t know if this makes sense. Before this prayer obsession, I wouldn’t have thought much about this

Is it possible?
I don't even believe in God but I start praying every time I am anxious and when something doesn't go the way I planned I just think that it's because I disappointed Him. What the fuck is wrong with me?! I even keep a necklace that make me feel protected and when I get over the anxiety attack I just feel so stupid.
