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.

Not seeking reassurance, just prayers
Lately my OCD has been very horrible, it’s been more convincing than ever to the point where I’m genuinely convinced that I like this stuff, when I get a thought, I’ll hear my intrusive thoughts go “oooh, I like that, I’d do that.” and I just don’t freak out nor feel bad, I just feel like I like it even more, and feel like I would do/act on it and like it, and the feeling is strong and it lingers forever? It genuinely feels like I do, and I’m just lying now, i can’t tell if I make these thoughts worse or anything All I remember mostly just being like confused sometimes when these thoughts happen, but since I’m getting strong emotions that I like it, my brain says that means I did and I’m worried about that being true because I don’t understand nor know It’s like I am resisting to like this stuff now, it’s even tougher now than it was before

Is this happening to you?
Does anyone else ever feel like they don’t feel “bad enough” to have OCD, or that they don’t feel “the right way” for it? Or like they’re just saying they have OCD as an excuse? Because i was so much better for like 3 weeks now and now im on my period and i started doubting again. So because of that im scared that i was feeling to good and that my fear is actually true.

Relief followed by questioning that relief
Does anyone else experience a moment of clarity where you feel strong relief that the intrusive thought isn’t true, only to then immediately start questioning if you’ve only convinced yourself that because you don’t want the thought to be true? I’m pretty confident it would take some crazy mental gymnastics to actually successfully convince myself I didn’t do something that I deep down knew I did, but every time I resist the compulsions and try to sit with the uncertainty or tell myself to think about what is logical, I usually briefly know that this probably didn’t happen but am unable to move on out of fear I’m just in denial and have convinced myself of that.
