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.

Believing in God is also a matter of faith. Believing that thoughts have power is also a kind of faith. But people say we should believe in God — then why shouldn’t I believe that thoughts have power too?

Why is my mind saying I should say my thoughts out loud and that it will be ok, I don't want to because it goes against my beliefs and it freaks me out because my mind is like you've done this and this an other bad things this can't hurt you, saying it will give you peace and it just randomly started yesterday and idk what to do. It's like I have no will power to want to stop it's like my mind wants me to say it and idk what to do.

In my head I told God to do something terrible to me that doesn’t even make sense because I’m a girl. I’ve had this thought before but it felt definitely like I felt like I meant it and I didn’t feel guilty I’m scared I’m not a Christian
