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.
@Erebus i mean you still have to respect other people’s beliefs
@crxsss Yes, they are entitled to believe whatever they wish and we all should be tolerant of everyone’s beliefs.
@Erebus thank you.
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.
I just had the weirdest coincidence involving ocd. I don't want to get much into it but I didn't do one of my rituals and the EXACT thing I feared happened. It feels crazy but I don't know what to do, Literally can't get it out of my mind. I literally don't know if I'll ever be the same again. I'm terrified and convinced it can't be a coincidence.
RELIGIOUS I’m scared of God and I’m keeping a safe distance. I’m not leaving him completely I’m just talking to him from far away. If I get too close to him I’ll end up getting hurt. Just because I’m scared of him doesn’t mean I don’t love him either. I want to talk to him but ocd is saying I can’t because I’ve done too many problematic things and he’s judging me for it. So I’m avoiding praying as much as I can. This is painful. I really wish I would’ve come to find God when I was older and I wouldn’t have to question everything he did. I’d just go along with it because I would understand that I have to. Ocd really just fucks Up the idea of God. Completely. It says he’s sending me to hell anyway despite me believing he died and is coming back. It says hes sending me to hell because I’m too problematic. And it says he’s ignoring my prayers because he’s pissed with me. I want Gods attention but not that much attention because then he will see it as a chance to hurt me and call it “ a test of faith.” I even prayed to Mary and asked her to tell God what I need to tell him. Idk how praying to Mary works but I just trusted she told him. I sound so stupid but I’m lost and I just want to leave this alone until I need it. Because this isn’t healthy but I’m scared to make it healthy
I keep randomly getting scary evil/ demonic images or thoughts in my head. I can’t specifically describe how or what they are but I just feel scared & unsettled I feel like I’m possessed or that a devil is controlling my mind or something! I’m catholic I haven’t really been that religious but I’ve been so scared that I started praying to feel better and I feel like I need to pray to make whatever this is go away. I never believed in possession I’m more of a scientific based person however I’ve reached the point where my beliefs aren’t firm anymore I feel scared I don’t know what to believe it’s like I’m slowly believing my mind is being controlled I’m scared :( is something severely wrong with me? Is possession / devils real? Do I have a severe mental illness am I going crazy / developing psychosis or becoming delusional?? :(
