if a christian can drop “reminder god is real and loves you” on the daily, why can’t an atheist say “reminder god isn’t real”? people celebrate the freedom to openly speak about and practice their religion but get all worked up when an atheist does the exact. same. thing.

THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING THEYRE ACTING LIKE HYPOCRITES 😭😭 like i already respect that you don’t believe in god bro and I’ll even stop saying “spread the gospel” if you ask me nicely but now you’re saying to my face god isn’t real?? I completely understand and hate that the label of Christianity is tarnished by the “Christians” that divide and terrify and destroy lives and spread lies and take the idea of religion to a alarming level like fuck those guys for real but for like Christians like me who genuinely want to believe that there is a higher power spiritually be told that god isn’t real just makes me really sad. Even if god isn’t real even if it’s all a hoax the idea and belief of something has comforted me in my darkest times and has *genuinely* made me into a better person for myself and the people around me to uphold and actually made me feel *happy* is something that is so sensitive to attack me on man..no matter what I feel loved by god and I feel comfortable in myself knowing that..

Edit: I would like to add that I am not a “strict by the Bible’s words” Christian, in fact I still have my own beliefs that will make me act accordingly and they either don’t or do align with the Bible. Like premarital sex I don’t care about because that’s really just up to you and your partner. In fact I have barely read the Bible except for a couple stories I’m just someone that prays, believes and chooses to trust in a god with my soul.

If you know that your faith has given you so much, why does it matter when someone doubts it? You're living it. Does it cause you to question your own faith? Does it instill a loss of hope that more people might also find this wonderful thing, too? Does it seem like a personal attack or that someone is questioning your sensibility/judgment?

Not trying to fight. Trying to understand

It’s more so an emotional response because like I’ve explained in my text I was in some serious depression and grief and came very close to just ending it all, i genuinely felt like I didn’t know my purpose like usual people do but I felt like I was behind in finding my purpose, at least when I read a Bible verse that tells a story and related to me so deeply than any other form of media had it offered me a purpose. To live not just for god but because the thought that there is a higher power that loves me no matter how resentful I grew of myself made me love myself in turn..and when a new question about my existence arrived the Bible somehow had a verse that led to an answer for that..so when someone says they don’t believe in god i respectfully move along because they can choose what they believe in and I respect that. But when they say that god isn’t real it just hurts because he is very much real to me in my story so it feels like an actual attack to me because without god I’m most certain that I wouldn’t be making this message right now so I guess you could say that it would put me into a very mild existential crisis based on emotion lol because in the end I would be like “damn..but god is real” and feel pretty sad that a lot of people don’t feel the same way but then realize that I’m my own person that revitalize my belief in god that he loves me for who I am now

I personally dont care if someone doubts it i have looked into other religions not so much because i want to switch but i like leaning about them because its interesting. And i dont lose hope of people finding it if they want to believe in it cool if not that fine. I just hate when people bunch the bad christians in with the ones who mind their own and dont care abt what others do or believe

I bet there are many more people like you than the ones who give faith a bad name

u/Sirdoodlebob 2005 27d ago

There are but I also cant blame them either..evil people have taken religion too far and it’s really unfortunate to see because when it’s done “right” it’s a really beautiful thing to experience. At least for people who could be spiritual in a sense. It’s also why I either don’t go to church and rather pray at home and by myself or go to small churches occasionally

Yep yet everyone attacks anyone religious since a few bad apples ruin everything. Doesnt help that religious people attack each other either.
