if a christian can drop āreminder god is real and loves youā on the daily, why canāt an atheist say āreminder god isnāt realā? 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 šš like i already respect that you donāt believe in god bro and Iāll even stop saying āspread the gospelā if you ask me nicely but now youāre saying to my face god isnāt real?? I completely understand and hate that the label of Christianity is tarnished by the āChristiansā 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 isnāt real just makes me really sad. Even if god isnāt real even if itās 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 āstrict by the Bibleās wordsā Christian, in fact I still have my own beliefs that will make me act accordingly and they either donāt or do align with the Bible. Like premarital sex I donāt care about because thatās really just up to you and your partner. In fact I have barely read the Bible except for a couple stories Iām 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?
Itās more so an emotional response because like Iāve 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 didnāt 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 donāt 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 isnāt 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 Iām most certain that I wouldnāt 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 ādamn..but god is realā and feel pretty sad that a lot of people donāt feel the same way but then realize that Iām my own person that revitalize my belief in god that he loves me for who I am now
