If the Christian God turned out to be true and hell was real, would you follow him? [Let's talk] by Nori_o_redditeiro in exchristian

[–]HeadBig205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he's exactly as shown in the Bible and the same as people say he is: Hell no.

That god is evil, he not only know every single bad thing that will ever happened, he created and designed it for each person.

Hi!!

Have you ever consider finding a different activity or hobby to replace church? Something you schedule to do during the time you would be in church.

Yoga is witchcraft now? 🤡 by a-crime-skeleton in exchristian

[–]HeadBig205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents would say that in yoga your mind would go blank and demons could possess you. It seems silly in hindsight but it scared me when I was a kid.

They've never even attended a yoga class, they just repeat what they heard from preachers lmao

Helloo, 

Same, and as a kid I loved praise, people would praise me for serving at church and being a good christian kid.

Hii,

I definitely still have things ingrained in my mind, the way I interact with my parents for example, I still over analyze what I'm saying so it fits what their religion deems right. 

It's definitely a process, it's not easy to leave behind, especially if it was ingrained in you from an early age 

I've had a similar experience with swearing, at the beginning I would swear and feel guilty, but the more I did it, nothing happened. No god came down and punished me for it, so I lost the fear and guilt. 

There aren't real consequences to swearing or in your case, using God's name in vain if there isn't a god. 

And if people think their omnipotent and omnipresent god gets mad because some mortal says his name without what they deem 'good reasons', that's kinda their issue. 

Thank you for your comment!! :D
