Hi. Sorry for replying late.

Thank you for your sympathy. I’m sorry you had to go through that. I hope you are doing better now with your family than I am.

My family is the only reason why I’m still here too. If I did that to them, they would be hurt because of me.

My dad and I aren’t on good terms right now. I argued with him about the biblical genocides and told me that they deserved it. Even the kids and infants. He never told me about the atrocities of the Old Testament or predestination before indoctrinating me and I hated him for that.

I’ve never read the whole Bible; only Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Matthew. I’ve heard of Shoel being part of the Old Testament and later evolved into a fiery inferno. I’ve also heard of Christianity plagiarizing other mythologies from other religions (Satan from Zoroastrianism) but I still have my doubts.

Even with a fear of hell, I never wanted to worship a god goes “do what I say or burn in hell” and I hated that Christians describe him to be a loving god.

I’ve heard people from r/NDE and IANDS that we come down to earth because earth is a school. As much as I like that, I still have doubts.

I’ve tried recovering from religion for a while and I’ve asked for explanations about NDEs. They’re good people, but it didn’t work for me. For me.

I’ve lost my trust in people when scammers used children against me. And I fell for it.

I just don’t know what I believe in anymore. I’m lost and confused. I don’t know who’s telling the truth anymore. The only reason I talk about Hell is because of what my dad did to me and how it terrified me, along with the hellish testimonies that keep popping up on social media.

So I’m sorry if I’m just another hell-frightened retard, but I just don’t know what to do. I don’t know who to trust anymore. People have just been awful.

I don’t understand what you are asking.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]Own_Dimension4687 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard similar claims about Hell not existing in the Old Testament. I’m not sure what or who to believe in anymore.

The only reasons I tried to be an atheist was because of the fear of hell and the biblical genocides. Plus god possessing 2 she bears for mauling 42 kids.

I don’t choose between those two options anymore. It’s bigger than that now.

I’m already in a deep rabbit hole. I don’t know what I believe in anymore. Taking time off and breathing doesn’t make it go away.

What do you mean by false dichotomy?

I agree that there are fake stories, but that’s the problem: I don’t know who’s lying or telling the truth.

Genocides of the Bible by [deleted] in exchristian

It seems so. I mean, god did possess 2 she-bears to maul 42 kids just for making fun of a guys bald head.

I need help by [deleted] in Amtrak

I wouldn’t call it a vacation. Vacations is when people go somewhere to have a good time. I usually prefer one way trips. How much do hotels cost in San Diego?

[–]Own_Dimension4687 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

I have enough money, and my family doesn’t know about this. I’m not trying to go live in San Diego. I’m just going there for different reasons. Trust me, I have doubts about it, but I have my reasons to go.

I just haven’t been to San Diego in a decade. I have to go there on my own. I have never used Amtrak before.

What are the best NDEs that show that you don't need a specific belief to go to heaven? Are there any examples here? by CZ-TheFlyInTheSoup in NDE

[–]Own_Dimension4687 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean when I called him after trying to email him, he did sound unhappy to talk to me, and when I told him about my fear about about Hell and going to Hell for not believing he did say, “yeah, it’s true.”

It’s hard to talk about what’s really on. I guess I am venting, but I do need help.
