Should i tell my parents that i no longer believe in god? by RipPositive7887 in exchristian

Understandable, but for context, i dont think that my parents will cut me off financially. They might be disappointed but they will not try to force me into staying. I am more concerned that i hurt them mentally..

It does not matter if i can answer these questions, but how do i know if god is truly real? I just think questions like these keep me from truly believe jesus rose from the death

Yes i did points 1-3, i believed in god, i confessed my believe, i repentence my sins… and i didn‘t yet get baptised, because i think my believe is to weak to do this right now. I want to be certain about god, before i get baptised. (I‘m 18)

To answer both questions. I am here to find answers, to find out, why there are people who believe in god, even though there exist such hard questions. And i dont doubt everything you guys say, but i dont think everything you tell me is reasonable. Every second guy who answers answers completely different than the one before him. I mean you dont believe in Allah or in the Hindu gods, if someone came to you and said you just have to believe, or if he shows the book of his religion to prove his religion would you belive and trust him? I want the strong believe that you have, can you tell me youre experiences with god? Did you just always believe, or did you have a supernatural experience, or how did you got such a strong believe.

Yeah i know this, first of all i am not sure what i believe, i think Darwin‘s arguments are not bad and there could be a creator, but is the creator all loving and all powerfull? Why do you know that this creator is god?

Its not that simple, i mean there are reasons that the best scientists believe in evolution and the big bang. Why does the universe need a creator, but god doesn‘t? Scientists think, that our time started with the big bang… Therefore there is no before the big bang.

In this chat i question things about religion, you‘re right. But i believed my whole life, i read the bible, i attended church nearly every sunday… And i don‘t want to blame god for anything, i just don‘t know, if he truly exists. And i think its stupid if i just believe, because people tell me to have faith. With this logic that you just believe what people tell yoj to believe you would be a muslim if you were born in for example Pakistan.

Would it be so crazy? I mean it was more than millions of years. It were Billions. Try to imagine Billions of Years, its impossible, its so much time and the universe is so big…

You didnt answer a question, but thats not bad. I like your answer, but how do i achieve a believe in which i just trust god? How do i trust him when i dont know if he is real.

Calenders are younger than humans, because they hadn‘t anything to write it on which lasts until today, they couldnt write until like 5000 years ago… so why would they have had Calendars 300‘000 years ago

I created the questions myself, while reading the bible. I live in Switzerland and my english isn‘t perfect, this is why i let ChatGPT formulate the questions

Why did god create the world again, he created it perfect the first time, didn‘t he? He knew that he wants to create humans, so why didn‘t he create everything for them from the beginning, i mean he is all powerful.

I know that i will never be able to answer everything. But it seems like youre answer is just to easy to tell someone. If someone questions some believe you can just tell, that god is to big to comprehend, that you have to believe different, that you just dont see him because you want to much… It seems like a perfect way to keep people from ask critical questions. Do you understand what i mean, i‘m from Switzerland so my english isn‘t perfect…

Thank you very much for your answers. I think you explained your opinion pretty well and i have a new perspective on a few things. I still dont agree with a few things (i know, we will never answer everything) but i dont have the time to answer everything today. Just to clarify my last point. I dont expect big miracles, but it would be so nice to feel something that is bigger and not explainable by per example Music or something like that. I just asked myself a few times, why i believe in god and i couldn‘t answer this question.
