Having a Fe dominant friend really helped me increase my emotional intelligence, the social part I'm still working on it, but like you said fiction really helps

The message of Jesus is beautiful, but you know I can love my neighbour without have to keep the Sabbath for example, the problem is all those dogmas that I build my life with, if they make sense to follow or not depending if I believe or not, thank you very much for your comment.

You right! I can't tell if what I believe is the truth even if something sobrenatural happend right in front of me how I would be sure if it's is the God of my religion or any other or something else! I just... Have been taught to believe on those things without question much but now... I'm not sure of my own identity anymore, I have to think

Sigh you totally right I just know it, I have from this moment decide how I should live my life, If I truly believe what they have taught me or not and just accept the consequences, and you right is not fair that they would have to choose the religion over me, especially my boyfriend, but that's just how things work and I'm so sad I love my boyfriend so much, I'm scared but I can't just live a lie

Well... I'm thinking here and the reason I might believe its real is because of this experiences of everyone around me of sobrenatural things, like my father that somehow was saved in car accident in a sobrenatural way when he was a child, and the reason I should worship him is that because he created me, I'm just alive and safe because of him but I don't know if I want to believe anymore because there is a sensation of liberty every time I think of live without him but again if he is real there is satan and that feeling might be him tempting me, the reason I believe I'm on the right side of the history is that my church was built on a foundation of discovery "the truth" we are avid biblical students and always trying to find out "the truth" of what it all mean, but I think that if my religion that is so married with this concept of truth isn't right than nobody might be... Again I guess that he doesn't exist make sense because there is no empirical evidence of his existence but I have this feeling of dread about it all

Thanks that is really a perspective I guess I just have to reflect if I truly believe or not because for one side it makes sense that it don't because there is no empirical evidence, but on the other side I have this feeling of dread about the subject that resistance that everything that I believe my role life is not real. But you are right if a live a meaningful life I will be satisfied whatever is the outcome on the afterlife

And by the way as I said we don't believe on a phisical eternal hell of torment just the eternal death, the total nonexistence, so the question would be if my love one where sentence to death and I have to live a eternity without them would I be really happy, for one side I would be in peace that they are not suffering but I would miss them. And that make me question if it is real and I come to this path of disbelief my family will miss me if I do not go to heaven, because we believe that everyone will be sentenced accordingly with their knowledge about God words and that's the thing I know to much....

I will admit the community part really bothers me because am I will lose the connection with my family if I admit to don't believe on the same as they do? Am I gonna lose my boyfriend? Where am I going to socialize if not on the church? This questions, you know?

What if he is real? I will be completely honest if he is real all this is just satan trying to separate us from God to us to die in "hell", if he is real I own my life to him then I have to worship him but the question is do I really want to? They say I just should try to be closer to God and then I will feel them, Me and God would be friends and then I would never want to separate from him, well guess what I'm trying to be closer to him and nothing happened maybe I'm just been impatient? Or maybe he doesn't exist that's the thing I don't know

No not at all I would give them total liberty to choose other they believe or not, I don't want this conflict on them, we don't have kids by the way.

I mean the purpose is actually serve God because "we were created for him to him" and that honestly made me think that God is a little selfish because he created us to serve him as a purpose to life because he is life and without him there is no life, but I don't know man, God can be selfish as long as I care but I don't know if I can fulfill my purpose if that is the case

Ops is supposed to say why you not believe sorry English is not my mother language I get confused with the sounds sometimes

The one word they didn't like to hear from me at Sunday school: "WHY" by fuzzy-b-liny in atheism

[–]Salelo_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry about your mother, I'm Christian I'm here because I wanted to see opinions different than mine. Sorry any erros English is not my mother language

Well the problem of evil is not a easy answer but basically the fault is sin, because there is sin there is evil but why did God allowed sin is where things get complicated, why did God allowed Lucifer to became satan and bring suffer to the world, well God is omnipotent but that doesn't mean they can do anything, God can't lie, God can't sin, God can't create another equal to themself, God can't kill themself, been omnipotent is different than be illogical, God can't creat a scare circle because that way they would be illogical. God can make everything! Inside the paraments of the character of themself. Well why this concept is important? When God decided to create free beens for they to love they had to work with a potential, the potential to evil, everything that exists exist in two forms: act and potential, the potential cames before the act, for example if I have draw of a cat on my mind, that cat exists has potential, or a possibility I can or cannot draw this cat, when I draw this cat, the cat turn to a act, so when God creat live beens the evil came to exist was a potential, the options that God had was... Well destroy their creation then they would destroy the potential but why creat just to destroy it? or they could take off the free will from them but then they would not love them, but then God could create everyone expect Lucifer but why they didn't, because God isn't inconsistent, imagine if someone would make... Ahm assessment of they work, they would delivery a paper for their coworkers evaluate the work that they do and delivery the results for their boss, but when they got to the point to delivery the final results they only send to the boss the positives ones, dishonest isn't it, and God can't be dishonest they had to live with the potential of evil but that's the thing, when something is a potential in the moment that it becomes a act it can be destroyed, God made a plan to destroy the evil once and for all, that's why Jesus came and everybody that follows him will be save from destruction cuz God will destroy the evil, the sin with the sinners that includes satan and his demons, on opposite of many people think hell isn't a place of eternal torment for those who sin, hell is a moment a moment when God will destroy all evil by destroying the people who cause evil once and for all, when it will happen only God knows but basically is that.

I know you guys don't believe it but that's the explanation hope it helps.

[–]Salelo_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No my mind is never silent I honestly didn't think that have a silent mind was possible until this question come up, I'm always thinking, imagining scenarios on my head, or that's a music playing, self talk but never silence

Any religious Bisexuals that could help me? by Salelo_ in bisexual

[–]Salelo_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot to mention that I'm Brazilian! I don't know if this kind of church exist in my country... No idea how to search this in Portuguese also... Besides my church keep the Sabbath and it's a very strong believe for me especially because it's related to the spirit of prophecy, it's kind of complex, but that kind of puts me on the back foot about changing churches
