Well as most people have clearly pointed out in this guild, they have a choice in what relgion they choose, I...did not. I was born with a very tuff living situation at home, my mother is a very strong christian and my father, a strong atheist. The constant fight on wheater I should be relgious or not, still countinues today. This has caused me much emotional distress. Suprisely enough, this entire issue with my religion is only a mer speck of dirt in the garabe dump which is my life. I am like much of you, ive struggled with addiction, pain, and uncontrollable suffering. For so many years God has held me on top, but lately it seems like he's the thing holding me down. When I metion or even do the slightlest thing like talk about church in any way, shape, or form my dad yells and punishes me.
I would be more then happy to explain to you more about my current situation, but there is just too much to explain in this simple post. Please, I dont want to be alone anymore. I need some answers, please message me, Im begging you.
I reach out to you, like a bleeding hand.
thank you for reading, im sorry i couldnt be of more help with the amount of detail I provided.
I'm so sorry you have to go through this. My heart breaks hearing your story. I don't have an answer for you, but I can say that I don't want you to feel pressured to be a certain.
I am a christian so I can give you my view on it but I don't want you to feel like I'm trying to convince you a certain way. I believe that God is good and He is loving, He doesn't force anyone to believe in Him so if you're not sure right now that's ok. But here's why I think your dad yells at you.
It says in the Bible that if they hated Jesus (and they did) then they will hate you for being His child. It's like this you know how some people judge based on their parent's so if their parents are rude they automactially think you will be the same. You are God's child if they hated Him they will hate you.
Jesus said that people will hate you because of Him, part of that reason is because we have an enemy who hates God and he will try to keep you away from God and His love. By getting you to be hated and persecuted, suffering all kinds of trouble just because God loves you.
I don't believe that it's God holding you down, I think it's the enemy, in a way your dad is like the enemy except you have to honor him and respect him but he won't like what you're doing.
But all this to say is you're not alone, I love you and care for you as a sibling in Christ, Don't feel pressured to go one way or another. No matter which way you choose you will face opposition by someone. I'll be praying for you and I hope things get better. Keep us updated!
heart -Laurie
