As for worrying about what will happen if you stop believing, just keep in mind that there really is no more evidence Christianity has more validity than ancient Greek pagan god belief.
Do you worry what Zeus will do? Will Athena ruin your love life or get you hooked up? Will Poseidon make your next boat trip a living hell?
Start with the fact that some critical bits of the Bible are known to just not have happened the way they are portrayed. At all. Not one bit.
Take the Exodus story. No evidence any of it happened and much contrary evidence. Or the Genesis creation account. Or the Flood. Or the so-called prophecies of Daniel.
All thoroughly and rigorously debunked and available for your review on the net.
So, start with the skeptical position and get those god believers to show you their gods are worthy of belief before accepting someone's line of malarkey.
No religion to date holds up under even minimal scrutiny.
Except Pastafarianism. That is the One True Religion! Why, I even had pasta last night and here I am writing about it! Coincidence? I think not.
Haha Pastafarianism sounds pretty cool to me, might convert to it.
Anyways, I just happened to realize that I was an atheist to all the other religions, even though I never really thought of it. I mean it is now that I see that I am having hard time in proving that the christian God is not real, simply because since child I have been told that he indeed is the one and only God. Funny how the human mind works, hehe. Quote:You get one life. Live it for yourself. And keep seeing those mental health professionals because as has been noted, we are not professionals and OCD can fuck you up.
Welcome. Don't worry about your English - you did fine. And feel free to ask questions.
Yeah I will focus on dealing with my OCD for now since it is not a thing I should underestimate, but I will also continue to read about Christianity and Religion in general, and hopefully one day I will manage to answer my question, be happy with the answer, and live a happy life.
