Hey, I'm brand new to this forum, and I specifically signed up to talk about my recent religious experiences.
I was born into a Catholic family, but in about 4th grade, I told my parents I was done with doing "CCD" I stopped doing that, and in about middle school i was "agnostic" then that quickly progressed to being "atheist' It never made sense to me.
If there's fossil evidence of humans being on Earth for a few hundred thousand years, and creatures being on earth for well over a few hundred million years, just the story of jesus christ being only 2,000 years ago never made sense to me. There's many more reasons I doubt Christianity, and religion in general, but I wont get into that.
Last week, as I remember, I was laying in bed, doubting the existence of god. and I said to myself in my head "if there was a god, he'd show me a sign he's real, he would be able to prove his existence to me. If theres a god, do something drastic in my life, change something drastic." At the moment I was laying in bed with my cat and was thinking somewhat along the lines of "Hopefully my cat will be okay" or maybe "Take my cat or something prove it" then I backtracked and was like "wait just do anything but the cat, do something good in my life"
Days later..... Sprite, my beautiful siamese cat, who was 10 young years of age, and happier than hes ever been in his life..... Is gone.
My best friend, is gone.
I'm so god damn perplexed. Did a "god" actually hear me and to spite me my cat is lost? or stolen?
It's really puzzling me, and now I've been depressed since.
What would you do if you were in my shoes? I'm struggling to even get on with my life. I really really miss my cat, he was truly my bud.
Now I'm questioning my faith... Is there really a god? Could he have seriously spited me? Or is this just an unlucky turn of events?
