God

[Leiden]

If there was a God who promised to help, who promised to give strength and peace, then where is he. If there was a God that said I will only give what you can withstand, what you can endure, then where is he. Why has he given waaaaaay much more than I can endure, survive. Where are the promises of God. Where are the promises of Mary. Why are they not helping. Why have they left me all alone to survive what I cannot survive. Always another issue to deal with, always worse, always suffering so bad. Is there anyone who believes in God in here? I can't survive this hell I'm living and no help is coming. Is God all a lie? Is he not real? Is Mary and the Saints not real? Anyone who thinks there might be a God, why does he leave all alone to bare the unbearable. I don't know what to believe anymore, what is right, what is the truth. All I know is if there was a God he would keep his promises, if there was a Mary, she would keep her promises, and I don't get any help. I seriously can't bare this anymore. I've begged for strength and help. No help ever come.

The Abrahamic god is a minor war god who sits on top of a hill in the Middle East and causes trouble.

He neither knows nor cares about your existence.

In short, we are not sure whether there is a conscious agent who created this mess, but we can absolutely certain if there's one, it would not be benevolent or loving.

As an ex-religious person myself, I hope you come to some sort of conclusion. For me it was that even if that god exists, I want nothing to do with him because he seems like a really narcissistic and toxic dude; but it is more likely that he just doesn't exist. If you need to vent more or want to have a logical discussion about this, my DMs are open.

I have concluded God doesn't exist. God is a belief of privilege. Those who truly suffer and need and divine help don't receive it. Any God who would allow this, well there just can't be a God if the suffering that some of us endure is allowed. No one that loves me would ever allow this, and to allow it to continue is evil. To make me have to use my own hand to stop it after the Life I lived, evil not the work of God.

god has never helped anyone because he\she doesn't care or doesn't exist

But does an afterlife reincarnation of some capacity, does that exist in spite of whether or not God does or doesn't? It looks like you've been a long time member here.

I'm sorry that God has not helped you in your life on Earth. I have felt the same way myself~ abandoned by God. :( His lack of help has only driven me away and possibly into sin~ :( It just feels awful~ :( Job felt abandoned by God, so I suppose we're just like him~ I wish you the best and will pray for you~ :)

Without God, how would an afterlife even be possible? It couldn't be.

There is no god , no afterlife , no reincarnation, no soul, no computer simulation (no god programmers) , no magic , no soul ,nothing supernatural, no ghosts , no saints, no devil.

I feel like there is, which terrifies me more, I feel like there is spiritual warfare over my life right now and its satanic. Or maybe the physical pain is driving me to delusional thinking.

My mum keeps believing in God, though her mother and sister died of cancer and I have a chronic painful illness. Somehow she has been spared and is blessed. The world makes no sense.

We're all just players on this stage.
