Are you positive? Sorry I'm pretty cautious about these things. i'm sure! it's been confirmed many times. they also don't argue God doesn't exist or anything, yknow? they believe as much as me.

well i don't think they worship him, none of us have a set religion, but they acknowledge he exists as all other gods/goddesses do

There is no God but the Lord. Isaish 45:5.
I would not trust them.

Christianity is monotheistic, so... I can't agree with that. You're totally free to express it -- but due to the nature of this chat, I believe we're at an impasse, lol.
Hey, @spottedstar3137!

I'm just curious. How can all gods exist if they contradict each other's existences? For example, the Egyptian god Ra is the creator of all things. The Christian God Yahweh is also the creator of all things. They are not the same entity. One or the other is correct, they cannot both be right. That is actually a really good point! I never thought of that hah

Pray for me: WARNING: this is because of kinda dark stuff. I'm losing my faith in God. I tell myself that he isn't real sometimes but there is something that just won't let me let go of him. I know that there is SOMETHING out there...but I'm losing my faith in God. I wanna believe, I really do, but lately I've lost the will to even live. I have no idea who I am anymore, and I know that God is real it's just...I'm really in a dark time in my life right now and I can't get this off of my mind. What's the point? Why are we living if we're either just gonna go to Heven or Hell anyway or possibly no reason at all? What's the point? Please pray for me everyone please. I'm pretty sure that God has stopped listening to me because of the way I've been acting and the amount of doubt and skepticism that I have. I'm slowly losing my mind. So please, I know that he's real but I feel as if he isn't. Why is this happening to me? Please pray for me...please.

I will definitely pray for you. I've had a short period like this before, probably not as bad but I know what it's like. Do you like music? Because I could recommend some songs that have helped me through hard times and they may help you.

mike @spottedstar3137 thank you so much. You guys made me feel a little more comfortable with what I'm going through knowing that there are Christians that have been through similar situations as me. I really hope that over time my faith gets restored because I love being a Christian and I wanna love and trust God until the day I die.

So please, I know that he's real but I feel as if he isn't. Why is this happening to me? Please pray for me...please. Will do. I actually went through a situation a few years ago which was somewhat similar to what you're experiencing now. I spent too much time on parts of the Internet that were largely comprised of cocky, "religions are stupid"-type atheists. I came to subconsciously believe that Christianity was an irrational and baseless worldview, and started more-or-less living in rebellion against God. Luckily, God slapped some sense into me. A few months later, I started reading up on the evidence for Christianity and came to realize that it is actually a very rational belief to hold, despite what /r/atheism-type communities tend to say. I dunno if the rationality of it is an issue for you, but if it is, I'd suggest reading the books "More Than a Carpenter" and "Cold-Case Christianity." Remember, God will never stop listening to you or loving you, and remember that human emotions are fickle things. Our relationship with God isn't based on how we feel, but rather on the promises He's made. You are His, and He will never let you go. Our salvation is not based on how we feel or what we do or whether or not we have doubts or skepticism; it rests entirely in His hands. There's nothing that we, nor anybody or anything else, can do to change that. (On a somewhat lighter note, I'd also recommend Colton Dixon's music for you. God really used it to help me during my time of doubt.) You want me to put your prayer request on the front page?

ok i know people like me are usually kicked out of these types of places but I mean I just saw dark dungeons and I was wondering as religious people yourselves, what your opinion on either the comic strip or the movie is? if you have seen it?
basically it's about the 'dangers' of roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons, the comic strip released in the 80's and the movie was released in like 2007 or smth
personally i thought it was stupid, but in turn i am kinda curious??? ah i feel really embarrassed asking this oops

Hold in there mate, loads of people have been where you are now but managed to get through it and re-discover God.
Also... "What's the point? Why are we living if we're either just gonna go to Heven or Hell anyway or possibly no reason at all?" A very simplistic answer, and I'm not sure it's what you're looking for, expecting, or want. But the simple truth is that we live so that we may come to know, to love, and to serve God.

I think it's the same as most Christian's views on Harry Potter-- i.e., it's fine as long as you don't take it too seriously. Just like any other work of fiction. Enjoy it because it's fun and interesting, but people should be careful not to get too wrapped up in it. Don't use it to hide from reality, or start treating it like its own form of reality. Of course you get the people with unhealthy obsessions with this sort of stuff and it becomes their life. So caution is of course needed, but as long as you treat it as just a game like it was meant to be, there's no harm in roleplaying.
