Religion, Rambling, and other Crap

Skip to the bottom for questions if you don't feel like reading my ranttings.

I am worrying about something. I consider myself a christian. I don't go to church anymore, but also still pray every night before I sleep. I believe in God and believe in both a heaven and hell. I believe in Jesus, though I'm not sure in what. Is he God's prophet, God's

first pf all what started all this? i don't think going to see a preacher will help you because you already know what they're going to say. i think you have to decide what you believe for yourself. and you shouldn't be scared to doubt anything...especially religion. i struggle with what i believe all the time. i used to lean more towards christianity but now i'm not sure. i think being raised as christians when we get all grown up and in the real world it's hard for us to doubt what we were taught is right. it kind of feels like if you doubt what you've always been taught you're letting everyone down. point being just because you were raised a certain religion doesn't mean it's right for you. it's like being told the sky is pink every day for 20 something years and one day realizing it's blue. you know what i mean? when you start doubting things like religion and the afterlife and things like that it will freak you out. you have to question what you believe in order to figure it out. and if you never take time to seriously think

Thank you. The whole religous doubting comes along now and again, I usually just wait till it goes away for I forget about it. I agree with how you put it, it is hard to go against what you've believed your whole life, and what if you change your religion and you die and it turns out you were right the first time? I'd know what I like to believe, but I feel that I'm just making up stuff. I know L. Ron Hubbard did it, but it doesn't feel right to create a religion, even if I'm the only one planning on believing in it

i'm really glad jessi could help. she's super awesome when it comes to advice. my advice is not to ignore this stuff because it will only come back and every time it does it will be worse than the time before. so you should make some time and just think about it. and i don't know how i feel about the whole jessi childers and her psycho husband. i would like to stay with the person i marry for the rest of my life but if he beats me and shoots me i'm gone. i don't think "god" would want anyone to stay with someone that beats me and shit. i hope you figure all this out and if i can help let me know. i love you.

alright, what i have to say in response will be crazy long, so in lieu of posting in the form of a comment to your post, it'll be in the form of an actual post in my journal.
