I mean this in the nicest way but as someone who grew up Christian it is so mentally insane to me that people will put themselves into this rigid box of a situation and then complain “ahh man life is sooooo hard for me 😔😔”

Confessions 1d

As much as I follow Christ, I still struggle w lust heaaavy. It’s such a dilemma balancing the desire to have sex and abstaining

Anonymous 1d

I didn’t grow up Christian. The Lord found me at my weakest. My desire as a sinner doesn’t match His holiness. I submit my will to His cuz He alone is good

I’ve had the same repeat conversation with people who left the faith and it’s always the same “you grew up in a box, be free”

it’s almost like this is a universal epiphany 🤔🤔

Universal but people grow up in the church and stay in the church all the time. People are dying around the world just because they confess Jesus in Muslim or atheistic nations. What’s universal is a sinful world rejecting Jesus because they wanna be their own God

Yeah religious persecution happens to everyone that what happens when there is no religious consensus. Muslims are persecuted too and so are Hindus and Jews and everyone else. Christians do not get a monopoly on suffering because someone doesn’t believe in the same god as you. Also, I don’t want to be my own god, I want to be my own person. I want to know who I am and the goals I have for my future

The single most persecuted religion in the entire world is Christianity. That’s not a debate, it’s a fact. The point isn’t “other religions aren’t persecuted.” You said it was a universal epiphany that people who grow up Christian open their eyes and leave. But millions of Christians suffer for making the active choice to believe in Jesus to the point of death.

Christians being persecuted in some parts of the world doesn't address my point. People leaving Christianity after questioning it and people suffering for being Christian can both be true at the same time. Persecution isn't evidence that a religion is true, otherwise every persecuted religion would be true simultaneously.

Your point about people leaving is narrow minded because we get to live in the comfort of a first world country where we don’t see our need. We have provisions. We have shelter. We can do what we want to do. “Be your own person.” That’s a narrow minded and ignorant view to take because you have the comfort and privilege to be where you are

I dont disagree with you? But I don't think it's ignorant to say people should be free to examine their beliefs and decide for themselves. The fact that religion can provide comfort or meet real needs doesn't automatically make its claims true, just as questioning those claims doesn't mean someone is privileged or narrow-minded
