do you think that religion has an adverse impact on your life? to be clear I am not telling you to stop being catholic. but I would not be happy with religion, and I was wondering if you are. And if you are not, whether you believe that living how you like now and suffering as a consequence would be worth the freedom
I would be dead if not for God. But I do think about that a lot, if it's worth it, if piousness never satiates desire, to live in the singular pursuit of salvation. My attachment & devotion to my religion is so scrupulous in that I am so careful with it all, yet vain still.. I lie& I drink to drunkenness & I am envious and lustful & last night I did a lot of cocaine and drove Just a little bit, but I cant look lustfully at a woman or masturbate. Biblically every mortal sin is of equal gravity Yet I dont behave accordingly. About 3 weeks ago I threw up a lot of blood & I thought I was dying & prayed that if I would be OK i would stop using & I didn't know it at the time but I lied.the next day I was laced and thought I would die again. The moment I realized what had happened the rosary around my neck snapped & fell to the ground. I think the best Outcome is if He is only disappointed
I am not a convert but in a practical sense I am. I was baptized but my parents aren't practicing. For my entire life really I was an atheist, and not only an a-theist but an anti-theist, aggresively& enthusiastically so. I thought it was so silly to believe in anything so specific without any evidence. I still do which Im ashamed of. But I got to a point where I needed what only faith can provide, and I took a little bit of what I deemed 2 B ignorance so I wouldn't be so hopeless.
I dont know. Even when I was atheistic I felt immense shame for my homosexual inclinations .without the. Threat of damnation I would be dead 2 suicide
