I spent the day thinking about it and I am probably just going to do what I mentioned before and just abandon religion until/unless my life gets better. I can't be thankful to god or think he loves me (even if the Bible says otherwise!) when my life is so terrible. Maybe I will keep my account...

I am going to say one more time that I am not going to change myself to be straight, not that I could. My orientation doesn't need to keep being brought up. No matter what anyone says I am going to maintain that being in a relationship would make me closer to God and could lead to our tattered...

Sorry, it felt otherwise. It isn't so much my ways as much I have a hard time feeling like God actually loves me. Yes, I know what the Bible says about the issue but God has never actually seemed to meet me half way personally.

You don't have to get mean about it.

Something must have gone wrong somewhere if I had deep faith before a bunch of events stifled it.

For what it is worth I used to be a very devout Christian and did do good but even with all that my life still got worse.

For me these feelings don't come from unrepented sins, they come from the poor hand God has dealt me. Even if I were repented from my sins I would still feel like he hates me.

What can I do? I can't go to church, I can't find myself actually wanting to read the Bible and God ignores my prayers.

In an attempt to steer this conversation back on topic, it doesn't matter if being gay is a sin. As horrible as it sounds, I believe that God genuinely hates me and will likely send me to Hell no matter what I do. I can't even begin to think that God loves me and it wouldn't matter how holy I am...

That is a fair point but odds are even the best of Christians can die being unrepented of some kind of sin.

After this one I am not going to respond to any homophobic responses. I would not have even respondes to this one but I think I should make a statement before anyone else tries to make me think otherwise. I find it hard to believe people go to Hell jsut for being gay. If God allows people who...

Even though I want what I used to have with God back, I think I should try to accept that things are never going to go back to the way they were and that I will probably spend the rest of my life shifting between being at peace with God and angry at him. Is it mre realistic if I just try to...

I was expecting a response like this. I know what I am about to say might sound controversial and I know many people will probably ask "how?" but it would actually help me spiritually if I had a boyfriend. It would definitely help the healing process between me and God and it would be a sign God...

Unlikely, but like I said he would probably try to stop me. At worst I would probably get ranted about. Or at least, I hope that is the worst that would happen. It might be hard for me to find a church anyway. I didn't mention this because I wasn't sure if I would get hate because of this but I...

I wasn't getting smart with you when I said that I already read what you had said. I already said why I need an excuse on the second page of this thread. I am doing everything I can.

I saw your suggestions the first time you posted them. It has already been established that I can't just go to church, I am not really interested in the Bible at this point, and I consider prayer to almost be a complete waste of time since God apparently does not care about me.

For starters I wouldn't be as angry with God. I would go back to praying twice a day and reading the Bible as frequently as I used to. I can't even remember the last time I prayed and anymore I usually just skim through the Bible and read bits of it. I have tried that several times before but...

I will admit that I was feeling angry when I wrote this. Currently I am in one of those positive moods where I love God and cannot think of actually totally giving up my faith, or suspending it for that matter. I just don't know what to do. It helps when I think about how everything is temporary...

Jesus didn't make sin magically disappear from the world. "Taking the sin away" basically means that he enabled people to be freed from their sins.

The problem is I don't know how. I am considering suspending religion all together until/unless my life starts to get better.
