    Spiritual Crisis?

    Thanks for the story. It sounds like it would be a mental survival mechanism, especially during combat. I can only imagine how traumatizing war would be.

    Spiritual Crisis?

    Removing human suffering, in my opinion, is the most important goal we should have as a collective. It's close to my heart, but the only way I'm aware of doing it is through sharing my story and pointing people in the right direction.

    Spiritual Crisis?

    Thank you for sharing and putting so much effort in your response. I think you helped me realize contemplation is the route for me to go. I love mulling things over and hearing different beliefs and theories. Thanks :)

    Spiritual Crisis?

    Interesting concept, but your point is invalid in most cases I saw. Because many of them were atheists and still saw hell and demons. Beliefs don't really matter, what exist, exists whether you believe in it or not. If demons exist it doesn't really matter what you believe, because they are...

    Spiritual Crisis?

    I believe living a life without harming anyone, or their property is a good deed. Probably more than most people do in fact. I just reject the compulsion that I have to go out and be a good samaritan, or else I'll be punished in the after life. I refuse to be bullied into philanthropy, and I was...

    Spiritual Crisis?

    That's the process I'm in buddhist. The fear of hell still dogs me relentlessly. And I've watched dozens of NDE videos on youtube, and their testimonies of Jesus taking them to hell and back. I can't dismiss every single video I've seen, it wouldn't be rational to think every one is a lie or...

    Spiritual Crisis?

    My topic isn't really for debate, but more for discussion. I couldn't find a forum for that so I'm posting here. My question is, has anyone has a very serious soul wrenching spiritual crisis go on for over 11 years? The kind that robs you of peace of mind, and drives you to the brink of...
