    Does anyone else experience anxiety over climate change?

    Doesn't sound like there's much hope in solving it, assuming it does exist (which might be dumb, because I'm ignoring the burden of proof, but whatever). Either way, though, I should probably just enjoy my life, embrace mortality, and accept that someday we'll go extinct whether it's real or...

    Does anyone else experience anxiety over climate change?

    I've gone anxiety over climate change for a few years now, on and off. Welp, it's come back, and I'd like to see if anyone else has the anxiety. Climate change is a very serious problem. I wholeheartedly think it exists, and it seems like practically all scientific evidence points towards its...

    I keep trying to believe in god, but I just can't anymore.

    Okay, I'm sorry, but there have been over 28,000 terrorist attacks from Muslims since 9/11. I don't want this to be true, but it is. It's not a peaceful faith at all. Also, the abrogation (or, lack thereof) doesn't matter much. It's the fact that hundreds of thousands have been killed in the...

    I keep trying to believe in god, but I just can't anymore.

    I've also started looking at http://www.reasonablefaith.org, and while a lot of what it says makes sense to me, I fear that scripture is still impossible for me to accept. For example, according to its page on God's existence, it makes sense for God to exist for the following five reasons: 1...

    I keep trying to believe in god, but I just can't anymore.

    I deconverted from Catholicism because I stopped believing in the supernatural, realized that the Bible was fallible, and discovered that I was an LGBT person. However, since my deconversion, I've had lots of internal conflict over religion. It has significantly decreased lately, but it's still...

    Would the Baha'i faith be good for me?

    I want something that's structured, yet lets me be who I am instead of repressing me. I also want a faith that welcomes me to question and encourages free thinking. I feel as if UU fits that more than the majority of other faiths.

    Would the Baha'i faith be good for me?

    I don't really know what could be defined as truth in the case of religion... There are thousands of them, and it's unlikely that any are 100% truthful. I guess I just want something that can complete me. Without feeling like I have something to follow, I feel somewhat incomplete.

    Would the Baha'i faith be good for me?

    I had a bad experience with Christianity but still believe in it to an extent. I by no means take the Bible literally and consider it as rules for a different time. The same applies to Islam. I'm not entirely sure whether or not I believe in a god or an afterlife, but if there is an afterlife, I...

    I feel trapped between Christianity, Islam, and Atheism.

    Well, at least it's a religion-based forum. :P

    I feel trapped between Christianity, Islam, and Atheism.

    Here's an update post, I suppose. I'm sorry if I seem at all bigoted, but here's what I have to say. I'm still kind of unsure what to think, and I'm still scared of the Abrahamic Hell. I feel strongly attracted to Islam at the moment; however, I cannot stop associating Islam with the atrocities...

    I feel trapped between Christianity, Islam, and Atheism.

    I still don't know exactly what to believe... But I do know that I'm not going to take this kind of bull**** for a legitimate answer. I am not only depressed. I have anxiety, OCD, and Asperger's with it. That isn't my damn fault. I don't care what you have to say in response to that. If there is...

    What about the OT, where God kills most of humanity and condones things like stoning and slavery?

    I feel trapped between Christianity, Islam, and Atheism.

    But the problem is, both of these religions call for violence against those not exactly like them, and threatens them with eternal punishment. I don't see how their God can be loving...

    I feel trapped between Christianity, Islam, and Atheism.

    At this point, I don't know what the hell I am. I'm as much an Atheist as I am a Christian right now.

    I feel trapped between Christianity, Islam, and Atheism.

    I have a therapist, and he's very helpful and makes me feel good, but there's very little that can be done about my panicking. I'm not sure how much even he could help me...

    I feel trapped between Christianity, Islam, and Atheism.

    I guess this forum could be called a blessing. But, I'm just in a major panic right now... I can't stop thinking about ISIS. I feel like they're going to harm me or my loved ones, or that they're right about God, etc. I feel so absolutely afraid and broken. How can I help myself at all?

    He doesn't seem to care, else he'd have helped me when I prayed for deliverance.

    I feel trapped between Christianity, Islam, and Atheism.

    Plenty of things. Acting, being with friends, succeeding, playing video games, and community service are just a few examples of this. However, when I start to panic internally, which happens quite frequently, nothing can pacify me. Nothing can make me happy. I feel like I want to brutalize...
