1) does ocd cause the doubt God might not exist or just make u super anxious about it
2) how would you know the difference |

if you fear doubt ...OCD will make you think about it. |

How can i know that's from ocd? a new pastor told me yesterday that honest, like intellectual doubt is fine. The i don't know so i don't care isn't. i do care but there is a part of me that doesn't want to believe i am not even sure why anymore and then i freak out because God may ne real and send me to hell.
i cannot know my not wanting to believe is because ocd or me
