I've been reading the Bible and trying to pray my entire life. Look at my forum posts, does it look like I lack a Biblical education? Why does everyone assume it must be my failings that have led me here?! I've had honest intentions. I cannot help how I think or how I feel. I cannot help that God hasn't lifted one finger to help my prayers for freedom from sin and mental illness. My entire life has been accursed but oh it must be my fault. What have I done to deserve the hell that goes on within my mind?

Certainly not everyone feels it is your failings that have led you there. My sympathies for your struggles, and I have nothing but kind thoughts. (I believe that most here intend good for you and to be helpful, even if you find it otherwise).

If you need a sympathetic (but likely not very helpful) listening ear, my inbox is always open. Until then, as I have said, you remain in my prayers.

I posted this post as a courtesy to those I consider friends on this forum. Not to be attacked by people who neither know my struggle, or my thoughts.

I certainly still consider you a friend.

Marius, I know I can speak for many here, including myself, that we agree with what @dzheremi said here

I just want you to know that no matter what is going on with you, there are people here who do care about you and don't want to judge you, even if we're all sad at the turn you've taken lately in regard to your faith or your relationship to religion or whatever you'd call it.

You are always welcome here - and our prayers go with you.

Involuntary physical feelings and vile thoughts can be caused by demonic spirits and people using witchcraft, spells and sorcery against us as they work with the demonic spirits. It can even happen to us while we are in Church.

The story of Martyrs Saint Cyprian and Saint Justina makes this abundantly clear.

God Is Greater and He gives Us the victory, but we still have to be aware of what is happening.

"By The Sign Of The Cross All Magic Is Stopped, And All Witchcraft Brought To Nothing,"
• Athanasius of Alexandria (296-373 A.D.)
(On The Incarnation Of The Word - 31)

"But we by the mention of Christ crucified put all demons to flight, whom you fear as if they were gods. Where The Sign Of The Cross Is, Magic Is Weak And Witchcraft Has No Strength."
• Athanasius of Alexandria (296-373 A.D.)
(Life of St Anthony - par 78)
