Raven, Lets just say that you and these "Smart Atheist" are right and there is no God and we were not created. Explain to me how we got here, how the world came to exist.

Read 1Peter 1:3-5 pay particular attention to verse 4.

What you are doing is called "put out fleeses". Read Judges 6:38-40. It is a topic of debate as to if this is an acceptable thing to do or not. I personally think it's wrong in that it's like we're testing God, or showing a lack of faith. As a person with OCD, I know we make mountains out of...

Raven1, what could anyone tell you to make you feel better? There is going to have to be a time, now or 30 years from now, it's your call, when you look in the mirror and say "this is BS and I'm not doing it anymore". "I'm tired of letting this disorder ruin my life." Your like a drowning...

I mean no disrespect to hollyda or any other atheist/agnostic when i ask this question, as a matter of fact I believe hollyda is spot on with their advice concerning ocd. But Ravin, how did you come to the conclusion that atheist/agnostics are smarter than Christians?

Ask yourself this question: Are these things something, that after great thought, you would say to God's face and mean it? If not, don't worry about it. You can't control fleeting thoughts that go through your mind. It's called "being human". Good luck with the new job, and grow that garden if...

X2 what she said. I all boils down to this, there has to be a time when YOU say ENOUGH!! I'm not doing this anymore. It's up to you if that time is today or 30 years from now. I know it's not as easy as I make it sound, but it's true. Yes meds and therapy can help, ALOT, but in the end it has...

It's normal for even the most devout Christian to have those doubts in the back of their mind. But I don't think it's so much about doubting that God and heaven exist, as it is just an experience that we know very little about, the process and all. Even if your confident of your final...

Hi Apricot0194, It's a bad news/ good news situation. Bad news is this is probably not something that's just going away on it's on. Your probably not going to "work it out", or "wait it out", as you already know if your 5 or 6 years in already. It's not a spiritual thing and I personally...

Ravin, this is the best advise you've received on this thread so far. Your on here asking advise from people who have been in your shoes and recovered, and had their faith restored. People who have not experienced this first hand, although they mean well (even your pastor), can't relate to...

What kind of therapist are you seeing that you can't discuss God and religion? Is he from your school or something? It really won't matter, because your fears about God and religion are just symptoms. The problem he will be dealing with is the OCD. I'm glad your getting help, it is possible...

Congratulations healmyheartlord on becoming a Christian. It's by far the best decision you will ever make. But it's not always the easiest decision. Just let me say this about your friends and your relationship with them now. Having becoming a Christian, you have become a "witness" for...

gtp40 I know it has to hurt for your father to be treating you the way he is, and I'm not making excuses for him, but people who have never experienced this themselves just don't understand. People who don't understand are like that old joke where the man is telling his Dr. that "it hurts...

Jesusisgood, do you now or have you ever had OCD? I'm just curious, because by reading your post I don't think you've ever experienced what these guys are going through. Some of your comments are doing more harm than good. Listen guys, the devil is enjoying your suffering because it makes you...

Babegirl, there's only one unpardonable sin, rejecting Christ. If there's ever been a time that you ask Jesus to be your Savior, you've taken care of that.

There's really nothing to be forgiven. You can't be responsible for your thoughts and feelings when you have no control over them. It's a fact that God knows us better than we know ourselves, and he knows and understands our weaknesses. He knows where these thoughts and feelings are coming...

Good news for you Hermit7 and for us all. Read 1Peter 1: 3-5. Verse 4 states that we been given an inheritance that is incorruptible, and undefiled, and fadeth not away, reserved for us in heaven. So you see your not in any position to trade it or bargain it away. Our salvation is securely in...

Raven1, please give no thought to this whole 2012 Doomsday thing. The Bible clearly states in Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32, " But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the angels which are in heaven,neither the Son, but the Father". Even Jesus doesn't know the time, only God Himself.

If it's just common doubt or unbelief, don't worry about, stop thinking about it. What did you say? You can't stop? Your OBSESSED with it? Would you say that your COMPELLED to worry about it? Hhmmm... your obsessed with it and compelled to do it, what could it be?
