    Trigger Warning A Lot of Trauma

    Two years ago a lot happened. My boyfriend at the time emotionally abused me and used me and most likely cheated on me (high suspicions, no physical proof). Same year, I was in a car accident, and almost watched my roommate’s dog die (she’s alive and well, which I’m so so so happy about). That...

    Separation of the Church from Government: Good or Bad?

    Maybe not necessarily an intention to debate but I like seeing what people think and maybe gain new perspectives. I personally feel like because we have such a diverse nation making the US strictly a Christian country would create more tension between people. We have denominations that can get...

    My Biggest Struggle

    So I came here to talk 2 years ago and I just sort of fell off. But I'm back to ask more questions.

I miss feeling confident and strong enough...

    Christianity Question and Progress Update

    Has anyone else heard this as a Christian? You can't be romantically involved with someone of a different ethnicity because it's against the Bible? Why is this a thing, and how is it Christian, when you should love all people? It shouldn't matter what skin color you are in my opinion. I don't...

    Regrowth Into Christianity

    I used to be a Christian, but I believe I was more ignorantly and blindly following because it's what my parents raised me to believe in. I want to believe in God by my own understanding and not being shoved into anything. I want to learn by my own questions and understanding. A little...

    My Intro

    Hello there, I'm Realizer. I used to be on another forum, but then I fell off my faith and now I'm looking to understand spirituality more. I want to understand things I don't think I understood before; as a kid, you really just go with whatever your parents tell you is right, and then you...
