I had a really bad thought about unbelief

[Job405]

First of all I want to say that I do really believe in God and I know He is real. I believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

That said I was in the kitchen thinking about some things and I had this thought which I don't even remember exactly what it was, but it went something like:

"Aliens are much more fantasy than God"

I don't know why I had that thought because I know God is real, he is not fantasy at all.

Do you think God will forgive me for this thought? It's really been weighing heavy on my heart today and I haven't felt the presence of the Holy Spirit since. I hope I haven't done anything unforgivable.

Well aliens ARE more fantasy than God. We know God is real but aliens are just the manifestation of demons or something like fantasy. I mean we do not have the power to communicate with aliens but we can with God. We do not see the effects of aliens but we see the effects of God. Fantasy is something imaginary or possible but not an everyday part of our reality and that is what aliens are, so far. No that is not a bad thought.

I'm noticing that you have a pattern of having an intrusive thought and then being worried that you really mean it and/or that God won't forgive you for it. OCD will do that to you (keep sending you new/different thoughts), but the way to respond is the same every time - ignore the thought, and keep moving forward with your life without allowing yourself to dwell on the thought by ruminating or doing other compulsions. It's hard to do, but it sends the message to your brain that you're not going to pay attention to the intrusive thoughts, and eventually it stops sending as many!
