Strange obsession

[Zoleee]

Hi everyone.

I have religious OCD and I have a strange obsession which is like "if there is something bad in a thing, then the whole thing is bad." For example I like playing little games on my smartphone, but I keep deleting all games and keep searching for new ones because I see a bad number/sign/etc in the games, and I am afraid I am sinning.

How can I overcome this?

There is no such thing as a bad number or sign. A number or a letter is nothing more than a symbol we use to convey thoughts. In and of themselves they are without meaning and powerless... it is us who give them power. Recently I was in a store and the amount came out to $6.66. The woman at the cash register wanted to add a penny and I told her no because the mark of the beast is not the value of a box of 4 AA batteries and a water. We make things bigger than they are... here is another example...

In the above picture what do you see? Evil? But what if you learned that the above is Michelangelo's Moses? It is... the horns are actually there to depict light shining on his face. Remember when he stands before God, comes down shining? Michelangelo wanted to capture that but on single color marble how can you? What he did was a pun... in Hebrew the word for light ray and horn (they are similarly shaped) is qaran... by putting horns on Moses he was depicting light rays. What seems evil is actually beautiful. We make innocuous things into much more than they are... and we need to simply walk away from that kind of thinking.

Or, you can listen to Bob Newhart? And I share this in love NOT trying to make fun of you in ANY way.
