What am I supposed to do

[Tear]

Idk if this is the best place to ask but I have been very like distraught I guess over religion. Like basically as long as I live in my dads house I will be that religion but the thing is I have a lot of issues with the church specifically its founding and how it runs. Theres a lot of nice people in it too but the problem is I dont really think its completely true. I pray about it and I think it isn't right but at the same time I don't want to upset my dad and I want to leave after I turn 18 so I don't face a bunch of like punishments or anything I guess. Idk what to do

Eyyyy I understand you man, my mom is very Christian but she criticises church ALOT and I really appreciate that about her, I like that she can believe in God and Jesus and still doesn't follow the church blindly.
I cant really believe in God rn but I'm always trying to find out everything that could change my mind, idk your dad but if he's understanding and kind you could try to talk to him, if you're scared of punishment you should rather wait till you're 18 tbh, don't get in trouble man

Yeah, Im still christian I just think theres too many cracks in the foundation. To make it worse the church even had this whole guilt tripping about if you try to leave it it’s like jumping out of a boat in the middle of the ocean just because the boat is slow and the guy looks gross

Yeah man I can really understand you, tho I can just encourage to not feel bad or guilty for that, that's just how most Christians are.
I really like Christians that are not just Christians because they fear hell, I think many of them are just Christian because they're scared and this is mostly the type of Christian you encounter there, don't feel bad for leaving church, tho it's really cool that you're still Christian I admire that alot I'm sure one day I get to be a Christian too I just can't believe in God rn no matter how hard I try

Hope you figure things out. It’s just weird for me because how am I supposed to reject something I grew up with my whole life

I get it, I'm a devout christian but i just don't fit into the church. it's hard

follow your heart

Der letzte Satz ist so real ich war vor paar Monaten/letztes Jahr irgendwann sehr gläubig, aber irgendwie auf einmal wurds immer weniger und jetzt kann ich gar nicht mehr in irgendeiner weise gläubig sein.

so true
i consider myself to be a pretty religious person but imo if u agree 100% with any religion u aren’t thinking about it enough

Ja man kann ich voll verstehen, ich will es auch wirklich.
Zu einem Teil denke ich wirklich das es vllt meinem Leben einen Sinn geben kann, auf der anderen Seite passieren so viele Sachen Grade und ich checke einfach nicht wie Gott mir das so antun kann ich verstehe vieles nicht aber Es wurde bei mir auch immer weniger

my brother just another me

an important thing to note is that the church does not accurately represent Christ, we are human and we cannot be like God no matter how hard we try. My parents are also insanely guilt trippy about church and it sucks because i just don't...fit in. I wish I did but I don't.

Focus on where you stand with God, not people who claim to be followers of God irl. These people's opinions compared with God's jst don't matter

true asf, like I'm an evolutionist but also a Christian so half of them automatically hate me

Jeder einzelne Satz, den du geschrieben hast kannst du auf mich übertragen. 1zu1 die gleiche Situation.

Yeah that’s true. I try to seperate the two and I don’t think there will ever be a flawless church because we’re all human
