i dont know why jsp decided to suspend me for 24 hours just for asking a serious question.

This is a very serious question so do not suspend me again please.

so for the past 5-10 years i have become less and less religious. I dont feel like religion makes sense to me anymore.

I was wondering what makes you guys religious? except being born in a religious family.

Hope and faith are sisters

Maybe JSP thinks you are a multi

My bet is that i would be locked by now then

i posses neither sadly

Did you ask this in Christian fellowship? That would be why you were suspended for a serious question...they have traditionally done that there.

And the reason for your diminishing faith could be varied and complicated.

I am not religious but I do have faith that there is a right and wrong, and that is primarily through western philosophy and elements of buddhism that we have westernized, such as principles of CBT and DBT.

Hopefully someone will address your question better, but i will state your question is welcome here.

if you possess neither i fear you may lack the base requirements for religious beliefs.

i dont know a single person who is religious that has neither faith or hope, and generally hope leads to faith, then back around in a circle they go.

maybe i did yes. thank you for your response maybe i have to look into buddhism.




makes sense. a series of events past 5-10 years really made me lose all hope and belief.

i find it odd because usually when people get through hard times they find belief and hope.

i lost my 2 best friends in a car accident, while they were house sitting for me, while i was on my honeymoon. then a week later another close friend died when his pacemaker failed while driving, and my grandpa died the next day.

i made it back, you might too.

i’m sorry to hear that buddy.

I feel like in a hole all the time
