How strong is your faith?

Question

I'm a young Christian and I feel like around every corner someone has something to say about my religon (southern Baptist).  I got told that I was a brain washed retard and a homophobic bigot who was dammed to stay in the ground six feet under.  I feel like I'm sinking.

Answer

In what. ? I have very strong faith in karma energies and the universe.

Answer

Why would someone call you a homophobic bigot? Did you say something homophobic like "I'm fine with gay people, but [insert bigoted opinion on how their rights and opportunities should be different from yours]"? Anyways, in Controversy Corner you really do have to be prepared for very direct and sometimes rude disagreement. It's not for everyone, and that's ok.
   
Oh, and I'm not in it, but there is a Christian Ladies of Glow group on here.

Answer

I am a strong believer. In the Bible it specifically tells us that we will be persecuted for His name sake. Keep your head up and remember you serve a mighty God!

Answer

Really try and find your own path in whatever religion you feel most comfortable in. This way no matter what anyone tells you, it will never hurt  you. You should never have to prove to others what you believe is true.

Answer

Start by asking why you believe what you believe. Is it because it is all you know? Because someone told you?

I recommend reading:

The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel
Mere Christianity by C.S Lewis

Answer

I'm an atheist so I understand people making fun of your religious choices. I think everyone has their religious choices called into question at various times in their life. If your belief is strong, have confidence in your choice. If it is not, explore your options and make sure you have chosen the religion you most believe. It's okay to question your religion. If you end up staying with it, it will build your confidence in it because you chose it, it wasn't something you wee just born into.

Answer

Nobody can decide what you believe except you. You've got to believe in your God and believe in your self, and you can't rely on what other people say to validate you. You're strong, though. I whole heartedly believe that you can keep on believing 😌

Answer

I'm a Witch (non Wiccan) and I'd say my faith is strong. I've always believed in a higher power - I just didn't know where to place that faith for a while until I found The Craft.

Everyone is going to say shit about your religion no matter what religion you have. Just don't let it get to you - don't let what others think define your faith. In the end, it's your happiness that counts.
