anybody like christian hymns? I know a lot of bad things happen in the name of christianity, but I still try to have faith even though I’ve lapsed in times of poverty and wretchedness.
It’s really hard to keep faith when you can’t afford dinner, nevertheless the music they play in soup kitchens is really good.
I’m not really religious but there was a very bad time where I would repeat the our father prayer over and over again to block out the voices and other thoughts. I think it kind of worked but I stopped doing it after I got thru that really rough patch.
yea that would have been a good one to know, all I know about religion comes from tv and internet – never felt at home in any churches, but I still believe in it.
They definetly are beautiful.
I had a tough struggle with religious based thinking when I was ill, and still working to get a better center on it.
I guess what I found about it all is, in madness, the strong and vile convictions lead me to reasoning of morality,
Whether that was from guilt or unknowing of the reason “why” I was experiencing such things.
When I started to develop religion based causes of life and my situation,
All it did was make a small mad world into a large one,
When the continuous line of thought in my head was nonsense, and I was just thinking bad about myself.
Just a psychomatc induced hell.
And in turn, my religious “cause(s)” of reality where delusions,
And I sunk in the deep threshold of "fighting the good fight, or “ideas” of being a good person.
These grandiose ideas are pretty damn strong glue.
For something that was simple nonsense to begin with.
““Guess my real answer was I couldn’t just hold myself together””
It’s great that you have found something that works for you, but religious topics are off limits on these forums. Too many people struggle with religious delusions, and these topics tend to trigger them. We have to keep this a safe space for everyone.
