I think that I have never sinned.

I have sinned so many times that I won’t take communion. I feel that I don’t deserve it and that if I do I’m betraying God and stuff because I’m still not getting things right. I have so much inner shame, and the voices remind me all the time of how ugly I became inside to defend myself. Once, I was tired of the voices hitting me and not leaving me alone. So I made a special glove covered in fish hooks and started hitting them and they ran away. Yet I know that those thoughts are wrong, and I’d never become violent in real life.
Nothing wrong on doing some soul searching. Just the being overcritical on ourselves is the hard part.
Did you know Cairo was called Memphis centuries ago, pharaos lived there-
no i don’t think i have tbh. not that i really believe in any deities. if they were to be a god then he has forsaken my children and that is unforgivable in my opinion. god has, if he exists allowed my children to be tortured so how can he be benevolent…and by a suposedly true believer who planned to murder his ex girlfriend. how can i possibly be a sinner compared with that? just because i don’t believe? would a benevolent god send a nice person to hell simply because they questioned his existence with all the wrong in this world? i don’t think so. no i am not a sinner…i just have no faith but i am a good person i think. i was a whacked out kid…precocious…maybe and naive but that’s about it i think. not deserving of this kind of treatment i don’t think. it’s time i took a stand and defended my kids as they couldn’t possibly have sinned either.
I’m not a religious person… but if we’re going for a Christian definition… I’m sure I’ve sinned…
I’ve not always honored my parents.
I’ve been greedy and gluttonous
I’ve coveted my neighbors wife… when ever I had a neighbor… and when ever he had a wife.
But I’ve never out right stole, or physically harmed. I’ve been working on being a better person

If you listen to the main religions and their man-made rules, Heaven will indeed be empty, while Hell will be bursting at the seams. My faith, Catholicism, even includes a place in between called Purgatory, where most, if not all ‘good’ people will go to be ‘purified’. This also involves burning.
Like the OP, I too have beat myself up over supposed ‘sins’. I have made myself quite ill about it at times and, like the OP, have missed communion over it. But these ‘sins’ are not against the common sense word of God, such as the Commandments. No, these sins are against man-made rules which appeared in medieval times. I have grown so sick of it all that I am on the verge of quitting. This Church wants people to ‘come back to God’, but it then imposes conditions on them and judges them. It is a joke really. It wants parishioners to encourage their lapsed friends and family to return, but it already condemns them by its own ridiculous rules. I am beginning to think that perhaps there is no need for church at all. It is divisive, like all religions, creeds and faiths ultimately are.
Best wishes,

I’ll pay for eternity for what I’ve done wrong I feel…
