I wouldn’t have survived without my faith, AND I suffer delusions as a result of my faith.
[/quote]I feel the same.
I just point out to my self that my delusions even though they are religous can be caused by my schizophrenic condition.
I had a religious psycosis, and it was awfull. I landed in ateism, but am abit spiritual, but i’ll never be christian again.
For me the experience, made me doubut abrahamitic fates all together, simply because god did not do anything to remove the feeling of utter madness.
Responded, not sure if you’ll like it, though.

I underwent an exorcism when I was about 21…I and everyone around me believed I was demon possessed. It was an interesting experience, and I’ll leave it at that, but obviously it didn’t work. So I lived with the shame of carrying demons around with me. (I can sort of joke about it now) I know I have sz, but it’s still hard to sort through the details of beliefs. So, I tend to keep my faith as simple as possible now.
I believe in a way u r inhabited by beings, but I believe in the alien thing, check out my posts. MM
I have religious voice who says he is Jesus who tells me I am dead and going to hell. He wants me to listen to his commands and carry them out.
I try and tell myself they are hallucinations and to not listen as my dr says but often I have trouble dealing with the voices and the resultant delusions that I am going to hell.
I guess it is a trigger for me.
I am not interested in supporting this delusion you have in any way. I will not discuss this with you. Please talk to your doctor or therapist about this so you can be free from these unhealthy beliefs.

I read my bible and I say my prayers. that’s all I involve myself with being christian.
Enjoyed religion alot before sz, mainly 'cause i deep down in my heart knew that its all bs anyway. Since sz i cant even enjoy it anymore, as a cultural aspect for example, because these voices have totally messed up my view of reality. Went to churches throughout each sunday in december and on christmas. While it wasnt that awful i also didnt benefit from the services. No eucharist can help you get rid of these insane voices, sadly. During one sermon the voices turned the speech upside down and they said something about a “swinegod” which kind of stuck with me and i laughed at that, because its a good portrayal of what kind of god i learned to get acustomed to.
Do you think, i do call it a source energy,anything that feels a bad energy and makes you feel bad, Is not good to listen to Your not going to a horrid place, some times, we can brake our self down, sweetheart your not going to any bad place, x
i’ll let you know tomorrow after i go to church x
Hmm is it better I know or just fear it? I guess I will try to say god is a posability
I’ll help you clarify, years ago my voices got so bad they convinced me to kill myself, I took 100 aspirin and cut my wrists, did the hot water thing too, as I lay there, I went into a state where I went to heaven! angels sang, white everywhere, and God asked me if I wished to stay or go back, I couldn’t see him, he was above me in a way, in the light, basically he told me I was tricked ( they had convinced me my son was dead and I was saving his soul ) and I was sent back when he said picture yourself back in your body, and I did, after I got stitched up in the hospital, I was told my son wasn’t dead and I knew from then on never to believe them. I will never doubt in God, and often he sends me messages of hope to this day.MM
