Christian Logic

I’ve been having a pretty tough time in life lately, between a messy custody battle and divorce. Most of the people around me are devout Christians. I love them to death and I don’t hold their beliefs against them at all, i just don’t get from the Bible, what they do. And I have a different standard of what I would expect from a good God is that wants you to know he exists and is basing your eternity on believing he exists.

It makes it very difficult to talk to them about what I’m going through. A lot of the advice I get comes back to strengthening my relationship with God, and sometimes it feels like they’re implying that these things are happening because I’m not a Christian anymore, or that God is testing me to strengthen my faith or get me to come back to him.
I honestly don’t know what to do with that. If I were to turn to God right now, it would feel disingenuous because I don’t genuinely believe what they believe. Also, it’s just weird to imply or tell people that God is putting you through the worst of shit to get you to come back to him. Don’t you dare emotionally manipulate me, God 😆

Anyway, I’m not really looking for advice or responses. I honestly just needed somewhere to vent.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to read this. I genuinely hope you have a great day, and that no matter what else you take away from this, I hope you continue to take pride in showing kindness to the people you encounter in your life. I truly believe that every act of kindness, no matter how small, makes the world a little better. You may never know the impact a kind word, a little patience, or simply treating someone with compassion can have, but it matters.
