    Exclamation Anxiety & Depression Blog

    Hello everyone! I am a survivor of a 10+ year battle with anxiety and depression, and have started writing a blog about my struggles and subsequent victories with all of it. It's really new, so there aren't a ton of posts out there yet, but I thought I would share a link to it here with hopes that it might help someone.

    Eternity in heaven or hell is a pretty big freaking deal, isn't it? I really think God needs to update his Terms of Service agreement. It's a little holey. I'm not quite sure where many of us stand, legally.

    Microsoft made me agree to a 138 page disclaimer before I could download Word. And that's nothing, right? That doesn't involve my soul. The bible is still a little iffy about what you need to do to get in to heaven. We're still not totally sure about what's ok and what's not. Gay marriage? Where we at with that? Sex before marriage? The bible says no, but plenty of Christians are.

    I kind of don't think God should be getting outdone by Bill Gates' lawyers, man.

    Even Apple upgrade their documentation every few months. I don't think I'll be able to take Christianity seriously Jeremy until we get a new, updated bible without the contradictions. Still, good luck with your blog.

    So I'm guessing you didn't like my blog? All of it is true, I'm not marketing anything and I certainly don't get money off people buying a book that I linked too off Amazon. My life was crippled by panic attacks, depression, anxiety...and yes, God delivered me from it. It was not easy, it was not some sort of magic that instantly put a smile on my face...again, it took 10 years. Also, I was a believer BEFORE my anxiety started...regardless, I wish you well in your struggles with anxiety (if you have them) and hope that others might benefit from the blog even though you didn't care for it.

    Honestly, I think it is great that faith helped you true a difficult time. I personally believe in God, but not in the church. My faith has not helped me unfortunately, I have to rely on my own strength to sort out my head

    I don't want to start a debate here on this, but if you want to message me with some specific questions I may be able to provide a clearer picture of the information and "contradictions". Either way, have a good day!

    It was more of a gentle nudge towards the guy upstairs. Curing people of panic attacks is awesome and all, but we kind of need a little more guidance down here. The old book ain't cutting man. We're having wars in Europe, if you haven't heard. Trying to gently get some change for everybody here. Apple, Amazon and Microsoft are nasty corps, but my do they create detailed documentation. Ain't no wiggle room in what they create. Heck, the whole Gaza issue would be gone overnight.

    It'd be nice if he stopped curing converted individuals from anxiety and gave us just a teeny bit of up-to-date literature. Guess that ain't how it works. Panic attacks must be more horrific to him than children murdered in his name. Hey... guess I'll get to ask him why one day.

    Thanks for the offer. I'd prefer to hear the answers come from his lips though.

    Take care.

    I'd like to recommend to you the fine work being done by the Reasonable Faith organization...it's an apologetics group that addresses common misconceptions and tackles questions like "If God exists, why is there evil in the world". I am guessing from what you wrote that this is one of the issues you have with the character of God, namely that you feel that He either doesn't exist or doesn't care based on what you see in the world around you. It's a very common objection to belief in God or the fact that He is loving, but fortunately there are GREAT answers to these questions available. Most people I know simply like objecting, but have spent very little time researching anything about it to get to the bottom of the issue. You seem like you want to know more though, so you really should check out this resource linked below. The bible actually paints a very clear picture of God and His character, and it's not what you might think it is...yes, it requires some work to understand because the texts were written in a VERY different culture and time, and because we western europeans think that any culture that isn't our own is horrific...but the answers are all there for anyone who will actually read it.

    If you Google Reasonable Faith it will come up - Dr. William Lane Craig is the founder. I would link to it but I can't due to too few forum posts.

    This resource tackles issues like the following:

    1. Can objective moral values exist without God?
    2. What are the philosophical/logical arguments for the existence of God
    3. How does the fine-tuning of our universe support the argument for God's existence?
    4. What about evolution - does it undermine the scriptures or belief in God?


    It's really good stuff and I think you'd find it fascinating, regardless of whether you agree or not. Either way, I hope you find what you're looking for!
