Hey Yall,
Many of Yall know that I lived w my aunt that has bipolar for 14 yrs and it has effected me greatly not only in my personality but as well as in my faith even more I had many notes that periods of times where I just wanted to kill my self in order to get away from this bipolar effect but I would never carry out what I said cause I knew if I did I would go to hell. So I got married now but I am recovering from all of those yrs where she abused me spiritually . She called me every bad word in the bible! And as time grew on I was continually fighting to keep my faith strength and not weaken but over the yrs of continually battling this and still ar but in a not head on way I've gotten soo weak and during that time of living w my bipolar aunt I actually started to believe those things she said to my face as well as what she did to me in the church I was in like go running and telling other ppl in the church my soo called problems which weren't anything but to her they were like extremely bad when it really wasn't anything at all! So here I am she made me believe and feel like I have failed and can't do anything right in christianity all together and now I feel like I don't fit in anymore. So my question is can u be a Christian Buddhist? I just feel like I NEED a fresh start in a new kinds alternative Christian religion .

I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner. I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings. But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
I was raised with a hefty dose of Southern Baptist guilt. But I began to see that God really is omnipresent. That is, He always exists everywhere & in everything. The observable universe is 46 billion light years in radius - and light travels 186,000 miles per second. There is no way His existence is as narrow as some believe, He is simply too massive for us to truly comprehend. ** He is anything you can conceive Him to be because He is more than can be conceived.**
Yes. Buddhism is not a religion. There is no dieity and in it's original form there is no afterlife either or more accurately it was regarded as irelevant.
So the two can co-exist. In it's original form Buddhism is just a set of statements which don't conflict with Christianity and Christianity doesn't conflict with it.
Rest assured religious and philosophical scholars agree you can be both.
But I suggest you try it yourself.
