All I can think about is the coming days when believers even in America will be tortured, beaten and killed. I look at all of the Christians around the world who are going through this, and not only am I extremely scared, but I'm also angry at God that He would choose this for His children and want this to be the way we prove our worth to Him and how he wants the church to grow. And I'm scared. I'm afraid to go up to strangers and witness because they might beat me up. I'm afraid of losing my job for witnessing at work (which I don't do but feel pressured to do). I'm always paranoid. And I hate that God says it's an honor to go through this. It makes me wonder too, if God really does love humanity, why would He allow any of this? I've held all of this inside for so long and now I feel like I'm going to have a mental breakdown.

You're so close!
But, alas, I doubt you're anywhere near persecuted. If I randomly started irritating people at work with my ideas, I'd get into shit. You're not special. And certainly, don't think people would beat you up for witnessing. Just don't expect them to quite take to it.
"I feel like I'm going to have a mental breakdown."
Please document it. This will be hilarious.
So, either your god is a dick, or it does not exist. Tough choice. Makes for great entertainment value. Could we have a real-TV show about this. This is the first show I would watch in 10 years of TV abstinence.
"I'm afraid to go up to strangers and witness because they might beat me up."
Don't worry honey bunch. I won't beat you up, just tell you to fuck off.

That's right, think. Think about what you are told to recite, think about the holes in it. Think about the evidence against your position. Think, and you will be an atheist in no time.
You need to talk to Anna Diehl, who will explain to you that all that bad stuff is God's way of getting you to love him.
I wouldn't support strangers beating you up if you go up and witness to them, because they should just ignore you and walk away. You start witnessing at my job, no matter who's pressuring you, and I'll make sure you're fired -- you're supposed to be working.
"I'm afraid of losing my job for witnessing at work..."
Have you ever had to hear your boss say he needs to keep a close watch over you just because of your religious beliefs?
Going to?!?
(1) god isn't the one doing the killing and beating and burning and decapitations.
Uh oh, we have a doubter! I predict two responses from other Christians: Either suggestions to speak to a pastor or immerse himself in bible study for some remedial brainwashing, or outright hostility for daring to doubt the glory of God.
This poster sounds like they are going through the early stages of doubt, and it'd probably be best for this poster to stay away from the horde of fundies trying to usher him or her back into ignorance, trying the usual spiel about how their questions are arising from not having a true relationship with God etc. .
I suspect that there is a strong possibility that we may soon be getting submissions from posters replying to Godislove94 stating that he is being tempted by Satan, or possessed by demons.
You're already on the road to doubt. Follow it, & perhaps you can avoid that massive mental breakdown you're bound to have.
Perfect evidence that belief does not make one happy.
Oh, dear. I know this feeling well, my friend. Doubt can be a very painful experience, especially when your fellow "Christians" are trying to fault you for their own failings in comforting and reassuring you. Ask yourself some questions, if you would: who are you being pressured by to "witness" to strangers and coworkers? Do you even believe in what you're being pressured to witness? And what is it that you- not God, not your pastor, not that angry bigot down the street- want?
What do you want, Godislove? Do you believe your username anymore? Or are you looking for something else? Ask yourself these questions, even if you don't like the answer. Because the only one who can tell you what makes you happy is you.
Good luck.
-Okay, this might be terrible but I could barely refrain myself-
All I can think about is the coming days when memers even in America will be tortured, beaten and killed. I look at all of the Shrektafarians around the world who are going through this, and not only am I extremely scared, but I'm also angry at Shrek that He would choose this for His children and want this to be the way we prove our worth to Him and how he wants the swamp to grow. And I'm scared. I'm afraid to go up to strangers and witness because they might beat me up. I'm afraid of losing my job for witnessing at work (which I don't do but feel pressured to do). I'm always paranoid. And I hate that Shrek says it's an honor to go through this. It makes me wonder too, if Shrek really does love humanity, why would He allow any of this? I've held all of this inside for so long and now I feel like I'm going to have a mental breakdown.

Quite the SJW for fundies you are.
The fundies who post discriminatory comments about those different to them are the ones with real issues and the reason this world is so messed up. They should go look up the word compassion if they know what that is, and they should try showing some for 5 seconds.i promise it won't kill them.
Oh my gosh...I'm the original poster of this comment and while I'm not upset, it's quite a shock to see something from that long ago in a place like this. I wrote that post when I was in a Pentecostal church that turned out to be a cult and that basically brainwashed me for two years. I've since left and regained most of my sanity...thank goodness!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
