Bumping again. I know there's gotta be someone out there that wants to be heard.

I'm not a Christian (I'm a polytheist), so I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for here. Care to explain what you want to hear?

I don't quite know what you mean by struggle with faith but I have always believed in a higher power, a god in a sense but not of any mankind has written or spoken about. So this makes me agnostic I believe, I don't affiliate myself with any religion but I also believe atheism can sometimes be too narrow minded.

I don't like the religions that people follow, it has done humanity no good, it has driven wars, prejudices and morally questionable behaviour all for the sake of some scripture another man hundreds of years ago had written. I don't trust mankind, there are too many "bad" people out for power and monetary gain so it makes more sense to me that these people devised these religions to further their agendas.

Whatever the case may be I don't judge or discriminate based on peoples beliefs, and if nothing else I can appreciate the moral compass and sense of peace people might get when following certain religions.

im european, so it's the norm to not believe in god and it's like that for me.

On one hand I generally dislike religious people, because of their imaginary friend and whatthey do in his name.

On the other hand, i had a hard time finding worth in my life, because you start out at zero worth and when I finished high school, what have I done that might set me ahaid of 40% of the population with the same degree?
But I learned to feel good about myself and ways to release preasure. And I even found strength to find myself girlfriends

First, I'm not following a religion. I'm not a total atheist either, maybe there's something after life ? I don't know and I don't really care about it desu.
That being said, I'm ok with all religions and all :)

About my personal struggles, I honestly had a lot. When I was younger I had a pretty fucked up family, living (still living) in a ghetto. I also had close to 0 friend, and basically I've been struggling with a lot of emotional stuffs since I'm a kid. It fucked me a lot because even at this day I still have crippling depression, anxiety, almost 0 human contact, and a lot of insecurities. So I'd say my biggest struggles are struggles with emotional stuffs since I'm basically alone with all my inscurities/anxieties since I'm a kid.

Anyway, about "real" struggles (like you know, apart from emotional stuffs) I still had to go through my childhood being bullied, my dad who was beating us (mom & brothers/sisters) died when he was the only one bringing money, leaving us poor and broken with a very emotionaly unstable mom, almost had to sleep in the streets, sometimes had months without water (had to use water in bottle we'd buy) / electricity...

Now, as I said my emotional problems are still here, but I have an ok life (living in a student apartment, studiying with a little job).

Apologies for any english mistake, it's not my language. I don't really know if it was the kind of answers you were looking for but oh here it is

atheism causes moral relativism and in my opinion its a ideology followed by gays and socialists
