I don't have any Christian friends. I have pagan ones. I'm a bad argumenter, but religion comes up often. I lose my temper and want to break shit. Is the best solution really just to withdraw entirely? I'd like to find more resources to support me and read but I can't read anything anymore without zoning out and I've lost a good portion of my mental faculties due to drinking, depression, and social isolation. I constantly feel like an idiot because of my Faith, though my faith is strong, and frankly it's starting to get to me. Nobody takes seriously what is the most important thing in the world to me. How deal?

Why not make new friends through church or volunteering? You can try by finding a local prayer room near you and attending.

Forgiveness is the antidote for anger.

I've never held a grudge or not forgiven anybody that I can think of - I'm angry at being incapable.

>>746800

But I love my friends.

You forgot to forgive yourself, lad.

I don't think that's very constructive advice, but I'll think about it.

You don't have to lose your current friends, perhaps God is using you to minister to them. It's important to keep in mind what Jesus said, be the Salt and Light of the world. God bless and make sure to read your Bible.

unfortunately, most people just won't ever listen. its probably best to ghost them.

I've been trying for 6 years but if anytihng they've gotten more pagan, probably just because no one takes me seriously in general.

>>746854

I know but then I really am alone with God in a shitty apartment.

I think the problem is that to people who've already decided against Christianity without truly understanding it, there's nothing I can offer them to make them reconsider on it. Since I'm the only Christian in the friend group and the others are either atheists or whatevers, I feel like I seem destabilized or something.

Your emotions are simply signals that your body is sending you. Anger is a signal that a rule you feel strongly about has been violated. At its core it is a good signal as it is mean to propel you to action. You should never feel dumb or idiotic for having convictions. Once you start to observe your emotions rather than blindly reacting to it you can take tangible action.

As I see it. As long as you cannot properly defend your faith then you will always become angry. Read and study more and become more comfortable in your understanding of Faith and God, then when you are in a situation that makes you angry you can react in a smarter way than simply feeling like breaking something.

Not a complete solution, but hey we gotta start somewhere right?

being alone with God is not the worst thing in the world, anon. i haven't had social interaction outside of work or direct family in a year now. it hurts at first, but you do get used to it. i'm no saint by any means, obviously, but focusing on jesus really does help. when i stop focusing on jesus tho, i start getting depressed, which sucks. its good incentive tho is what i'm saying

Find a good Church that has groups for however old you are op. Remain constantly in prayer and be here.

There are many factors to why people would become pagans, don't blame yourself for it. Brush up on the books and study counter arguments. There is no shame in believing the enemy has a good point sometimes. In my experience, most modern pagans are people who only take Christianity at face value and are too focused on the material to grasp the more important spiritual concepts.

I think this is why they say dont cast your pearls before swine. If your friends do not share your religion and you try to convert them you will become frustrated by your failure and they will become frustrated by your insistance.

Don't keep your light under a basket but don't shove it in peoples faces either.
