Thinking about walking away

This is my personal feelings and my personal experiences with Christianity and the church. Been thinking about walking away from Christianity, for quite some time. I still believe there is a God, and I’m still a spiritual person. I don’t go to church anymore, for reasons being that I don’t believe in being a part of something that does not accept me, or other people, even when they have “welcome all” signs up. I don’t want to be somewhere that is a constant reminder of when I was molested as a child. Church doesn’t and never have, given me that comfort, that I always wanted. I’ve been to churches where I was judged for being disabled. I’ve been to churches where I’ve experienced racism. I have searched and searched, and thought I found the perfect church, then a guy, kept bothering me and wouldn’t leave me alone, so I left and never looked back. I see church as just a building. A building that doesn’t want me there anyway. I don’t feel bad about walking away. In fact, it’s the opposite. Because I can freely have a personal and spiritual relationship with God, and be at peace with that. I can’t really say that I “dislike” Christianity, I just feel like it’s just not for me.

Christianity is not a building. It's a relationship with God. You should understand that people's spiritual growth does not happen in the same pace as everyone. It's no excuse for what they did to you. If you've decided to turn your back on God and go back to the darkness then it's up to you. Scripture after all does say that some will turn away from the faith before the rapture. I hope you reconsider because the rapture is so close now. Jesus could come any minute now you don't wanna be left behind.

@karysma I never said I was turning my back on God. I’m just considering walking away from Christianity.

@NaturalBeautyQueen like I said dear Christianity on it's own is a relationship with God. Saying you're turning away from Christianity is saying you're turning away from God. I guess what you're trying to say is that you'll stop going to church.

I'm not a part of any church myself haven't been for a while now. I've found a spirit filled church but the thing is my mom doesn't like me going to another church and since I live in her house I obeyed. Will do what I want when I move to my own place 😃
