Was in church for 25 years ever since I was born. Went to bible classes, camps, sermons, all of it. Church activity? I would be there. I have never felt God’s protection. Prayed all my life. Not once did I ever “hear” anything. No response to my suffering. People at church hurt me. They used “God” to threaten me. He did nothing. The church even requested all of us to sign a petition to protest a government bill that would allow same-s** marriage lmao. Like a fool back then I signed it. But eventually I left Church. Haven’t gone back in 10 years. So when I hear people try to push me to “accept God” and say how he “blesses” people, I have only 2 words for you. F*** OFF.
