anger with God

Posted by markwell on November 19, 2011, at 9:55:13

My greatest concern in life has been having a relationship with God. When this mental illness presented itself 2 years ago I've become terribbly angry with God. I feel like God is punishing me which exasperated my anger, I don't know what to do. Pursuing God was the one thing that helped me through a troubled life. Now I am so angry with God and I don't know how to break this terrible cycle.

Your anger is understandable.

It helps me to recognize that I can't possibly know the mind of God, and that His reasons for why I am ill will not be understood by me in my lifetime. It took me quite awhile to reach the point of acceptance. I doubt that there is anything I can say that will make that process easier for you. I think your pursuit of a gentle relationship with God is healthy.

Sigismund wrote something in one of his posts about his being able to compartmentalize thoughts and feelings. This strategy might help you to look at how much good there is in His Creation without your misery tainting your view.

Hang in there. Depression itself can separate you from your spirituality.

If you keep looking, I'm sure you'll find your way.

Sometimes I feel like my mental health issues are demon possession. How would I know that and what would I do about it? I like your idea of a gentle relationship with God.

I don't think a demon would pursue a relationship with God as you are. I am sure that you are not possessed.

Hi Mark.

It takes courage to disclose something that you feel ashamed of or embarrassed to tell.

> That's why I feel this is spiritual.

I don't understand what you mean. Could you elaborate?

I think we are using the word "spiritual" differently. I did not mean it to describe an evil entity that takes possession of souls. You are not possessed. It is not uncommon that one becomes angry with God for the affliction and pain you suffer. The voices in your head are most likely intrusive thoughts related to your illness. You are having a dialog with yourself, not with a demon.

It takes a lot of work to process the anger you feel towards God. I recommend that you speak to clergy or find books that deal with this issue. I was angry with God for quite a few years. Nothing has changed with my illness, but I am no longer angry with God. It is a difficult thing to work through, and it takes time. In the meantime, you shouldn't think that you are a bad person. God knows what has happened to you and forgives you for being angry with Him.

What, precisely, is the obstacle that is preventing you from understanding what I write?

> If you could post answers to the folllowing, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.

I am going to expect that you respond, then.

> A.What criteria do you use to claim that the member is not possessed?

Belief in God.

> B. How could you be sure, if you could, that the member here is having a dialog with himdelf and not a demon?

Belief in God.

> C. Why do you state to the member that they should not think that they are a bad person?

Law of probability.

> D. In [...God..forgives you..], which God are you referring to?

How many are there to choose from? I know of only One.

> E. What is requierd by that God, if anything, for one to have forgivness?

I can't think of a single thing.

Now, it's your turn.

markwell,
You wrote,[...demon possession...How would I know that..what would I do about it?...].
It has been revealed to me the answers to your questions. But there are prohibitions to me here from Mr. Hsiung that prohibit me from answering your questions.
From what I read here that you posted, you could IMHO die or get a life-ruining condition as a result of that I can not post here what IMHO could remedy your situaion and lead you out of the condition that you describe here.
I would like to help you and IMHO I may be the only person here that could understand your condition and tell you what to do to live a free and natural life and overcome the state of mind that you describe that you are in.
Here is a post that is one of the prohibitions to me here from Mr. Hsiung.

Hi Mark.

I disagree with Lou Pilder. He and I obviously have a difference of opinion as to what is the nature of your pain and confusion. I guess we all have our unique revelations.

I gained an almost visual insight into dualistic American spiritual thinking in the wonderful "The Crossing" by Cormac McCarthy.

Hi Mark.

> Scott, I guess I'm wondering if I should pursue medicine or is what I have a spiritual condition.

I can't offer very much feedback without knowing more about you. Perhaps you can spend some time putting together a list symptoms. What are the things that you think and feel that give you trouble? You can ask questions on the Medication board.

You are not the only person in the world who has battled with this issue. I understand why you feel that there are bad spirits inside you. Some illnesses make people feel as if they have very little control over their thoughts and feelings. Unfortunately, this is true. Biological illnesses of the brain/mind connection change the way people process information. They warp perceptions. They produce bad feelings, even when there is nothing bad happening. You are not alone. On Psycho-Babble, there are many people who experience these things. Medication and psychotherapy can help create order out of disorder.

Mark,
Here is a link that has a link in it that catalogs people that have killed themselves and/or others and other crimes even mass-murder while they were taking psychotropic drugs prescribed to them.
You see, those drugs can induce a mind-altered state for one to be compelled to want to kill themselves and/or others. Now in this community, it could be considered supportive , since Mr. Hsiung says that it is {OK} to post what could purport that the 1 1/2 million Jewish children murdered by those that claimed to be the master race can not have forgiveness or eternal life because being Jews they reject the claim that (redacted by respondent) Jesus.
There are outstanding requests and notifications from me to the administration here that go back days, weeks, months and years. And is not {no} answer {an} answer? And could you look at the admin board? If so, could you count how many members have posted in the threads to object to Mr Hsiung not posting an answer as if the statement in question is supportive or not, or to post as to if they consider the statement supportive or not?
You see, this site is claimed by Mr. Hsiung and his deputy and his past deputies to be for support and education. Are thestatements that are allowed to stand that I have posted about here supportive? Or are they the foundation of hatred toward the Jews? I am also prohibited from posting here the connection to psychiatry durring the years 1933 to 1945 and beyound in {operation paperclip}. But you could do your own search.
Here is a link to the site that catallogs the suicides and murders by people on psychotropic drugs given to them ususally by psychiatrists.

Suicide rates have decreased since Prozac became available in 1987.

http://www.suicide.org/suicide-statistics.html#death-rates

I don't think Lou Pilder can produce any science to prove that psychiatric drugs have caused more harm than good. He can only produce stories. Anybody can tell a story. You, too, are a story. You will travel down your own path separate from the few bad stories that exist. At this juncture, it is less important for you to know what is wrong than what is not wrong. What is not wrong is your spiritual goodness. You are a good person with good inside you, even if this goodness remains hidden from you by mental illness. Have faith in God and the goodness that he has endowed you with. I see your goodness and purity. Others do, too. You are not possessed by bad when you are obviously filled with so much good. It is time for you to look for other explanations.

I don't think there is very much more that you can accomplish on this Faith board right now. I think you should spend less time here and more time using resources that can help you discover how to make yourself feel better.

Are you declaring here that your belief system represents the one and only truth at the exclusion of all others?

I thought that this sort of thing was discouraged on the Faith board.
