So, the Bible says that in the end times, there’ll be a lot of signs. Since I haven’t read the Bible, I’ve googled the signs and a lot of them seemed to have already come to pass. Which SCARES me, because if God is real, I’ve spent most of life having doubts and I don’t want to suffer for all eternity for just existing.

Because I could tell myself that there is a possibility he doesn’t exist, but what if it turns out he does? I don’t want to be tortured for all eternity because I disagree with the sexist and overbearing rules he set up for humans.

I’m trying my best to ignore it and sometimes I can go periods of time without worrying about it, but other times when things are hard, it looms around me. I want to live until I’m good and old. I’m only 22. I don’t want to die because god decides it’s time for the world to stop existing.

My entire family is Christian. I grew up Christian and have long since questioned my beliefs. To me, it’s more believable for there to be multiple gods instead of just one and given that there are multiple inconsistencies in the Bible, I’m not sure what to believe.

That being said, a lot of Christians are pointing out signs to the end of the world and how they line up with recent events. They say the world will end in 2033 because that’s 2,000 years since Jesus rose from the dead (or something like that.) It makes me terrified because say they were right all along: I don’t want to burn in hell for all eternity simply because I have had doubts.

How do you guys cope with it all? It’s hard for me to simply ignore it. Believe me, I try. But it’s also impeding on my every day life
