Help😩
Kind of a rant too but any advice/ support would be appreciated!! So I have a really good friend, (as in we have been best friends for 10 years) and she is SO strong in her faith as a christian I cannot even explain it. She has not always been like this, but within the last year or so, she has really been building her faith and is very passionate about it. I have tried and done all the things to try and believe or find the same comfort in Christianity, but it didn’t ever end up really being my thing for many reasons. (living in the bible belt, you get swooped into it some way or another) Anyways, I completely respect her, and I’m happy that she has found so much comfort in it. The big kicker is that one day when we were in the car together, she was bawling her eyes out because she was terrified that I wasn’t going to be in heaven with her. And since then she has done similar things like long phone calls, and voice memos all with her, bawling her eyes out. And I really feel for her because yeah, for someone who does find so much faith in that I get how sad that could be especially being her best friend. She knows that I’ve tried Christianity and it wasn’t for me but she just keeps insisting that I should keep trying or do this, or that, and…or…. I hate it for her because I know how much it hurts her and I don’t want to cause all of that hurt, but I really just don’t know what to do. Because there’s no way I can comfort her. She just cries and cries and she’s so sad and she’s so scared that I won’t be in heaven with her. I wish there was a way I could make her less sad, but I just don’t believe in it. I’ve ran out of things to tell her.
