I actually had a bad gut feeling about this religion

At 15, I thought I had been "born again". I felt "god's peace". I accepted Jesus as my lord and saviour. I was "on fire for God" and felt a spiritual high. I was convinced that I was on the right path. Sermons preaching about God's love and forgiveness, and praise and worship and salvation

But deep down, I had a gut feeling that this religion isn't right for me and seems problematic. With that zealous feeling, I also started to have a lot of doubts when it came to the Bible, God's plans, character, inconsistencies within the religion, etc. I saw how this religion isn't really to be trusted, too many inconsistencies, denominations, Bible versions and apocrypha books. But I shoved it down and said it's the devil that's making feel this way, God's ways are higher. I was very brainwashed already. So I continued, while shoving down doubts and forcing the zealous feeling back. In the end after 3 years, I couldn't anymore.

I regret following Christ and his religion, I should have followed my gut feeling. The religion damaged my self esteem, my view on my sexuality, my mental health, developed terrible scrupulously (had it before but got very bad). Made my Anxiety worse that it already was. I even developed physical health problems from anxiety.

I feel like I wasted so much precious time, I feel it has stunted my growth as a person. These years should have been spent to get to know myself as a person and grow instead. Christianity is one of my biggest regrets till date.

I have good sentence structures or multiple ideas/thoughts in my head, but my brain struggles to to translate that into words. It either comes out jumbled up and doesn't make sense, or doesn't at all. It leaves people confused or even offended because I say something and it sounds like I said something else. It got really bad since burnout, pared with terrible brain fog. 😭

Does anyone else relate?
