Bad things have been to me and my family, from health to mental issues, I really don't see the end to it. My faith in God is weak and this is just testing it even more and I feel my faith withering. I feel really unhappy, anxious and stressed all the time, I try to show gratitude, but it withers. I've been to therapy for years, I've went to psychologists as well as psychiatrists, yet still struggle terribly. What do I do?

Hi! I've been getting more into reading theological books as well as books of Saints and wish to hear any and all recommendations that you have, thank you! :)

Why don't some people, usually atheists (as far as I know), believe in free will? Why do Christians believe in free will? I often hear "We have the free will to make our own choices and create our own lives" but I'm sure it wouldn't be a philosophical debate if it was this easy, I'm just not educated enough on this subject and wish for someone to explain it to me. God bless :)

Who were the Church Fathers and who should I start reading first?

A video popped up on my for you page today where the person in the video stated that they could tell what kind of god a society that you would describe to them would create and stated that they were always correct in their guesses.

They are someone who studied theology, so a lot of people chimed in saying that studying theology makes you atheist. I don't agree with the last statement, but I'm not very educated on the "Guessing what kind of a god people would create based on the structure of the society" statement, so I wanted to hear your opinions.
