When my mother saw my Bible, she went crazy and told bad things: I feel so bad, worthless, and lonely. What should I do?

My mother saw my Bible today. She is a very religious Muslim. Of course she got very angry and started to swear at me. She kept saying everything. She grumbled as if I was a disappointment. I feel bad and lonely. There are no Christians around me, no church. I live with my family in Turkey and I am subjected to their words every day. What would you do to feel good in such a situation?

Ah man, I'm really sorry to hear your mom reacted so badly when she saw your Bible. That must have been super hurtful and made you feel so down. Having your own family turn on you like that over your religious beliefs is just messed up.

I can't imagine how lonely and worthless that must make you feel, especially since you don't have any other Christian support around you where you live. Being surrounded by people who constantly berate your faith has to be really tough.

But try not to let their negativity get you down too much, OK? Your beliefs are valid and important, even if your family doesn't understand or agree with them. Don't let them make you feel like you're a disappointment or that you're doing something wrong.

Maybe try reaching out to some online Christian communities or forums if you can. Even just having that virtual support system could really help you feel less alone. And don't be afraid to lean on your faith during this time - draw strength from your beliefs when your family is bringing you down.

I know it's not easy, but try to remember your worth isn't defined by what your mom or anyone else says. You are a child of God, and that makes you incredibly special and loved, no matter what. Hold onto that, and don't let their hurtful words tear you down.

If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you, girl. And maybe look into getting connected with a local church or ministry that can provide some in-person community and guidance. You deserve to feel supported and uplifted in your faith.

Sending you all the positive vibes and prayers. You got this!

This is hypocrisy

Isn't the whole point of the Bible to help you through tough situations such as this?
Or is it just there as a showpiece?

A person does not want his son to go astray and he is right.
