Devoutly religious people of any faith, may I ask a serious question?

"Devoutly" being the operative word. Have you ever had a crisis of conscience in which you truly struggled to support your faith's stance on a particular matter. How did you handle that? And what did you decide in the end?

It was a crisis of conscience that led me to my faith. Without it, there would be nothing. Life would be meaningless, and I would be facing it alone, without God's help, and with no hope for the future.

If you are talking about doubts on a specific subject, they can always be resolved if people bother to do the research. If your faith is true, there will always be an answer to be found.

The one who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and blown about.​—Jas. 1:6.

From time to time, we might have difficulty understanding something in God’s Word. Or God may not answer our prayers the way that we had hoped for. This may give rise to doubts. If we ignore our doubts, they will weaken our faith and damage our relationship with God. (Jas. 1:7, 8) And they could even make us lose our hope for the future. The apostle Paul likened our hope for the future to an anchor. (Heb. 6:19) An anchor stabilizes a ship during a storm and stops it from drifting onto rocks. But an anchor is useful only if the chain that attaches it to the ship does not break. Just as rust weakens an anchor chain, so unresolved doubts weaken our faith. When tested by opposition, a person who has doubts could lose faith that God will fulfill his promises.

Not really, I stopped responding when they start going off topic, I saw a post of people thinking psychedelics connect you to aliens and I couldn't help myself and I told them they were demonic influences, I had over 60 people start hating on me and I only responded to the people that ask me a question or seemed somewhat curious about what I was talking about

I defend my lord and savior cause he defends me and he shed his blood for me, and when I text it's a zone where they aren't my words anymore and I know God is speaking through me

I was devoutly atheist for most of my youth. I met someone who helped me change my mind. Atheism demands willful ignorance, and i despise ignorance in all of its forms. At least the religious can lean on tradition and faith.

Not really. The Bible addresses and gives guidance for many/most/all situations that we face in life.
by the way, I’m not religious, but I do love/worship Jesus. There’s a huge difference.

You're confused, as "devout" people don't have crises - it's why they are devout.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Nope. I stick with what the Bible says and that's enough for me.

Yes I cared for my wife for 7 years. My faith was really tested and I yelled out God where are you. After I found God every day and hour
