Do religious people form deeper friendships that make rejection hurt more?

[jennifer_bloom]

Ever since I became a Christian, I have always put the same amount of effort into my friendships that I do into my love interests, and when my best friend rejected me at the age of 27, it hurt 20 times more than any guy rejecting me. Getting rejected by friends has always hurt more than getting rejected by guys.

Because a guy loves your romantic traits while a friend loves your soul.

Well your problem is being religious to begin with. It's just a cult that's widely believed to be ok. Christians literally have a song about dancing on your own grave, sounding gleeful about it, a separate song about how your life here doesn't matter and you don't belong on esrth because once you die is when your real life begins, yet another song where they insist every struggle is just a test or blessing in disguise from "God". It's just a cult, a death obsessed cult that scares innocent children into obeying by teaching them from before they can form coherent thoughts that if they don't beg for forgiveness just for being born, they go to hell even if they're a perfect human in life, and if they do horrific stuff but beg for forgiveness before dying they go to the same place people who were perfect and begged for forgiveness for being born go. That's what religion is, a control tactic and a death obsessed cult in one. Leave religion behind and life gets better.
