I just tried my hardest to believe in God (evangelical Christianity in my case). I tried to make it work with what I know and my morals. Just in the moment I thought I worked it out, a new issue or paradox occured. It took me a long time to confidentiality and absolutely say: "You know what? All of this is bullshit." And finally a big knot inside me loosened. At this point I can't even remember why it was so hard, but it felt like you just had to believe in God, because that's traditionally the thing you do. And well, mum does so and she surely can't be wrong?
