A church is not a museum for saints, but a hospital for sinners.......and if "church people" are judging you, THEY need God even more than you do.

Personally, I couldn't manage this illness without faith, and don't know how others do it. No, we don't have to be inside a church building to worship the Creator, and we don't need "religion" to be good people (although I've found it easier to stay in line since I've been going to Mass on a regular basis ). But seriously, I have to believe that we are given this disorder for a reason, and that this world isn't all there is......otherwise, what's the purpose of suffering? What's the point of enduring if there's nothing to be gained at the end of it?

But, that's just me. I don't judge anyone for not being a churchgoer or even a person of faith. I only know that I can't live without God.
