Well, you are on your own journey, so I can't tell you what to do or what to believe. I can tell you that at one time my faith was "unshakable" and I would give my life and die for my faith.
And now.... I am an atheist, and I am happier and saner than I have ever been in my life. ALL the delusions, hallucinations and psychotic symptoms I ever had in my whole life were directly related to my faith in imaginary spiritual beliefs.
Since I have finally let reason reign in my mind, and abandoned "faith", I have had zero delusions, zero mental conflicts with reality, and zero psychotic symptoms.
Obviously my case is unique, and everyone is different, but FOR ME, faith was extraordinarily destructive to my mental health.
Whatever path you end up on Cashart10, I wish you wellness and sanity. Whatever that looks like for you.
