How do you consistently believe in God?
Sometimes I simply know he exists, I feel his warmth deep within my soul.
Sometimes the entire idea seems ludicrous to me.
I wish he would give me a clear sign, but I know it is too much to ask and it wouldn't be true faith.

>Indeed, there is no topic on which not merely the unlearned but even educated people disagree so much, and since their beliefs range so widely and are so much at odds with each other, two possibilities exist: it may be that none of them is true, or at any rate no more than one of them can be.
Cicero, On the Nature of the Gods

After many years in the same quagmire as you OP, tormenting myself, I eventually suspended my belief.

Being gay for God is the only acceptable gay, that's why being gay for men is a sin, it's cheating on God. Lesbianism likewise is cheating on Mary and the Holy Spirit.

Feeling happy and feeling the presence of god are two different things.
I actually tend to feel the presence of god when I am unhappy

The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven. He (Jesus) replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away.

Do you do your Stoßgebete anon? Our God is a jealous God and its not enough to sit down once a week for your relationship with him. Praise him constantly and ask for his blessings and for him to keep you on the path constantly.

Also I do the sign of the cross constantly, like an old Russian woman. For example whenever I see coombait out in the world or online. He immediately sends me strength and my nofap streak is unbroken since I started doing this.

You don’t “choose” to believe in anything. Your brain is presented with new data and compares it to existing data using logic. That’s why it’s so easy to convince kids that God is real, because they don’t have any existing data.

You have placed your faith in materialism, I in the Lord. Truth is subjective.
