Hello my lovelies.
I just wrote a response to an email from a struggling Christian and would be extremely thankful if you were to give your own thoughts on my blog.

My insights are pretty tentative, so I found it great to also give him other Christian opinions.
Lovely greetings in Christ.
I truly hate myself for insisting, but I am not doing this for me.
For the sake of the asker, I would be extremely thankful if some of you were to post your thoughts there on this difficult topic we have often discussed together on this forum.
It concerns Biblical atrocities.
Cheers.
Just posting to say I hear your request, and I am in the process of attempting to formulate a reply that might help from my perspective, though things are a bit difficult right now (mentally wise I’m not having a great day, or week for that matter, - see my introduction for details - as well as a few issues besides that), but I do hear this man’s plea and the difficulty he is facing. I will attempt to finish the post but I don’t think I’ll get it done now tonight, but I will endeavour to make sure there is one for what it is worth. Anyway I just wanted to post that I haven’t ignored the thread I will attempt some response to try and help.
To be honest lotharson, I’ve read over your response on the blog and don’t really feel like I could add anything. You said things better than I could.
Thank you for your answers!
NighRevan, having myself ADHD (tighted with anxiety and depression) I can sympathize with you and your problems.
Lovely greetings.
People need to just get rid of the Bible. There could still be a God even though the Bible is wrong. I will pray for this guy.
Thank you very much for your kind thoughts 
, I have posted (under Grant Turner) not sure it it will help at all, but for what it is worth it is there, such as it is.
The thought occurred to me that life is rather short. That seems a daft if true statement come to think of it. For many who would claim to have a simple faith the ramblings of many of us on a forum like this would perhaps seem a striving after wind. We could say that it is because our faith is not really simple that we are thus engaged. We could argue that tradition and it’s cousin fundamentalism are the results of a lazy approach to the difficulties we see in the Bible as in life around us, so it is not surprising that many opt for the easy answer. As a dear Pastor friend of mine once said to me one day “please stop messing with my head.” I am not sure about all the issues which you attempted to address for your friend Lotharson or that I would agree with the all the thoughts of others that you brought together but what are they but the thoughts of people groping for some answers to stitch together. Faith in the end is a gift of God and generally from my experience it is a gift which oscillates to some degree, nevertheless as Jesus said to His dear friend Thomas " you see and believe, more blessed are those who believe without seeing." So maybe the best advice for your friend is to suggest that like all of us he is on a journey and learn to trust in The Lord who guides, to pray for light, but above all to put one step in front of another in hope and smell the flowers on the way.
