Without Judgment, Does Anyone Deal With Extreme Guilt For Having Gone Against Their Personal Religious Beliefs?

I mean no judgment here, but it is a big part of my personal suffering and angst over being HIV+

Thanks Ron. It’s hard being a church-going God-believer and not be most condemning of my own failures.

Shud nevr hav any kind if impact nor shud anyone be judgmental in any faith. HIV exists alot more than people realize or care to admit. HIV is blamed most on the LGBTQI Community wen in all actuality HIV N AIDS became prominent in the 60s n 70s wen the belief was free bed and free love with anyone who wanted to hav sex n even large group sex n passing partners from one person to another. It's the ignorant and uninformed who place blame in the wrong circles. HIV originated in Africa n Nigeria n a few other over seas places snd brought to the US by people who went over seas n forced women n girls into sex n brought it back with them n spread it to other people here.So nobody shud evr feel ashamed or condemned no matter wat religion it is. I don't claim any religion bcuz people die trying to follow religious beliefs n some go as far as suicide to make it right again. My belief is thers One Creator referred to by many names in the different religious beliefs. We Are Created By Our Creator n Our Lives Are Mapped Out Before We Wer Created n Since the Creator Gave Us The Free Will Of Choice, Our Lives Take Different Turns According To The Choices We Make n We End Up With A Disease By Freely Havn Sex Or a Cheating Spouse. Be the You the Creator Made U To Be Always!!🤩

I ran hard and fast away from being raised a Jehovah's Witness, then I found a loving accepting church. I found out that God loves us all even when we don't do right. I now try daily to live a life of love for myself first and then others even the ones I don't like. Love Always Wins is the motto of the

Church I currently serve. Just my thoughts!

I don't feel guilt, although my upbringing very strictly religious. I believe I got the virus when I was raped. I feel anger and sorrow. I did nothing to deserve what happened to me, nor did I ask for it. But I will live and enjoy my life to the best of my ability.
