I believe in God which helps me, as it gives me a lot of hope that there is a much better life awaiting me after this life ends.
I don't think much of the church, (though I know that there are some which are supportive and caring). Churches can be lonely places for people who are already lonely. Most of them stress that they are there for families/are family oriented, and for those like me without family, or for those with very dysfunctional families, it feels that we are overlooked. Also, a lot of churches are still unwelcoming to gay people and to mentally ill people, which makes me both angry and sad. Sometimes it seems that churches will put you on a prayer list when you are in a very vulnerable situation, but that they won't knock on your door to offer any help. I'm sorry if this sounds cynical, but from my own life and the lives of others, I know that this sort of thing happens frequently.
