I understand the importance the resurrection story holds in your particular religion.

Ok, you win. Jesus was resurrected. In your mind. If you believe what you say, good for you. Hold on to it.

@Sherlock if you read Bart Erhman, you wil realize that the names of the books of the gospels were given long after they were written. The authors weren't really apostles.

Josephus, the Jewish historian, records that Christ was crucified. We have the attestations of the Apostles that he was resurrected from the dead. If it was all a made-up story, you wouldn't have had a woman being the first one to report seeing the risen Lord. Nor would you have had the Apostles going to their tortuous deaths to spread a lie, or the chief persecutor of the Christians being converted on the road to Damascus. Immediately following the Crucifixion, the Apostles were in total disarray, demoralized and scared. Something would have had to happen to give them the faith and fortitude to carry on. The world was changed by the Resurrection of Christ. The world would be changed further if more people believed and took to heart the teachings of Christ.

Josephus wrote in the year 96 ce. Almost a hundred years after the fact. He was not even born in the time of Jesus. He did not witness the event. It is largely believed that those passages were altered by believers.
Why would it matter if it were a woman or a man? The author could have made up either.
The stories about the apostles dying martyr's deaths are made up. Many islamic martyrs also die for their faith. Should we believe them too for that reason? These followers are in other words fanatics.

Anxiety to the point of getting sick.

Here is a bit of advice that helped me: focus on one day at a time.
Also if it gets too much for you see a psychologist. Let him/her help you. If it is too bad and a real problem see your psychiatrist or doctor and let him prescribe something to ease your anxiety.
I have social anxiety and my doctor prescribed a ssri which helps a lot and he gave me ativan in case I cannot cope with temporary high anxiety. That literally changed my life.

Good luck!๐ŸŒž

Sorry you wish to place blame and hatred on a religion you clearly know nothing about.

What I gather is you were born homosexual. Then you met someone who pretended to be Christian and got into your head.

So now you have made it your job to protect others from the turmoil you endured.

Sorry to say but the vast majority of us are just fine. You on the otherhand?

Let us pray...

Don't jump to conclusions. I am not gay. But I do believe it is a natural occuring phenomenon in our species and some other species.
Believe me I know a lot about Christianity. I studied it for over 20 years.
