Well to kick things off, I'm 18, raised with the church all my life, and my belief of the lord and whatnot are basically nonexistent. My mom got onto me for starting to smoke and she later found out my Traps/Gay porn on my gallery and she kept going on and insult me in a really harsh way. I feel like i've let my family down, what should i do /adv/?
Stop smoking. Never start again.
you already realize that what you're doing is wrong, and you already realize that the guilt is not enough to stop you
you need to stop what you're doing for *yourself.* this guilt is not doing anything to help you. it's only making you feel worse, which will effect your whole situation even worse, leading you down an even darker path.
ditch Christianity entirely. it tells you to live for others *instead of* yourself

I've been trying to stop smoking but it's difficult. So far I've been 3 days clean
End your life you disgusting heretic!
Let hellfire burn the demons out of you and accept punishment for your crimes!

Thanks for this, I do plan on leaving the church but as long I'm living under my parents roof i have to do what they say and do.
Stop doing degenerate things and you will feel better about yourself.

this is unfortunate. the teeny tiny bit of Christian morality that was imparted on me seriously hurt me until I finally accepted it was bullshit.
there are some good aspects to it, just like any religion, but that's not enough to justify the destructive lies of any dogmatic religion
My girlfriends Muslim parents are like this. I have a feeling most really religious families are like this.
What are we going to do about it? not a clue, just move away.

Yes, i do thank the church for teaching me how to be a decent person and care for others. But now it feels just forced down my throat and the way people are just seemed fake to me, like they looked like they care but deep down i know they didn't.

I too am thinking of moving out once i graduate
Don't give up on the Lord.
Don't let what she said consume you, simply take it a day at a time. Change habits, a bit. If you can't quit smoking, research how others achieved it, easier said than done, as with all temptation.
Just don't kick yourself and try your best to quit your habits.

Thank you for the kind response, still not sure if i should have the lord enter my life. But either way, thank you.
