Man, this post just makes me so sad. There is plenty to find comfort in without having to attribute it to a god. You had people - presumably close friends and family, or perhaps fellow church members - come to comfort and encourage you but instead of being thankful to them for their actions you’re thankful for god having sent them to you to relay a message. You’re depriving them of their agency and their love for you as a person, even if they believe in the same specific flavor of christianity as you. The majority who visit this sub have or know someone who has a stutter. We all have different ways of coping with it. We may seek medical, psychological, or indeed, even spiritual solutions, regardless if the latter has no proven history of helping “heal,” as you put it. But this post, regardless of your intentions, eschews the multitudes that life offers. It informs every reader that through religion (note: specifically christianity), they can reach the same kind of comfort you feel you’ve achieved. This is possibly why some feel uncomfortable reading it. I mostly just feel sad at the state of a society who has forced someone to have to struggle in this way for so long. Consider lightening your tone and outlook, as you will put off those who may be able to offer genuine assistance with your stutter. I apologize for the long comment, but this post was particularly unnerving to me as someone who was - and grew up around many - traumatized by religion, specifically christianity, and would constantly hear the same rhetoric you espouse. I’m glad you’ve found comfort, but I wish it had come to you earlier, and in a way that is not so reliant on blind dogmatism.
