Abstract

In this chapter, we argue that it’s possible to lose your faith in God by the actions of other people. In particular, we argue that spiritually violent religious trauma, where religious texts are used to shame a person into thinking themselves unworthy of God’s love, can cause a person to stop engaging in activities that sustain their faith in God, such as engaging in the worship of God. To do this, we provide an analysis of faith, worship, and love on which to have faith in God is to have an attitude of worship to him; to have such an attitude of worship to God is to love him; and to love God is to desire union with him. We apply this analysis particularly to the case of LGBT Christians and their experience in the church today.

破碎的信念
在这一章中,我们要论证的是,你可能会因为别人的行为而失去对上帝的信仰。特别是,我们认为,精神上暴力的宗教创伤,即宗教文本被用来羞辱一个人,使他认为自己不配得到上帝的爱,会导致一个人停止从事维持他们对上帝信仰的活动,比如崇拜上帝。为了做到这一点,我们提供了一个对信仰、敬拜和爱的分析,在这个分析中,对上帝有信心就是对他有敬拜的态度;以这样的态度敬拜神,就是爱他;爱神就是愿与他联合。我们将这种分析特别应用于LGBT基督徒和他们今天在教会中的经历。
