Im catholic and believe in god and jesus but i heard that it was a greek myth and i am now having doubts about my religion will i go to hell for the doubts or will i save myself if i believe again?

Answer 1

The myth you refer to is, I believe, Dionysus, who descended into the Underworld to bring his mother Semele back to life. This isn't quite the same thing.

A lot of Christian tradition and mythology is the direct descendant of old Pagan holidays and traditions- Christmas, for example, began as the Norse Jul/Yule, All Souls' Day/Hallowe'en was Celtic Samhain, and the name Easter is derived from the Anglo-Saxon fertility goddess Eostre. This doesn't automatically make it evil, bad, or wrong; as a fellow Catholic with Pagan friends, I think it makes those traditions that much richer and stronger. Then again, a fair bit of Catholicism at least is directly derived from Jewish tradition- most of the blessings are only translations, first from Hebrew to Latin, and then to English or Spanish or whatever language.

Doubts are what make us human- it's only natural to question from time to time if that which we cannot see is really there. Doubts do not mean that you don't believe- they only mean you are human, capable of that most human of gifts, thought. All you need to remember is that God is so far and above humans that He surely knows our faults- he put them there, along with our gifts. I don't believe that a supreme being so vastly greater than we would damn someone just for their inherent nature.

Answer 2

It's natural to have doubts, and questioning your faith can actually strengthen it in the long run. Many religions, including Christianity, incorporate elements from various cultures and mythologies. God is compassionate and understanding, so it's unlikely that questioning your beliefs will condemn you to hell. Take the time to explore your doubts, speak with religious leaders or mentors, and continue your spiritual journey with an open heart and mind.
