I did a stupid thing during childhood.
My teacher organised a 1 week church visit when i was in my primary 3 or 5 (cant rem). Then the big sister in the church kept wantign non devoter to convert to Christian. Being very young n stupid, i dare not say no... so she actually made me pray with her asking God to accept me that i open my heart to fully accept being Christian. But in my heart that moment i was praying to Buddha for forgiveness cos i did not want to.
Did such clash lead to my hardship in life? I read somewhr that betrayer will be punished by GOH. I m always e unwanted being within my community.
What should i do?

Yes you will be punished. You know how?? By going to hell if you do not repent. That is the grace of god. No matter what you do in your life if you repent and devote your life to god he will always forgive you. God loves us each and everyone even if the guy right next to you has stabbed a man he loves us equally but God is sad when you do not follow his rules. So repent and devote, you will always be forgiven.

you have raised very interesting time honored FAQs. GOD, Punishment for evil,sin,bad,stupidity,betrayal,crime; intended deiliberate.and all such. you were a child age 10, innocent we hope.
Who is God, where is He, what is He,are simple yet complicated unanswered questions by the impotent incompetent human mind.
He made the Universe,why? then he made life. why?
Why this happiness, pleasure, sadness, tragedy.
So Gouthama escaped from the world and went into himself , searched for the Sidhdha,and got knowledge and became Budha. and formulated a plan which all his followers know.
Now if and when you go deep into all these before answering or questioning, you arrive at Thoreau's SIMPLIFY SIMPLIFY SIMPLIFY !!!
And Jesus just simplified approach to God.
But i nor the nuns have no authority to impose on tender minds.Now u are grown up and capable of reasoning for yourself.
You just prayed with her, but not converted then nor later. So then how will Budha get angry on you and punish you, that too for life???
Go to your temple and have long searching discussions with your preceptors.Even Budhism changed a lot from what HE said. So, as a psycho, read philo and religeon also. after 20 years you will understand yourself and your fellow man. Go slow, take it easy. you have suffered for 25 yrs i suppose. wait for the light. ur burden on your mind will be relieved.

Be assured that god does not exist. What ever you have experienced in life is due to your upbringing and belief system. There is no god to reward the good or punish the bad.
When you were a kid, you had the brains to be true to yourself. Use those brains now to get out of your rut and into a better life.
When you think about your future, start with the happy ending and work your way back to today.
IE: in 5 years I want to be here. That means in 4 years I have to be doing this. To be there I have to do this every month, week, day, hour, etc. You can do it! The power is in YOU! Go for it.

What should you do? Stop punishing yourself for being different. You should also talk to a therapist. What has happened to you is an example of everything that is wrong with Christianity. No one should be forced into a belief, and it is wrong to manipulate people's sense of guilt like that so they blame everything that's gone wrong on one stupid incident. Crap, everybody's done something they regret. It seems that if God exists, he didn't see fit to just create a perfect race and be done with it.

I don't think God would punish any child for doing something under duress. I think you have gotten yourself so wrapped up in your dilemma that you don't know how to act around the people of your community and they shy away from you for that reason. Can you go talk to your Buddhist Priest about your problems? Maybe he can help you through this problem.

I don't beleive God would punish a child for something that they cant control, i do though think it was sweet that you did at least pretend to be praying with your sister. So God bless even if you don't believe

because the god of the bible is a selfish and jealous god Joshua 24:19 And Joshua suggested unto the human beings, Ye won't be able to serve the LORD: for he's an holy God; he's a jealous God; he gained't forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

It was not a great thing you did but God will not punish you for it. Just tell Him you are sorry you did that,and then go on. He will forgive you if you just ask.
