Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
it is normal to question your faith. people do it all the time. but if you keep questioning it over and over maybe you dont really believe what you once belived. maybe its time to take a hard look at your opinions, the Bible, and your life in general. follow God, the Bible, and you heart.

if there is no God, where did we come from ?? Where did the monkeys that we supposedly evoluved from, where did they come from, and why are we not still evoluving ???

It's totally, totally okay to question yourself. Even when you are much older, you probably won't know where you are in life. It's okay to experiment with your religion. You can try out some Wicca stuff, Christian things, Buddhism, Judaism, etc. You can even take what you like from different religions and combine them into your own personal faith. You might find that you don't want to have a religion at all. Whatever you do is perfectly fine. Don't define yourself based on a religion...you are YOU, and no matter what you believe in you will ALWAYS be you. When it comes right down to it, that's all that really matters.

Faith is Beleiving and Knowing that God Will take your life in his hands and pull you out of anything that you are Struggling With. Faith is spreading the word about God and his Good Will, Faith Is putting God before Everything. Pray My Friend Pray about your faith and ask the Lord to give you more faith and to help you with your struggles and to keep you on your feet. If you need someone to talk to Ill Be here For you

That happened to me too. I questioned it for a while then i realized, "You know what? If you think about it, how can god be real?" so now I am an atheist and I honestly think that you are better off with NO religion because i mean, whats the point? Prayer never helped me. I prayed for my grandpa not to die and now he has been in the ground for almost 5 years now. My honest oppinion is being religious is a waste of your time. You can find better things to do. Hope I helped! -|-PRP-|-

Well, you should definently find out more about each religion you want to consider. If you come from achristian background and somewhat go along with that, you may want to Check out Scientology, Pagan, Agnostic, Atheist, or Druidry..these are somewhat close to Christianity in a way. Or you can go out on a limb and try anything other, or Metaphsics and view all religions at once. Here, on about.com there are basic breifs on every religion possible under the Religion/Spirituality tab :) If you need more just ask!

"Religion is like a glass of water, as you get older, the glass grows and the same amount of liquid doesn't fill it anymore"
-Kevin Smith (which he may have taken that from somehwhere, but he is the one who exposed me to it originally)
Don't let people tell you what religion to join, there are plenty of options and they are all based on what you believe. I suggest studying different kinds of religions. If you have a lot of varying churches in your town (you know, more than just christian) I suggest you visit each and try to learn what you can. Its natural for everyone to question their faith at one time or another. No one can be quite sure what is true, we only lead our lives based on assumptions. It doesn't matter if you are a christian, jew, athiest, wiccan or whatever, as long as you believe in it, then its plenty fine.
Although, if you become a satanist, then I sincerely hope you end with untimely fortune for your unneeded ignorance.
Im serious.

you probably need to start looking into your religion and finding out what it's all about so that you can find out what you should do. just be strong and everything will become clear. have faith that this will work, no matter how long it takes, and you'll find your faith in Christ.

try and think of ONE person who you would feel comfortable talking to about this, and talk to them. watever yo do- dont talk to several people about it- it will do nothing but confuse you, and be questioning more than you are now. good luck.lamewithakause@yahoo.com

If you'Re Really that conceRned about this, peRhaps you should just go to the libRaRy and Read up on some diffeRent Religions??
But who says you *HAVE TO HAVE* a *ceRtain* Relgion, anyhow???? TheRe's NOTHING wRong with keeping youR beliefs peRsonal, pRivate, and in the comfoRt of youR own home -- ceRtainly NO shame in that. :)

I'm having the same problem..and I really don't know what to do either
Whats been working for me...is just try to live your life without thinking about your faith for a while..then maybe you'll understand it more, if you don't think it has to be involved in everything you do.

When you're at a point where you aren't sure what you believe anymore, you need to take some time by yourself, and work it out without other people influencing you. Try reading books, writing, listening to music - anything that makes you connect to the 'real' you. Then listen to yourself.

If you wernt quite sure what your faith was before, how can you question it? I would just not worry about it, and you will realise after a while if you are religious or not, its not really a big deal, its just a matter of sorting things out in your head, finding out what things you beleive, and what is nonsense.
