I'm gonna interrupt for a second, even though I do like Proto going off on people...
I find myself without a religion (I think the correct word is agnostic, but I'm unsure of the terminology) simply because if millions of people who follow just one denomination can't agree on it, how can I rely on them to be right? How can I assume that they know the real God? How can I not be sure that maybe there's a chance that the BUDDHISTS have it right, and so the Christians and Mormons and all are going to Hell (or the Buddhist equivalent) for putting their beliefs in the wrong place?
So ultimately, I find that there is no LACK of faith, just a lack of something to put that faith in, exactly. It seems like the Bible spells it out to say "You can believe, but if you get ONE LITTLE DETAIL wrong, you're going STRAIGHT TO HELL. NO PASSING GO, YOU SINNER!"
What I find myself thinking is I'll be moral, and when the time comes, I will put my faith in what I feel is the right answer. No denomination would convince me, no one person could convince me, and I feel that it is the nature of God to let you "know" when you have the right answer. How is some human going to know? Because his book told him so?
I guess it boils down to "It's not what you believe in, it's what you believe" but I still find myself confused, so I'll keep thinking it through until I believe I've found the right answer.
There's my two cents... you may now continue.
