Re: What to think?
Lots of people are facing the same questions about religion, and I think it's your attitude towards finding or wanting a solution that will ultimately determine where you end up.

All in all, people are allowed to believe whatever they want to believe, my problem with religion is that so many people are just blindly following the crowd, or are being ultimately faithful for a purpose they themselves don't understand. It's not wrong to question or to try and figure stuff out, because you...
