I am going through a really rough time right now, and I am trying to figure out who I am, and what my beliefs are. I am just having trouble understanding that I am supposed to believe one religion over another, just because I was born into that religion. Doesn't that seem a bit closed-minded? I guess it would be a lot easier for me if I were raised more religious, and then I wouldn't feel the need to question this. I just would feel sort of brainwashed if I started to study my religion, and believe it, simply because I am supposed to. Also, the 3 very similar religions, Islam Judaism and Christianity. I have been told they all believe in the same G-d, they just believe in the different prophets of G-d. Is this true? I am also having trouble understanding the whole idea of prophets. Were they just sent down at an adult age, were they born and then started to feel like they had a more spiritual connection than other people? Please explain.
