What's the question? I live in America, where over 1000 different religions are practiced. Please, someone, provide me some proof beyond a book written by man that jesus is the answer. Oh, and faith in religion is immaterial; it lacks proof; just merely conjecture.

I am 24 years old and at the moment work as a cashier. I'm not too proud of my job and the salary is not the best. I also always imagined to work in a good job. The problem is I have social anxiety, I am very scared of people, I am quite and have close to no communication skills.....I usually just freeze up around people. So I wanted to ask you, maybe somebody has an experience....what would be a GOOD job for a shy person? What office jobs are there, were you don't have to interact too much with people? I am so confused, it seems I just can't find the right job for me. And I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of my shyness but.....nothing worked.

I really don't know what to think about anything or life any more. I get like mad depressed, start laughing at myself, crying, and wanting to die all at the same time, and think that the only thing I can really relate to is Twiztid's music. It is like their is 2 sides to me, one side is like you have a really good life, people who care about you, and should never give up on your dreams, and the other side is like your life is going to crash burn in the near future and you should give up now, no one cares if your alive or dead, you have no friends, you will NEVER understand life until it is too LATE, i feel like no one knows how i am feeling deep inside because if i told you would just say i'm crazy and need professional help. And if I go their they would just look at me like im f*cking retarded. CAN ANYONE HELP.

I grew up with Christianity, and always accepted it. Did the fundamentalist thing, but as I get older, the more I think about it, the more I question if I really believe any of it.
Do I only believe because I want to be part of something greater?
I simply can't accept it blindly anymore. I don't feel the presence of God like I used to, and would really be creeped out now if I did.
Also, I simply don't get how a loving God would give us free will knowing that some people would choose the "wrong" thing and go to hell. And how exactly would "free will" work in that case anyway? You don't tell someone you love them and then let them be punished for all eternity. And just how can an all-powerful God not be able to keep people from hell? Or even provide another option?
Ok, so there are supposed to be things that we can't understand in Christianity. We're told that we won't see clearly until after death- but by the nature of Christianity, that is way too late.

In a big house the children slept on the ground floor while their parents slept on the first floor. Amongst the children was an eight year boy. Every night, he heard noises coming from their parents bedroom which used to last for a couple of hours.

One night he tip-toed up the internal staircase and gently opened the door to his parents bedroom.He was surprised to see his mother sitting astride his father's belly and jumping up and down, whilst his father groaning away.

Next day the boy asks his mother "mom why were you jumping on father's stomach, poor fellow was groaning away" The mother, taken by surprise retorded" you see, your father has so much gas in his stomach, that I was jumping on him to remove it." Out came the boy's retort Mummy, it's no use doing this ; because as soon as you leave for work in the morning our next door neighbour Susan comes and fills up all the air into him back again"

A) To please God and get into heaven/attain salvation
B) To gain personal happyness and/or inner peace
C) To give your life balance and/or greater apprecation of life
D) To try to answer the BIG questions in life ( after death) and believe there is an after-life (so basically coping with death)
E) To attain guidance in issues of morality and/or fairness to apply to the complexity of daily life.
I am personally an atheist, although I full respect people of religous beliefs and their beliefs as long as they respect me and my lack of beliefs

I am just asking this to gain a perspective of why people choose to be religous, so if you are religous in ANY faith please respond honestly, or possibly rank those in order of importance if they are all important to you.

For Atheists, please answer why you think people who are religous do so, and please be civil, no bashing on either side.

Thanks in advance for any responses :)
