Or is it your traditional/cultural weakness? I need answers please.
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own — a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms."
"The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. The religion which based on experience, which refuses dogmatic. If there's any religion that would cope the scientific needs it will be Buddhism."
"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it." - Albert Einstein

If you are not Chirstian..you are going to HELL anyways since you are following false gods. There is only one religion in the BIBLE, because there is only ONE GOD. Chritians follow Christ. I'm not judging anyone..I'm just speaking from the BIBLE. Anyone who doubts God, or questions his ways will go to hell.
And to the person not believing how Jesus rose after he was slain, must not understand the power of God..and how Jesus was God's son. God does not need a reason to bring his son from the dead...the only reason God put Jesus on Earth was to erase the sins of the Israelites a.k.a God's people.

From birth, and i'm not kidding, I have been going to a baptist church. I'm a full blown Christian. My mom forced me to go to church until I was 13, officially a teenager. At that age, she believed I was old enough to make the decision as to whether or not I wanted to worship or not, of course.. at 13, getting out of bed at 7am was not an option. I'm almost 18 now, and I have been to church about 5 times since. I still believe in God and the whole Christian religion, but I just don't go to church anymore..
Because I was raised from such a young age that THAT was the way it was, and everyone else who worships anyone or anything other than God, just didn't understand and was wrong, so even if I try to believe that Christianity, in fact, may be the wrong one.. I can't seem too. Interesting when you stop and think about it...
Good Question.

no longer some thing is inaccurate in following a particular faith. if you're petrified of your identity that's extra perfect to sleep in comma and get your balls ****** up. faith isn't some thing yet only a fashion of residing existence, its all about the your reservations, your individual perspectives, options and options which stimulate existence. Osama did not chosen to be a Muslim, Bush did not chosen to be a Christian, Dalai Lama did not chosen to be a Lama, Gandhi did not chosen to be a Hindu, faith is being compelled on each and every individual through distinctive feature of beginning. in case you disagree with your faith that's extra perfect to be an aethist or detect a faith which supplies you u a feeling of attachment. thoughts are plenty, in simple terms seem for the only it quite is ideal ideal to you.

i am not a muslim because i born muslim. i went thru more than one exprience that i know for sure that Islam is the true word from our lord.
regarding what you said which is your own opinion that i have to respect. however, the problem is people draw an imiginry picture of God in their mind, and don't want to accept anything different. those true believers are the most people who are well aware of their lord. who is God? your God is something that is compelete. He has mercy, and forgiviness, and also punishment. he has kindness but also anger that is beyond ur limit. he Has paradise but also has Hell. He creates life but also death. Angels and devils. peaceful animals, and animals that eat each others. this is your God, worship Him alone.

I am a Jew-By-Choice because...
Judaism worships a God who is the Father of all humanity, whose attributes of kindness, mercy, compassion, and justice are to serve as examples for all our actions.
Judaism teaches that every person is created in God's image and therefore is of supreme value.
Judaism asserts that people are to be co-workers with God in preserving and improving the earth. We are to be stewards of the world's resources and to see that God's bounties are used for the benefit of all. Nothing that has value can be wasted or destroyed unnecessarily.
Judaism stresses that we are to love other people as ourselves, to be kind to strangers, "for we were strangers in the land of Egypt," and show compassion to the homeless, the poor, the orphan, the widow, even for enemies, and for all of God's creatures.
Judaism places great emphasis on reducing hunger. A Jew who helps to feed a hungry person is considered, in effect, to have fed God.
Judaism mandates that we seek and pursue peace. Great is peace, for it is one of God's names, all God's blessings are contained in it, it must be sought in times of war, and it will be the first blessing brought by the Messiah.
Judaism exhorts us to pursue justice, to work for a society where each person has the ability to obtain, through creative labor, the means to lead a dignified life for himself and his family.
Judaism stresses involvement, nonconformity, resistance to oppression and injustice, and a constant struggle against idolatry.

I reject religious authority and pursue spirituality in my own way. But if I HAD to choose, I guess I'd want to be amphibious.
