Search for the truth behind all religions choose for you and let no one sway your decision. Knowledge of all is the greatest gift you can give yourself.
I personally am a Christian!!

There are many to choose from.Since the Roman Catholic Church took many of it rights and rituals from the Pagan religion to try and get them to convert to Christianity. That is one place to try. and no the do not believe in nor worship SATAN or the DEVIL thank you so much forgiving Catholic Religion for starting this false story just because we didn't convert in large enough numbers to suite you.
All religions started out as so called Pagan religions . The first being Sun worship and nature worship.
Then you have a whole world full of different religious Ideas to choose from.

Believe in yourself and you cant go wrong. All religions are man made...by men for men.There is a marked difference between religion and spirituality...you can be spiritual without mans religion. You have a conscious...use it to guide you. The best advise I can offer...don't take any persons word as gospel truth...remember preachers and priests are only human and often do make mistakes...be the best person you can be and have compassion for other people...you cant go wrong. Good Luck!

(Philippians 4:6) Â "Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let YOUR petitions be made known to God"
If you believe that God knows what is best for you, then pray to him. Ask him to help you find the religion he wants you to be a part of. Pray to him ernestly, with an open heart. Do it as soon as possible.
Psalm 120:1 "To Jehovah I called in the distress of mine, And he proceeded to answer me." God will not turn away from the one seeking to serve him.

I find Buddhism and Christianity to be natural spiritual complements of each other; thus I recommend studying both together rather than either one by itself. Cultural differences between East and West can be disastrous when taken to extremes of passivity/inward reflection with respect to oneself vs. proactive/outward action in relation to others. So I find taking the best of both traditions promotes healthy spiritual balance and harmony.
One friend of mine who practices both explained Christian prayer as talking with God and Buddhist meditation as letting God answer. Thomas Merton and other priests who have studied Buddhism found it to be complementary with Catholic principles, and I believe the two will one day be reconciled as Aquinas did with Greek ethics that were once considered outside the church. I believe it is part of a natural spiritual progression for both faiths to seek mutual fulfillment and reconciliation in Christ as two folds of the same flock.

I am very pleased with the result of my search for truth according to the Bible. I am a Jehovah's Witness after years of studying and trying for 7 years to prove them wrong. I believe if your heart is open to the truth, you will be happy here also. May God bless you in your search.

If you don't like being Catholic well....where do you want to go?? More of spiritual inner-self kinda thing or do you want to become a different denomination of Christianity? It really matters to you because most all religions are based on peace.

Do your best to look at all religions and what they have to offer and if their beliefs mirror yours to your liking.
There is no one religion for everyone but there is a religion for each individual.
Blessed Be )O(
