yeah I kno what u mean....
look inot all of them like I did. I found faults in them all.
"thou shall not kill"... and they eat animals?
also, the bible was changed, and some books arent even in it today. the lost scriptures. Jews and Muslims holly books are also contridicting.
I follow my own way of thinking.
I belive and worship in ONE god (not 3 parts, or worship jesus)
I dont think that any organized religion is right.
would it make sence for god to only appear to select people?
and for them to go to hevean... they have to listen to what he said in one book, that when he made it, most people wernt even awear of it?
I also belive in reincarnation, and if a christian trys to tell me otherwise... the gnostics belived in it, cuz jesus himself tought it.
u shouldnt listen to these people who tell u that only belivers of their faith go to heaven, thats kind of racist, as how about the native americans and asians and south africans who didnt ever hear of their book until the 17-20th centuries?
jus think on some of those points, and you'll c what i mean.

Carefully study the basis for each (NOT what the media says about Islam, Christianity, etc. but what they actually teach!). Read the Bible, the Qu'ran, the Torah... etc. Here are some questions/notes to ask yourself & consider:
If there is no God, what about right and wrong? Do they truly exist in an absolute sense?
Do people 'create' their own God? IE. "I want God to be like this, so that's what I choose to believe". If God does in fact exist, he must be above individual human 'desire', or he would not be God; a man-made God has no power. To believe something solely for the sake of comfort is a delusion.
Are perceived contradictions in fact contradictory? Many people will tell you that the Qu'ran or the Bible contradict themselves. Sometimes, this is due to lack of cultural understanding or context. It is an easy way for a skeptic to discard something.
Good luck!

I believe Islam is the true religion. First of all, which Holy Book has never been changed from it's original form? The Holy Quran. Second of all, which religion is the fastest growing religion in the world? Islam.

There IS no "right" religion, in that all but one religion are "wrong". I believe there are many pathways to God, not just one. That's why having a personal relationship with God is so much more important to me than following any one religion.

I think that you should either accept that all religions lead to God and choose according to what feels right for you. Or, like me, believe that I can love God without being a part of a religion that I do not agree with.

all religious people just read a book and accept it as the truth and they all believe that they're in the right religion and everybody else is wrong me however i'm agnostic because i read some of these books and am still not convinced of whether or not god is real or not and becuase by reading the books i used my reason logic and common sense and saw that certain things don't make sense and don't seem realistic in my opinion

I think God transcend religion. Reach out and ask Him for a relationship. Study the Bible for yourself. Kids are instructed by their parents. But there comes a time when the child grows up, they must make their own heart decision for God.

First off, you have to ask yourself, "is it logical?" research and take your time finding out about that faith. talk to people who belong TO THAT faith. not outsiders or media. if you can, visit the religious institutions yourself. Islam is a religion of logic, morallity, and peace. There are no "mysteries" or contradictions, everything is in black and white. i am speaking as a revert Muslim who was once Catholic for 25 yrs. I am 27 now and it has totally changed my life for the better. Remember: LOGICAL.

In my opinion no one should search for a religion. Spend time wisely searching for a relationship with Jesus Christ. Once you are serious, you will be drawn by the Holy Spirit ...no luck involved......read John 3:16 ...

Only God knows what is right. Each religion thinks they are right and everyone else is wrong, who are we to judge. You are only responsible for that which you have been taught. Try to live right and do right by others and God will reward you. Best wishes and Happy Holidays to you and yours.
