I was born as an agnostic/nontheist...and was that way till about 10 or 11 when i started to go into Hnduism. I officially started bein real strong in it since i was 12. i became vegetarian, and considerin i had to figure out life on my own, since nobody was eva there for me, i relied on Vedic teachings all my life. its a way of life that helped me grow, and it taught me many things. I had a lot of love for the divine, and regularly went to the local Hndu tmple (mandir). also, i met most of my friends from da mandir, and most of da ppl i kno eitha from Hndu events/holidays or da mandir. Its almost like a part of who i am, and fully contributed to who i was. well, life has its fair share of problems. but recently, i got fired from my job, and since than everything bout me changed. im no longer as pleasant, more isolative, n im loosin faith in god, more than i eva did. today i was in a convo w friend. he said i cant loose Hnduism, its a part of me that i grew w. i dnt even pray no more.

You really do not know anything about hinduism, about God and about Karma
If losing a job is forcing u to convert... then how many times you will convert ? there are problems all around... and do you think converting to Budhism, Islam or christinity... your problems will be over ?
Have you read Gita ??
if you still believe u need to convert go ahead... hinduism is not dependent on us..Truth does not need any supporters/followers

Why are you so worried about becoming truthful about your faith or lack of faith? It doesn't take any great amount of intelligence to blindly accept what you are taught or told is truth. The truth is that the poor and ignorant are kept oppressed by their religious leaders who want them to follow without questioning. As you have matured and developed your intelligence you no longer can just accept the teachings of others. You need to question your faith in order to either toss it into the garbage because it no longer is true to you, or you need to make it your own because you have questioned its claims and truths and found them to be your truths too, that you can base your life and faith on.

Now you see, this a mistake that all faiths make.
They blame God for what man has done to them.
Dont you know about the sayng: when God closes one door, he opens another.
Years ago, I broke my leg, lost my job, marriage broke up.
I went back to study. It was hard, single mum with two boys to raise.
But I studied hard and got qualifications.
looking back, losing my job was the best thing that ever happened to me. Because I was so far up the wrong road.
Look at you life, make positve changes. Allow what you know of your faith to guide you. Talk to someone you trust.
Dont worry so much about details, God, or whatever you call him, takes care of you everyday. Let him worry about your destiny.
Good luck and think postive.

I lived the life of agnosticism for quite a while. So what I can tell you to do is, read everything you can get your hands on. Anything that will help explain the things to you that are missing, don't let others force their religion on you and educate yourself on the world.
Always keep learning.

Keep asking questions. Listen to the truth when you can isolate it from all the garbage being spouted. Ignore any answers with the word god in them.
See reality and accept it.
Atheism is your target. Take those first steps ...

Good for you boy there is nothing like the joy of eating a nice cows rump. You go on out now and get you the biggest stake dinner ever. Nice and rare where when you cut into it the hot blood is just oozing out. woof that down and come on and be an Atheist like a man was made to be.

Ask God to reveal himself to you. I did this and I was overwhelmed with a Holy Spirit. It felt like love and the Spirt was very forgiving of me and my past. it knew everything about me, even my future. It told me my future will be bright and to trust in Him.

Better to be agnostic than to worship idols.
