Sometimes I say there's no god especially around those strict religious ppl, but when I’m alone I wonder if there's god, and I will never try to find out b/c no matter what there'll be no prove! so what's the use? But I’m still open to the idea that there's the ultimate power (stars+planets) which is why I only believe in what I can touch, smell, and see.
And some other times I say "who knows, there could be god or goddess" so thinking that way makes me little bit of agnostic (I usually think this way only when I’m depressed or when things are confusing)
Even the evolution still don’t make since to me!
Would someone please find me a name to label myself? I feel so weird!!

You are on the 'cusp'. A good question is "If there was a God, would you be willing to follow God?"
Don't look for someone to find a name for you or label you so you can feel accepted. Because ultimately, if there is a God and the label you recieve comes from a human than that name/label does not mean anything at all.
Find your label for yourself. Search for yourself. How do you search, it is very simple, research. This will be the best advise that I can give you. Pray to our Creator to lead you to the truth. If you truly want to know the truth. Pray in all honesty to know and it will be revealed to you. Read, the Bible, the Quran, research hinduism and buddhism. Stop listening to what others are saying and find out for yourself.

I don't think that "what you believe" is as important as "that you believe" in something greater than ourselves.And to continue to believe without trying to "save" or change others views.I also think that your faith and religious connections with"God" should be private and not a public,money driven business, that controls people with fear and threats of unknown,after life of condemnation and eternal suffering.The weaker more easily influenced tend to forfeit this life for a promised not proven after life.I don't see how that can be what any God or higher power would want.We live in the here and now and life is but a flash,why waste it on suffering and feeling bad about feeling good?No man has the right to judge another and the way they live their lives, as long as they are not breaking the basic laws of civilized man,ie.killing, stealling,lying,cheating etc.

Ignore people's rudeness to a sincere question. You are not weird, you are experiencing the normal questions of life. The Bible says that those who earnestly seek the Lord will find him. Read Matthew chapters 5-7, the Sermon on the Mount. You will be impressed. It could be a life changer for you. My prayers are behind you in your walk. Find a good Bible believing church, you have more questions than can be answered here.
Love in Christ,

confused, i've been there. knowing you have questions is the first step. as far as wondering if there is a higher power i came to realize how out of control i was and the order that is evident in the universe. then it was as if something inside me asked, 'if there is no higher power what am i doing here?' it's evident i'm alive and not here by chance. then begin my quest. years down the line not having all the answers but far from the 17 yr old boy with a higher realization of the universe... good luck!

If you can admit you don't know the whole truth, you can call yourself agnostic. It's a pretty handy term which actually fits a large number of people in your situation.
Don't wait forever to choose to believe something...investigate the various options and go with one. You'll be happier when you do.

I would say you're more of a spiritualist. There doesn't need to be a "god" figure for you to realize that everything is connected to everything else. You don't search for proof because you know there isn't any. But you also know there's power greater than yourself at work. What you call it is up to you. This is fairly similar to what I believe.

If you can only believe in what you can touch, smell and see, will you be able to recognize life after death? Let me know when you find out. The only label for you, that I can think of, is "Insecure."
