Everytime i try i new thing, i end up being depressed.
Latest is was the Urantia Book.
It looked nice at first, but after i found out, that only less than 1% survives eternally (i want it to be 100%), i became so very depressed, because this book seems so convincing.
I'am a very unsuccesful retard, selfish dick, hateful etc. I know i can't change, and thats why i know, that if the Urantia Book is it, then i'm going to die, but i still feel like the book is telling the truth.
I can't even flee from this problem by commiting suicide, so verything is feeling so hopeless!
I don't know what to believe, but i'm very very afraid dying.
Please help!

If you are not joking, get professional help.
I have taught the Urantia Book for over 30 years to date. Nowhere does it make the foolish, ungodly statement that "only less than 1% of humans" will survive. You are either making that up, or are unable to grasp 2097 pages of college graduate level material.
Read the Gospel of John; as very much of that is fully supported by the greater Epochal Revelation of the Urantia Book. Read now and believe John 12:32; and this is also the same in the Urantia Book: Jesus states: "...I will draw all humans unto Me."
All will be saved by the love, mercy and infinite Spirit-drawing power of our Sovereign Universe Creator Father Jesus Christ ! Amen ! Unless they later, when taken up into the loving and merciful perfect judgment of God and Jesus as One in Spirit, absolutely and finality decide to reject our Father's glorious plan of eternally perfecting and serving all persons as God wills. Then they will be painlessly extinguished from existing forever. No ungodly "burning hell".

I really don't know much about Urantia, but it doesn't sound like it is doing you much good.
Perhaps you are looking in the wrong place?
I can only share with you the truth that I have found that gives life meaning and hope for me.
God created a perfect world without sin and death. Man's disobedience brought sin and death.
Our continued disobedience and sin is the reason we fear death. Something deep within us placed there by God,
proclaims to us that if we die in this state we are in big trouble. And we are.
God's law is so high that by ourselves we cannot keep it.
This is the ten commandments in todays' english.
1. God must be first
2. Nothing us must take his place of worship and adoration in our hearts(even ourselves.)
3. We are not to swear or use God's name vainly
4. His day is to be kept holy
5. We are to honor and obey our parents
6. No hate or killing allowed
7. Adultery is sin - and that includes looking lustfully
8. No stealing
9. No lying
10. No coveting something that belongs to another.
With laws so high, you can easily see we all have broken at least one. God says "break one youv'e broken all"
We're in trouble.
But God offers hope through Jesus Christ who took our punishment on himself.
If we will believe in him, and turn from sin, he will cleanse us and give us a new heart and life. He makes us new and gives us the power to do what we can't do by ourselves.
His word becomes "alive" and do-able.
In Him we have hope of eternal life, and a reason to live.
Look to Him, friend!

Draw closer to me and I'll draw closer to you, if you're really interested in knowing peace of mind and heart, then beleive on the "Savior the Messiah" and recieve life, for I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father but by me.
Read the bible and may G-d open your eyes ears and mouth, may your eyes be opened so that you may see him, may your ears be opened so that you may hear him, and may your mouth be opened so that you may confess your sins to him and be forgiven of your transgressions.
The reason you are in torment and in fear is because transgression of the law on your part has disconnected you from G-d.
Let me give you an example that will rationally explain this to you a little better.
If you are behind the wheel of a car and straight ahead of you is a lite which will turn red, it means you must stop, what happens if you go through that lite, well......you risk on getting stopped by a policeman, who is doing his job to protect you and other citizens.
If you disobey and run through the red light and hear the sirens of the police will you not be in fear for disobeying the laws of transit, because you know you must pay the consequenses for running the red light?
Ofcourse, this is exactly the kind of fear that comes upon people as a result of breaking the laws of G-d.
If you obeyed the traffic signal you would not have to fear the police, and you would not have to pay the penalty for the infraction. Do you understand?
So.......{you will ask}, how can you restore yourself unto him and be at peace again with G-d?
Accept his gift of the word that was sent to you and all mankind.
Who is the word?
"Savior The Messiah"
I would like to end my teaching to you on this note: that if you are drawn to G-d it is becuse the holy spirit is drawing you to him, for only G-d saves and it is his spirit that honors his son and it is the spirit which is in his son that honors the father and these words which I am writing are spirit if you "understand" them it means that G-d has revealed it to you.
So then I would say: May the seed which has been sown in you take root and grow and may G-d not let the evil one remove it from your heart. And you shall say ......amen

Pick up a copy of The King James version of the Bible.
You will find out that your soul is ETERNAL, that God and Jesus Christ love you very much, and you will learn how to live your life in such a way that you will not have time to be depressed!!! For a great Bible teacher, log on to www.shepherd'schapel.com and find out when and on what channel Shepherd's Chapel is televised in your area.
Every person has a soul!!! When our flesh bodies cease to be, we go immediately to our Heavenly Father.
Even sinners go to our Heavenly Father. He can forgive anything!!! He loves us.
Good luck and may God bless you.

Faith is a very personal journey. Whether you choose to believe in traditional religeons or new wave religeons is your choice, but investigate a combination of both. You may find one that works for you. Personally, I'm a christian, and I believe in my heart that when we die, we will go to heaven if we have lived our life to the best of our abilities. I have no proof, but that's what I choose to believe and it makes me happy. But don't let people try to sway you or 'order' you into a particular faith, it's your choice. Find one that makes you happy and gives you the right tools and environtment to fulfill your life. If you have any questions about my faith, feel free to email me and I'll be quite frank and honest with you. I've suffered from chronic depression for 17 years of my life. It's hard, but trust me, you can and will get through it. Good luck. Matt

6 easy steps
How to Believe in God
Six Easy Steps
1. First, you must want to believe in God.
2. Next, understand that believing in God in the absence of evidence is especially noble.
3. Then, realize that the human ability to believe in God in the absence of evidence might itself constitute evidence for the existence of God.
4. Now consider any need for further evidence (both in yourself and in others) to be a form of temptation, spiritually unhealthy, or a corruption of the intellect.
5. Refer to steps 2-4 as acts of “faith.”
6. Return to 2.

Ummmmmm we're all going to die -there is NO WAY round it.
Perhaps you would be better looking to change the way you live your life rather than fearing death.
