lost in god

Yes, by all means you should discover what you believe in, but I’m attempting to discover the same thing myself right now, and the more I learn, the more confused I get, so don’t expect a little research to make you suddenly see clearly! lol I grew up the same way, with hardly any explanations or guidance on religion. My family could be considered non-practicing ‘Christians’ but I just could never swallow it.

Just because your parents don’t go to church or have a relationship with god, doesn’t mean they’d be upset by your choice to do so. It’s possible your family didn’t force their beliefs on you as a child for the simple fact that they do want you to make your own decisions.

Start your search here: http://www.beliefnet.com/Entertainment/Quizzes/BeliefOMatic.aspx to get an idea of what you fundamentally believe and do not believe and get a little background information on some religions. Then, I recommend talking to your parents. Ask them what religion they consider themselves to be, if any. Ask them what religions they find interesting or what religions they would like to know more about. Maybe you, as a family, can discover what you believe together.

Either way, you need to be fair to yourself and your peace of mind. Your parents and family don’t need to find comfort in your religion, you need to find comfort in your religion.

Best of luck on your spiritual journey…:)
