Hey guys, I won't try to bother you with a lengthy story about my religious history. I had been a Christian for all my life, and became serious about a couple years ago. I still went to a couple gatherings to be around other Christians. I started to dislike it when I was told I wasn't allowed to find my own love and be able to explore my body. I then became increasingly upset over how hipocorsy (sp?) plays a role in the religion.
I understand how there is supposed to be love and that the way people choose to live is nothing but sin to the eyes of a Christian. I have recently and in the past discriminated this religion saying they're wrong and became increasingly ignorant of their God and Jesus. I am always annoyed when I am around Christians and everything they talk about annoys me. I feel like I want to stab them all. I honestly don't know what to do with myself.
I have been an Agnostic Theist for a while and I am just really confused on what to believe in now. I grew with this believe system all my life. I absolutely dislike the idea that we all are pushed around by having to do believe in something we don't see. I desire to believe there is an afterlife where we meet our dead loved ones. I don't really believe in reincarnation, but I am open to it. I also believe in the ideals of supernatural that spirits and demons are real.
I have a deep desire to explore other religions and see what I might like. I feel a looming darkness inside of me when I say "I don't believe in Jesus." For so long I have told myself that it is wrong to even think that out of fear I have a nice little place in hell for what I chose. I don't want to become one of those Atheists or just stupid people that get overly angry when Christians do stupid s**t. I really want to, but I have no knowledge to really back myself up at all.
Anyone have any advice for me in my religious explorations?
