religion is hard...

My father is jewish and my mom is catholic. neither parent is very religous and they tell me to belive what i want. i dont know what the fuck to belive.

If you are religious for the wrong reason than it is the easy.

If you are religious for the right reasons than you are faced with one of the toughest challenges the individual will ever face.

dont belive anything anyone else tells you and walk your own path...i belive it was Emerson who said "leave the church and find your own god"...wise words

Wise words indeed ... if you are Emerson or share a like personality. Unfortunately for humans different personalities are like grains of sand. There are lots of them. Some people are not going to be able to function without instruction. Some people aren’t going to be able to walk their own paths unless they are right beside another’s path.

What is good for some is torture for others.

Believe whatever you want to or natually do. It's not necessarily hard.

Don't feel you have to follow eithier of your parents religions. You might of course, but do it on your own terms.

My parents are Christian (sort of, in a half hearted way) and baptised me as a baby. I've never believed anything specifically Christian. (so that was a total waste of a christening)
If anyone asks I'm a miscelaneous (sp); just a jumbled up mix of diffrent belief systems, mainly Wiccan and Buddhist.

Who ever said you have to believe anything.

Yes, religion is very, very hard, but there's nothing wrong with doubt. In fact, it is essential to building real faith. You'll figure it out eventually. After all, you're only 16. But it won't do any good to give up. It's never done any good to give up on something because it's hard.

Messianic Judaism is NOT a form of Judaism. It was created by fundamentalist Christians as a more effective way to target ignorant Jews and turn them to faith in Jesus.
