Crisis of Faith

[the ultimate pimp]

Can someone help me please I am having a crisis of faith in my religion. Does any have some tips for me. Unfortuantely, I have a curse of questiong of anything and everything. Someone I know told me to just follow my heart, but my heart is retarded and doesn't know anything.

P.S. For you atheists, no I am not having a crisis of faith in GOD, but my religion.

I don't support the use of faith to sustain a belief. The truth will stand up under scrutiny, so there is no excuse not to question and scrutinize. O_o

How is that a curse? How else is one to find truth?

Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." BUDDHA

Why not be more specific? Are there specific tenets of you're religion you're having trouble accepting? If so, which ones?

If you end up an atheist after questioning then it means your previous beliefs couldn't withstand critical, objective scrutiny and were appropriately discarded.

Sounds to me that you have an advantage over 90% of the earth's population. Good for you.
