Believing in yourself is half the battle

Unread post

ok..... so I used to never believe in much religion, didn't think it fit who i was..... but i wanted to understand it better.... so i went to the church to christ to see how it is..... the atmosphere, the people, it seemed pretty cool, so i went a couple more times, but i realized that a lot of them are obsessed with that religion, .... i mean 24/7, that was one of the major things that bothered me ..... then they had all these rules at that time, that you can't date anyone outside the church, or have friends outside the church, .... that really tuned me out, so i decided to not believe in anything for a while and just focus on myself ,.... but i would also research all the other religions and see if anything catches my eye.... so after researching for a long time ( 4 months) I found a religion that fits who I am....... Buddhism..... Mind, Body, & Soul.... Meditation, Focus,. This Religion inspired me, because it fits who I am..... i respect everyone in their choices on religion and hope that they respect my choices.............. if anyone agrees or disagrees with me please let me know, I would love to hear them............... until next time

Blessed be Everyone

I suppose if you feel the desire or need to be involved with a religion Buddhism is the least intellectually harmful and probably the most peaceful of the major world religions.
