I've been there. The difference with myself and them is I ask questions. I don't believe something just because someone tells me that's the way it is. Many people are brought up by their parents to believe in a particular faith. I was brought up Catholic. In 7th grade I told my nun to go to....that other place...and went to public school. Within a week or two I had a book on witchcraft. I never understood the Catholic mass until I studied witchcraft. I've been a truth seeker all my life. My mother used to say my first word was why.

First off i'd like to say that this is my 100th thread, if anyone cares. Also i'd like to say that this thread is not meant to be confrintational, i'm just trying to find the truth. My question is how can you be religious? I mean, not having any concrete facts to support your religion only faith. What makes your religion so much more credible than another? There all supported by the same thing, faith.
please keep answers civil and un troll like.

Then I started reading the bible for myself. I would ask so many questions I was actually asked to leave three churches. You don't question authority. I had a few people make comments about the sticker on the back of my car that said, "Question Authority." I got kicked out of a home church, held back from going on a missionary trip to Mexico and kicked out of a deliverance ministry because I couldn't speak in tongues. But that tongues thing is a whole book in itself.
