Religion, What do YOU think? Options

[MeLoNiSyUmMy]

I'm a catholic asian. Heh. And even though I do beleive in God, there are many other religions such as christianity, buddism, hinuism, jewish, muslin, and a whole lots more. What I don't get is how evryones stories came to be. For some reason, I don't think that's possible for those stories on life could ALL be right. I'm not saying that I don't think that others religions are right, I'm just not getting all of this.
Adam and Eve were suppose to be the first man and woman to roam this earth, (In my religion) but that would means that there was some higher power in which they were able to concieve african americans, asians, mexicans, and whites all together. I also don't think that's possible. At times though, I think that all of this are stories passed down from generation to generation and eventually got to churches. Like I said before, I don't think any of y'alls religions are wrong. But my faith in God has definitly become much smaller after I've thought about this.

Many things just don't seem to fit in to religion. Honestly, if there is a God.. he made us far too intelligent to expect us to continue believing in him.

I am agonistic- leaning atheistic.

I was raised to be a Presbytirian (Christian Protestant). I left the church before confirmation because I didn't fit. I don't believe what they preach, I don't belong amongst them. I do attend Catholic mass every other Sunday with my boyfriend, though. I find some of the sermons quite interesting and entertaining, but I rarely take them to heart. Some of the things said are really insightful- but I take them from a different perspective. I take the scientific approach on things. It's that simple. It's the only belief you really can't find that many holes in- because it's what usually creates the holes. I've noticed in the Catholic religion, that when the Bible does explain something you are to take it literally, but when it does not, you're not to take it literally because it is figurative language. I find it kind of tiring. Because if you follow the Christian belief, God was spiteful and wrathful until he had his son Jesus. I jokingly refer to that as "He was just grumpy because he wasn't getting any." But I don't really believe it. I won't bash anyone elses views unless they push them on me. I don't take well to being told that I'm going to hell (which I don't believe in) when I don't believe what they do. So many people are going to go to hell of any of these religions are true.

The only religion that I find trustworthy is Buddhism. We know that it was created by a man (a thin man, at that.. not your automatic thought of a large fat man). He teaches self-discipline (go figure), among other things. I find this believable, but it is not the religion for me.
