Do not believe what you yourself have imagined,
persuading yourself that a God inspires you.
Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests.
After examination, believe what you yourself have tested
and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions,
even though they have been held in honor
for many generations and in diverse places.
Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it.
Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past.
Do not believe what you yourself have imagined,

@perez10388 I was raised from an Atheist family, till I became agnostic at 17, and then Buddhist at 19. You do not "have to" convert into Buddhism. You may still be Catholic, and study Buddhism =)

I've read that Buddhism is better known as a philosophy rather than a religon. You don't hav to worry abot converting. Study it and make an attempt to live by it while observing changes in your life, and you are a buddhist aleady. ;)

I'm sorry I didn't realize you are only
a child.
Come back when you grow up, you will
then have experiences, that will give you
a point of reference.......
I think if you go to the music video's or
the cartoon video's you will be happier.

08king, this is about the stupidest post
that I have ever encountered.
If you are not in favor of the Abrahamic
religions, join the club.
What ever your 'spirtual direction', I think
you need a new compass.
You come of as a troubled person, who
lacks an open mind, you are too attached
to your 'miserable feelings'.
Although your first instinct may be to feel hatred towards these people, i'm afraid you are doing a disservice to yourself and others. Our goal should be compassion to all sentient beings, even those who don't show it back.
