Well, I'm glad you're here trying to work things out. I'd suggest reading many of the arguments against god/religion, especially the near infinite amount of logical statements against religious claims put forth by fellow atheists on here that contradict reality. Most of the goofs on here like to completely ignore them, and say they know things that they don't. Maybe, watch some debates, watch The Atheist Experience clips off of Youtube. Watch how every single clip, the theist can't put forth a good enough argument for god or their religion. They all fall apart with such ease. Maybe, think about when the mormon religion was invented, and where it got its information from, and look at how Joseph Smith was a known con-man. And, how could I forget all of the biblical contradictions. It doesn't make much sense that that's the work of an omnipotent god.
Whatever position you take, at least look at all sides of the argument extensively, before devoting your life to it. There are many people to listen to out there on the internet, you just have to really want to look at them objectively. If you don't you may be believing in a con that many others have been suckered into.
