I became christian in my teens as I went to church with friends and i really did believe but then as I got older life just started to suck more and more and when people told me things like "god always does whats best for us" and "every day of your life was planned by god" then turn around and say "bad things happen because of free will" i just want to strangle them.
but now as an atheist i have learned to accept life for what it is and make the best of it, but i wonder sometimes if they are right. because what if i die and then gods like "u denied me im sending u to hell!!" and i know it would make him a prick but SO MANY American and European people have believed in Christianity for all these years, can they all be wrong??
IMO the best religion is Buddhism cus its not as much a religion as a life style, not all Buddhists believe in reincarnation or even gods or anything, their basic tenants are basically to be nice to others, control your thoughts, dont do evil things, work for the good of others, and respect all life, and when i read about their stuff how our suffering comes from our desires, that makes a lot of sense to me because i notice a lot of the things that make me depressed are because i dont have something i want - but when i just accept it and let it go, I feel like a huge weight is lifted off me and i can finally relax and sleep at night.
Buddhism philosophy has helped me more than anything, and even modern day psychology incorporates a lot of eastern philosophies into their treatment, like DBT for example.
but i still cant help wonder, what if christians are right??
