what do u believe in?

taken from dictionary.com

Atheist, agnostic, infidel, skeptic refer to persons not inclined toward religious belief or a particular form of religious belief.

An atheist is one who denies the existence of a deity or of divine beings.

An agnostic is one who believes it impossible to know anything about God or about the creation of the universe and refrains from commitment to any religious doctrine.

Infidel means an unbeliever, especially a nonbeliever in Islam or Christianity.

A skeptic doubts and is critical of all accepted doctrines and creeds.

What are u actually? for me, i am a back-slided christian. The reason i became a christian in the first place was maybe i was young then, and easily impressionable. At that time, the story of Christ seemed credible. Well after growing up and being more self-aware, the whole religion thingy kind of get distorted(in my own inner-self) and faith tends to waver here and there. Well i think i do believe that there is a higher being, but probably His words could be true. But the thing is, his words had been translated/distorted/passed down by Man. And Man has been proven to distort things to suit his own agendas and objectives. So how much the Word is true or not, we will never know.

Well, i think there is a atheist, agnostic, infidel and skeptic (may be 1 or more) in every one of us. Dun try to deny it, even though u know your faith for your religion is rock solid and unwavering. Close your eyes and search your heart and u know that there will always be doubt in your faith, be it big or small.
