Religion
Don't worry about what religions say. Religions have ruined alot of things when they were trying to help. Read the bible. Pray. Walk in the spirit. Follow what the bible says. If someone tells you something about the bible, don't take it to heart, mark that man. Then get out your bible and read it for yourself. Pray for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the bible. Our God is not a god afar off. He's with us. He's in us. Pray, FAST! He'll bring it to your attention through the channeling of your preacher, pressing the answer on your spirit, talking to you himself. He's real. The more you pray, the closer he gets to you. "Draw nigh to God and he'll draw nigh to you" nigh means near just incase.
