I realize I have nothing going for me in life and I would like to join a monastery to become a monk and guarantee me a place in heaven.
How would one go abouts to joining a monastery?
Well, you can start by getting your ass to the monastery, no?

Catholic, Buhdist or something else?

Catholic/Christian. If I could find a Buddhist monastery that'd be tops!

^ I think you'd have to be more devout than that... I mean if you're not too bothered about which religion you want to devote your life to you should probably find out about them and start believing in one

I was told that one can be a Buddhist even if they're Christian.
Personally, I like the fact that Jesus is known for helping people(feeding the masses, walking on water, healing the blind, and sometimes even raising the dead). Jesus gets 2 thumbs up!
I need to go away to the monastery to prepare myself for paradise in my afterlife! If I'm a monk, it guarantees me a place with God, Jesus, & the Virgin Mary in heaven.
I read the Bible almost everyday and it is a valuable tool to me in my quest for truth, understanding, knowledge, and ultimately salvation.

That is competely untrue. I beleive it was the dalai lama who said that to be a christian and a buddhist would be like a lamb with an oxes head, or something to that affect.

P.S. Do they have sex in heaven? Or no?

What Bible? I don't think there are Prodostant or Born Again monks so you should be reading the Catholic one(it's longer). I would asume that you need to be baptised confirmed and all that.

It is a catholic Bible. I was baptised Catholic, however I NEVER had my confirmation.
However, I consider myself Christian Identity.

That's good, but the real money is in being a priest.

You looking for a straight ticket to heaven? Follow the muslims and be a suicide bomber! Complementary 72 virgins at the door as well! What more could you ask for?

So they do have sex in heaven...
Just shave your head and masturbate often. It's the same shit.

I think they are not allowed to do that... according to bible anyways.
