Can someone help me please I am having a crisis of faith in my religion. Does any have some tips for me. Unfortuantely, I have a curse of questiong of anything and everything. Someone I know told me to just follow my heart, but my heart is retarded and doesn't know anything.
P.S. For you atheists, no I am not having a crisis of faith in GOD, but my religion.

I don't support the use of faith to sustain a belief. The truth will stand up under scrutiny, so there is no excuse not to question and scrutinize. O_o

How is that a curse? How else is one to find truth?

But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." BUDDHA

Why not be more specific? Are there specific tenets of you're religion you're having trouble accepting? If so, which ones?

If you end up an atheist after questioning then it means your previous beliefs couldn't withstand critical, objective scrutiny and were appropriately discarded.

Sounds to me that you have an advantage over 90% of the earth's population. Good for you.

Talk to a few religious leaders. Talk to your parents (if they are of the same faith). Pray.
Then write everything you feel down. Reread and think it over.

^^ fairly solid advice, but also know that youre weakening faith may be a good thing, as it allows you to for once in your life, experience something different.
you cant live in the same spot your whole life. eventaually youre gonna want to have a vacation
