So I wasn't sure where to post this seeing that the philosophy and religion forum was just a division of different beliefs... but anyways, I just recently realized that I was only believing in what I was raised to believe because... I was raised to believe it. First off I believe that everyone has their own truth, and that no one should be put down or dissed for what they believe. But being at a place of not really knowing what I believe, I was wondering if it's really all that necessary to call yourself something. I mean I believe in aspects of buddhism, but not necessarily re-incarnation, and aspects of agnosticism but not necessarily a lot of the non-spiritual aspects that I've read about. I'm pretty confused honestly.. Is it bad that I'm not being able to fully commit to one thing.. or are these types of labels sometimes unnecessary?

I had a discussion with my guardian today (who is a very dedicated Christian), and he pretty much shot down what I believe, and told me that there is only one truth and that I have to make a decision of what I believe... I didn't think it was necessary... but am I just being foolish??

Anywho, lemme know what y'all think.

thanks.
