Answer 1

I'm glad you came up with this list yourself instead of using a search engine to find it. Searching for this impressive list would have made you a cheap loser. I sure am glad you didn't go that route.

Answer 2

Learn about the only true God YHWH which is translated from the Hebrew Tetragrammaton, יהוה, to JEHOVAH which means “He Causes to Become.” These four Hebrew letters are represented in many languages by the letters JHVH or YHWH.



Psalms 83:18 That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.



Isaiah 26:4 Trust in Jehovah, YOU people, for all times, for in Jah Jehovah is the Rock of times indefinite.

Answer 3

You don't need to worship any of those gods. Get a Bible and begin to read it. Some parts of it will be difficult to understand. Keep on reading, however. I would recommend the New International Version. Also invest in a study Bible to help you understand difficult passages and references. After you have read the entire Bible, decide for yourself what to do with the knowledge you've gained. Attend some different churches and see if there is one that most closely agrees with what you've learned in your studies. Start attending it and gradually become involved with the members if you're comfortable. That is how you begin.

Answer 4

Well, research them all a little. Since you have quite the extensive list there and this might take some time, maybe I can help you start. I noticed you didn't mention God on your list. Take the Bible out of the public library, or else buy a copy. Start reading the Old Testament - you might find that it reads like a children's book. If you like what you're reading, continue. After the story of Creation, you will find that many of the other stories are a bit more in-depth and you may not understand or like them all. Just keep going. If you find a verse that you really like, write it down and cite it. Then think about its true meaning and repeat it to yourself in times of hardship. You may find you like to read a page or two of the Bible every night before bed, to relax and help connect yourself to God. Now, of course, I have a biased Christian opinion, but you could try this with the Qu'ran too, or the Torah. Good luck!

Answer 5

Ever consider the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Answer 6

you can't be serious..... i mean, even though i am atheist, i think it's wrong to assume you can worship a god just because you want to....



you believe what you believe. nobody can tell you that. im not gonna tell a christian that he/she's wrong, because honestly i don't know



you dont have to worship an existing god either.... these may all be wrong... the being that created us could be something else entirely.... to be honest, i dont believe in any of it.... i believe religeon was created to give us a point to life, but- excuse the song quote - it's just my humble oppinion.



you cannot believe in something becase someone on yahoo answers decided that you should... you believe what you think is true, like i do, like all the christians, jews and hindu's do. they dont all worship their respected gods and higher beings because somebody said they should...

Answer 7

You should worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster in the Sky.

Answer 8

That's funny. Seeing [by the looks of that list] that it may not really be a serious question, I would say close your eyes and pick one but I know that Jesus is serious about you, so he would want you to consciously choose him.



Jesus, His words are truth.



John 3: 16"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.



17"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.



18"He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.



19"This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.



20"For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.



21"But he who (AH)practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."

Answer 9

GOD just go to any church you feel comfortable......im lds and i love it :)

Answer 10

Rather than focus on being religious why not start off being spiritually serious? Observe the world around you and come to your own conclusions. If you still want a religion to follow then by that point you should have some views on the world that adheres to a religion that you can join and expand upon.

Answer 11

Psalms 83:18 That people may know that you whose name is Jehovah;you alone are most high over all the Earth.

Answer 18

Wow, this must be confusing for you, I once called myself atheist. I now know there is only one way to know.

You claim you want to be religious. The answer to knowing the true living God is in realizing your need for God.

When you realize your need for God there is only one who can provide the answer and only then will you KNOW God.
