I would like to know why you think i mis-punctuated the question.
Look at the question you posted:
"You're" means "you are."
In contrast, "your" means "of or belonging to you."
So clearly you mis-punctuated the question (and misspelled it as well), as I pointed out!
Q. E. D.

I worry cuz over the past year I been jumping from one religion o the next not knowing where ill end up. I question and end up with more. some people say you have to stay on one and have faith. How long must I stay on a religion to understand then concepts that don't make any sense? My brother who is Atheists is trying to sway me off the path of religion (or maybe hes the devil tv preacher tried to say that. I guess what im asking is if its ok to jump from theists agnostic and atheists from day to day.:run:
what does it matter really?
It isnt about jumping from one religion to another. Its about finding God. Religion is nothing more than an aide to this. You may even decide that there is no religion out there that matches your understanding of God and could therefore choose to go it alone. You have access to the internet which means you have access to a whole range of teachings. Eventually you will find that they all tell you to do good.
The problem which you are finding is that they all have their little differences but I would advise that you dont subscribe to any of them. If someone tells you something that you are supposed to be doing by that religion then search the scriptures that relate to it from as many sources as you can. Dont just read the Quran because you have spoken to a Muslim, dont just read the bible because you have spoken to a Christian etc. God does not live in a Mosque, Church, Synagogue etc he lives in you. When someone tells you that they represent the only 'true religion' dont forget that someone from a different religion said that to you last week so it means nothing.
As for your brother I can only say that he doesnt understand. There are lots of people who dont get what you are trying to do but that shouldnbt stop you from knowing what you are trying to do. Good luck.
I went through the same thing for years. I grew up Protestant Christian, jumped around to different denominations, and then abandoned Christianity outright. I tried many religions, before I found the one that suited me best. One thing you can do, is write down a list of questions that you would like answered, and then study different religions to see what answers they give. Then, answer the questions yourself, based off of your own reason and experience, and see what matches up. There's not one religion that works for everyone. And, if you have to combine religions, then do so. It's called sycretism, and it's done all the time nowadays.
It matters tremendously to those of us who value being literate!
So sorry if you don't.
