Hindus and Buddhists and Mormons oh my!

I have officially started on my quest for God, or lack of.

I work on Sundays with this other guy from India who is a Hindu. Once I found this out, I could not stop asking him questions, and he loves the fact I'm so interested in it. We've talked about everything from rebirth to the fact that there HAS to be aliens on some planet somewhere in the galaxy. I find it impossible to think otherwise. He and I have a lot of the same ideas, and I feel that he's going to be a very important part of my life.

I was always interested in going to a Buddhist meeting, but today really was the turning point. We had Geshe La come to our high school and talk to us at lunch. He spoke about how every object in the universe is made from the same material of atoms and that it's all connected. Also he spoke of how we label everything in our lives. What's the difference between a friend and an enemy? The label we give them, but they are both human, and we cannot be angry at our enemies, but feel deep sorrow for their situation and current birth. I'm going to his teachings this Sunday at 11:00am-12:30pm. After that I go to work from 2:00pm-7:00pm, and then after that I'm going over and meeting with the Mormons from the Church of Jesus Christ.

I'm not real sure what to think about Mormons. I have a couple mormon friends, and they are the nicest and most tolerant of the Christian denominations I've met. I'm interested to see what they have to say, and hopefully I can understand better.

I have too many thoughts in my head without direction, and from a combination of these three religions hopefully I can better understand myself and the world around me.

I'm curious to see where I end up in 10 years.

God only knows.
