i dont know what i belive in as far as religion.most of my relatives are christian but i dont belive in the same things they do.if the kids in my family curse they`d want to punish us but, i belive in the bill of rigths(freedom of speech)so i think anyone ang everyone should have these rigths.when i was younger i was not very religious and belived very little in god.(if at all)i did not belive in santa clause,the tooth fairy, or the easter bunny because in my mind,i thougth they where not real.adults lie to little kids all the time about this type of stuff;then when they get older,they figure its not real.i also know some of the things i belive in come from science.i whould rather belive in one of the three theories about the universe than sayind god created everything.if so than,how was he created himself?even thougth i think people dont really need religions to live healthy,normal lives i`d like to know where i stand by as far as what i belive.i dont know what else to do from this point on,i dicided to post my\this story on fan pop to see if anyone had any ideas or what i should do.

Hopefully I can help a little in at least one part:

1. For the Cursing and First Admendment, its talking about how Congress can't limit Free Speech. Either way, I think that cursing should be used limitedly, b/c it affects how people view you. And also you never know who is watching. Plus trying to set a good example to others is also good too.

For a replacement, may I suggest using words close to a curse word like shoot, dang...it just makes you look better, and have more respect among others. and you can get your feelings out, while still looking good.

2 I see that you have asked the question "How was God created Himself?" -This question goes beyond a humans understanding, and can not be answered, the closest thing we have though is He just was.

Sort've like video games, programmers created the world, with characters and everything, and if the characters must ever wonder were they came from, all they can get is that we were just there. I am also not saying we come from a video game, just it can be compared to it.

Another example of something being just there is the 5th dimension, we know its there, just that we can never comprehend or imagine what it looks like or where it came from.

3 Believing in Science over saying God created everything:
To answer this question better, I need to know more specifics of what you believe/interested in believing in science.

4 "Even though I think people don't really need religions to live healthy, normal lives..."
That could be true...but those people are the ones going through live trying to find something to satisfy their an inner desire. These people try to find full contentment in anything they can, for some riches, others Marriage, even entertainment and cars, but none satisfy.
And although a person can go through their lives normal and healthy, They will need God to bring them to internal peace and future joy.

Hopefully after reading this long comment, one of your questions are answered, This is all from a Christian Teenager viewpoint, and if you have any other questions, feel free to message me.

This questioning is part of the process of growing up and establishing an identity separate from one's parents. No matter what your parents may have taught you, at some point you will question and say "Is this really what I believe?" You have to answer that for yourself.

For me, I was raised atheist (not capital "A" Atheist: I wasn't dogmatic about refuting the possibility of deity, I was just raised without any belief in one), with a leaning toward scientific inquiry. As an adult, I was invited to attend church by a friend, and there I heard from others who'd been without faith what they did: they decided to treat faith as an experiment and see what would happen if they behaved as if it were true. As this made sense to me, I tried it myself and came to become a Christian, convinced by my own experiential data. I remain very sympathetic to agnostics and atheists for this reason. I don't feel that anyone should believe something that they haven't tested themselves.
