My family believe in Buddhism, and my teachers, friends believe in Christianity. Everyone keep tell me that if I can not decide to believe to any religion. I am going to lost and I will have no place to go after I die. What should I do? I really want to believe in some or one religion but I don't know which religion should I chose.

or:If you study both you will find they both have good teachings. You will have a bettter understanding of life if you cherish and know about both.If you choose one you will not the know good in the other. The choice is always yours.Hope this helps.
or:I would say learn about what the bible really teaches and god will let u know through it the \"only\" form of worship acceptable to him..jw.org...we studied Buddhism .muslim ..went to church as a kid ..all forms ..my dad jumped from so many religions ..but until I myself study the bible I was able to narrow down to the only true worship he approves of ..jesus said one will worship the father with ONE spirit and ONE truth..hope my experience helps you ..
or:Buddhist teachers will say that, yes, you can believe in Buddhism and Christianity. Unfortunately, Christian teachers would say you can not also believe in Buddhism, because to do so is a sin.Your friends are wrong when they say that if you can not decide to believe to any religion you are going to lost. First of all, you do have a religion - Buddhism - and an honourable one. Second, in many (if not most) Western countries outside the United States, no more than half the population still believes in the Christian religion. In other words, it is no longer possible to say that only Christians have the truth. Even if eventually you have no religion, you can still have a fulfilling life. If Christians believe in a God who provides no evidence of his existence but then punishes you for not really believing in his existence, that is their choice.
or:It's a bit like wanting to believe the sun revolve around the earth and simultaneously believing the earth revolve around the sun.Sure we can believe in whatever we want to. The question is, is our belief rooted in reality. It's your choice.Concerning shaping our belief around pleasing other, this is what the Bible says: \u201cDo not put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthling man.\u201d Why not? Because, as the Bible says, \u201cto [man] no salvation belongs. Indeed, putting trust in mortal humans instead of our creator only leads to disappointment.
or:Their are 1200 different religions in the US alone. You are saying that you would like to be 2 of those religions. Now Buddhism and Christianity are two completely different religions and beliefs. This interesting Compared to the human complexities tacked onto the Jewish faith, Jesus\u2019 teachings were marked by simplicity. Paul, one of Christianity\u2019s most energetic first-century missionaries, showed this when he spoke of Christianity\u2019s main qualities: \u201cThere remain faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.\u201d (1\u00a0Corinthians 13:13) Other religions speak of \u201cfaith, hope, and love\u201d too, and yet Christianity is different. How?Jesus emphasized the need to \u201cexercise faith in God,\u201d the One he described as the Creator. (John 14:1; Matthew 19:4; Mark 13:19) So Christianity differs from Jainism and Buddhism, both of which reject the idea of a Creator, claiming that the universe has always existed. And since Christ spoke about \u201cthe only true God,\u201d he clearly did not believe in a multitude of true gods and goddesses as the religions of ancient Babylon, Egypt, Greece, and Rome taught, or as Hinduism still teaches.The divine purpose, Jesus explained, was that he give \u2018his soul as a ransom in exchange for many,\u2019 to \u201csave what was lost,\u201d so that \u201ceveryone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. (Luke 19:10) For the Son of man came to seek and to save what was lost.\u201d Jesus taught that there is just one true faith. He advised: \u201cGo in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.(Matthew 7:13, 14) Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; 14\u202fwhereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it. Christian hope is centered in the Creator\u2019s promise that his government will solve world problems. So from the start of Jesus\u2019 ministry in 29\u00a0C.E., he encouraged people to \u201chave faith in the good news\u201d that \u201cthe kingdom of God has drawn near.\u201d (Mark 1:15) Unlike Eastern religions, such as Ch\u2019\u014fndogyo, Jesus\u2019 teaching did not stress nationalism as a way of realizing the Christian hope. In fact, Jesus rejected all suggestions that he enter politics. (Matthew 4:8-10) Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9\u202fAnd he said to him: \u201cAll these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.\u201d 10\u202fThen Jesus said to him: \u201cGo away, Satan! For it is written: \u2018It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.I would also suggest that you go to jw.org.
or:What comes out of your mouth doesn't have to have anything to do with what goes on in your head.What you do Sunday morning doesn't have to have anything to do with what you do or how you pray behind closed doors.You can choose what you want just don't advertise it to everybody.
or:Of course we can believe in 2 different religions but the challenge is how to balance our beliefs? One religion may say that you should pray in a certain way, not eat something and the other religion may say you should not pray in that way and you should not eat something else. While we are allowed to believe in as many religions as we want to, and while we realize that all religions are good, we have to understand that religions only teach us the basics about God, they are like kindergartens. Therefore we have to evolve beyond kindergarten, we have to go to the university of Spirituality. No need of changing our religion, we must believe in the basics of our religion and then seek God, yearn for God. This yearning will take us in quest of God, and then we will realize God in the temple of our heart. That is the way forward in religion.
