Many people are lonely.
Many people are made fun of.
Many people try to kill themselves.
Many people look to religion to try to make sense of it all.
I have known all these things.
There are truths in many religions, but not one is completely true. The Torah is closer to the truth than what Christians and Muslims believe. It is a translation from a very ancient script, that was written in Babylon 2,300 years before. The original script was written in Cuneiform on clay tablets. Only a few fragments of this survives to this day. The language it was written in was an Ancient Sumerian related to Munda languages. It was much, much later that Aramaic people came to this area from the west. They spoke an Ancient Aramaic dialect that later went extinct.
These two different languages mixed somewhat. The meaning of the words were changed somewhat. Later, the Cuneiform script was translated into a more modern form of Aramaic. The meaning of the words were changed even more, AND some of the people who translated it decided to add their own thoughts.
I have now 'wasted' almost an entire day trying to find some smatterings of truth in the holy scriptures. I did find several and I could somewhat show these to you but it would take far too much time and trying to 'discover' the truth in this way is impossible. One message that they gave to the Ancient Babylonians was to "preserve the environmemt around them". Look at the Book of Revelation 7:3 and 9:4 in several different Bible versions and see how they are different. Keep in mind this: jehovah, allah and yahweh are all the same name. (Yes they should NOT be capitalised.)
If you do need some direction until you can understand, look instead to Taoism. Although SOME of the concepts are incorrect, the basic Philosophy is a good one and much closer to the truth.
