I ran across this link doing some research of my own last year and thought it kinda fit here. Check out Krishna. I find the parallels fascinating.

My advice, take your time to do your own research and don't let anyone push you into (or away from) a certain belief or non belief. What you choose to believe has to be yours ... you need to own it. If you don't rely on the emotion-driven "still small voice" but level headed research, you can't go wrong. Good luck on your journey!
I'm a free-thinking atheist and it took me about a decade to reach the point where I could accept it. "Atheist" was something baaaad almost like a bad word growing up. If someone is a theist, they at least have something in common with mormons; whereas an atheist is just plain crazy, anti and evil. So, I was taught. Anyway, here I am an atheist. If I ever convert to another religion, it will be with my last parting breath. You know, just in case ;) though I cannot see myself doing that now but they do say you should never say never! :)
