Do what??

It depends on what you believe, and a bunch of strangers of yahoo answers can't tell you what you believe.

If you're going to convert, convert to what you REALLY believe is the truth instead of just going in a religion you think is cool and pretend to believe it.

Buddhism, Hinduism and Baha'i are way too serious to follow.

Looking at your three choices (which have little or nothing in common), I see you view choosing a religion as being like picking a brand of toothpaste.

I strongly suggest you investigate each option very carefully indeed before committing yourself, rather than asking advice from people who've never met you and who mostly know nothing about anything on a web forum.

You shouldn't let your faith to be determined by a bunch of strangers on the Internet. Choose the belief that is best for you and how you want to live life as.

Do nothing.
Your religion will come to you.
May take a while but something will click inside you.

I've studied all of them pretty extensively, except Hinduism. All of the three are pretty illogical and absurd, and certainly not the True Religion. You might want to try Christianity, which is the ONLY True Religion?

Unless you're a cannibal, or something equally sociopath, I think conversion is a stupid idea--Why exchange one form of mental slavery for another? The thing about the Vedas and the Sutras in fact that should make them attractive to you is that they don't require that you believe in them, only that you understand them. That for me makes both Hinduism and Buddhism irresistible--though I would think it plain silly to be "converted" to either. There is some philosophy in the Bahai Faith, but it is not deep compared to either Hinduism or Buddhism. If you really want a religion, meanwhile, why not make up your own, just for you? That's what I've done, and I must say, I find it takes a load off my mind--not to have to struggle to remember what things are holy, or what things that I always do religiously. My religion fits me like a glove, and it's simply unthinkable that I could ever do anything to transgress against it.

You can listen to any one on line but if you got to a Christian church just once and ask the minister or pastor which ever and ask him how God can help you i can not grantee that you will want to come back since Christianity is not on your list but i will pray for you.And note know matter what you choose,God will always love you because He loves everyone!

You should convert to whichever faith, that in all honesty and sincerity you cannot deny is the truth.

Examine the tenets of faith, see what is required of you, what is promised to you, look at the testimony of witnesses, and if you believe what is claimed, what is promised, and if you believe it is the absolute truth, only then practice that faith.

If you have doubts whether or not the faith is true, ask God to show you the truth. These "religions" all claim to have a god at their center, and there is only One true God. If their religion worships the true God, He will show you the way. Seek Him in truth and in sincerity. Ask "Him" to show you the way, to lead you in the right direction, to give you a sign, whatever it takes, so long as you truly desire to know the "truth," and are doing this because you seek to truly know God.

I am not going to give you my opinion as to which religion, but I will say that if you seek the truth of God you will find it.

Atheism. Or Buddhism (which is essentially atheism).

The proof will be in the sacred scriptures. Study, pray and meditate each of them and then let your heart decide.

None of the religions you've listed believe in OR enforce conversion. You don't have to forsake your own religion and convert in order to realize God or salvation.

The many religions of this world are like the many rivers of the earth. They all ultimately flow into the ocean - God. To claim that one river is better than the other is just exhibiting ignorance.

You can choose to believe in Jehovah, Allah, Krishna, Buddha or Shiva. As long as you live a righteous life, are pure of thought, speech and actions, you will realize God, regardless of your religion.
