I'm not trying to argue against Buddhism or anything like that. I haven't been following the Buddha's teachings for very long, and it has helped me quite a bit. I've been questioning Buddha's path lately though, which has left me in a sort of limbo.

Nathan, questioning is a good thing. We are not on the path of Buddhism, to blindly accept the words of the Buddha's teachings, but rather to look at them, try them out, apply them to our everyday life. We then learn, by experience, what works or resonates for us, and what doesn't.

I think we all at some time or another, have been in the state of 'limbo' that you describe, I know I certainly have.
