Read the Bible, Jesus is the only way to salvation.

Save yourself.

There is no "right" denomination. You need to find the one that fits you best. I find Baptist (not Southern Baptist) the one for me and my family to be the best.

Find a church that works for you as well, it might take many many churches over several months, but once you find it, you'll know.

Good luck!

I think you need to dive into the New Testament. Read about who Jesus is, what he did while on earth, and what he can do.

I don't think there is a church around that can lead you to the light. Christ must do that. Afterwards, visit several churches. One must go to church to worship Him.

I will pray that you see the Light.

I am also agnostic. I am currently reading a book that uses great logic though and am interested where it will lead me. Immortality, The other side of death.

there is the link for it on amazon to see what it looks like.

Perhaps, but blind faith without research is plain stupidity. As a human being it is his place to find the most logical answers to his questions. Even Christianity can be logical if you maintain an open mind and look in the right places. In my opinion, the Bible is not the only thing you must look into to find the answers. The Bible only relates to us a story until we look into history. A story with so many promises that those of weak hearts simply choose to trust it due to many reasons, including but not limited to:

Near death experience
Hope for immortality
Love
Not wanting to accept the reasonable belief that people may just become dirt when they die and our friends/family will NOT be seen again

I am currently looking into other places than the Bible as i was raised Christian. Many things just are too far stretched to say the faith is "beyond reasonable doubt". I would love to say Christianity is the truth, but currently it would be foolish of me to say so. Blind faith is stupidity. We as humans just don't want to accept that the end may be a negative and many will accept the Christian faith without true Christian intentions. Agnostic is a good place to be. Stay there until you find something to be without reasonable doubt.

I guess I will have to be placed into the stupid column. I choose to live by faith. I had rather attempt to live my life for Christ and be wrong than to not have believed and trusted upon Him and be wrong.

You can live how you like. I should correct my words and say it is my opinion that it is stupid to live so blindly. To live this way only to say, "Well if I'm wrong at least I don't go to hell" is not a Christian view.(Again my opinion) This is to live in a mild case of fear.
I once asked my dad this question...(he is devote Christian)
If you were to go to Heaven in the end and me and mom were to be sent off to hell... Would you leave us behind without batting an eye?
Without hesitating he said yes. Blind Christian faith states you love your "chance of a faith" more than the people who actually love you.
I could not leave anyone I truly love behind. If the punishment is eternal suffering. So be it, I would feel better suffering knowing I am suffering for the ones I love than leaving them alone.
I have a hope that everyone will go to Heaven(if it exists) and it will be a forgive and forget. Nothing will be perfect without my best friend or family there. Nothing can be perfect for my friends or family if their friends and family are not there.
Even if I hate my family's friends with a passion. They would be sad for them not to be there(assuming we keep our individuality and mind). If EVERYONE is not there. It cannot be perfect and will only lead to sadness leading to sin. We must be wiped of our individuality for us to forget these souls living in torment while we live in mansions.

Forgive and forget. This is the only thing to make sense to me.
You tell your dying loved one that does not believe in Christ that he/she deserves death and you will happily move on while they suffer. Could you? It would be cowardice to think it and not say it.
