P.S i also inquired to catholic church but they i dont want to undergo their year long RCIA..so there's no much of an option

I am sorry that you are confused on this topic--you are not alone.
Baptism does not wash away sin--it is an outward public display of what has already occurred in the heart of a believer: Realizing that you are a sinner and that your sin separates you from God who is holy. You accept that Jesus, God in the form of man who remained perfect and without sin, died on a cross to pay the penalty of your sins and the sins of every other person who ever lived.
If you believe this and died before you have the opportunity to be baptized, you would still immediately go to heaven when you die.
The fact that you are so energized to get baptized is wonderful because the bible teaches us to do so promptly. However, you should not be baptized as part of joining a particular "sect" or with any reservation about what you are doing.
I pray that this will help settle your heart, but please also read your Bible because all of the answers to these questions are found there.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast"

Religion is political as the Koran and catholic faith teach society to become better people.?
The koran says if the aggressor acts first then act but with dignity but know the difference between a black thread and a white thread and what this means know what is right and wrong .In the catholic faith mother mary of the sacred heart forgave but prays against evils that are committed in society.To teach people to become better and to fight the evils that people commit in society as this is political and religion is .David Harris.
Religion is spiritual, not political.
The desire for God is written in the human heart, because each person is created by God and for God; and God never ceases to draw each person to himself.
In response to this desire, most religions are humanity sincerely reaching out for God.
In Judaism and Christianity, God is reaching out for humanity and we respond.
Religion is a set of beliefs and practices followed by those committed to the service and worship of God. The first commandment requires us to believe in God, to worship and serve him, as the first duty of the virtue of religion.
