I have a question for all of you believers out there...
If there are so many different reilgions, then how do you know which is true (please dont answer with 'faith')? If there were some 'higher-power' that everybody knew was true why wouldnt the whole world become that religion, or believe in them? I think that the whole Bible, God, Higher Power deal is fake. There was once this man who traveled to Africa (around the 1400's before any European had ever been there) and wrote a book about how there are people there that had faces in there chests, necks 5 feet tall, etc. Everybody believed it. How do you know the Bible deal isnt like this? I am pretty sure there is no proof that this stuff is real... so please explain it to me. And don't say faith because some people who dont believe, or have 'faith', dont think that there is a higher power and it is just a bunch of... fake stuff. |

Well, I'm sure this has been brought up before, but all the same.
Yeah, I've thought of that before. Who's to say what's real and what isn't? People as a whole want to believe that there's more to life than what we know. There has to be something that we can't comprehend. If there isn't, then life is pointless and why should we continue pursuing a material "happiness"? It's an endless, possibly pointless circle. The belief in God and religion gives people something to strive for: heaven. |
