Faith

In my opinion, humanity believes in things greater then themselves because it gives them a sense of purpose and of belonging to be able to have somebody higher than themselves to follow. Also, believing that those greater than yourself can control certain things takes a certain amount of responsibility off your shoulders. Having faith and having religion helps to give answers to the unanswerable questions. Because we crave answers, we also crave faith. Faith gives people hope in bad situations, because a being higher than ourselves can fix the problems we cannot.

My own beliefs are always changing; they are never set in stone. I don't know if I believe in God, but I do know that I don't believe in church. Despite some of my family's attempts to convert me (all of my mother's relatives are Catholic, some more devout than others), I do not identify with one particular religion. I believe in evolution. I believe in miracles, but I also believe in hard work. I believe in ghosts. I believe that when we die, we go to a better place. I don't believe in Hell. I believe that all people have worth. And I believe that, no matter what, you should always keep you mind open to the beliefs of others.
