I think religion is a way for our brains to understand things that are impossible to understand. All civilizations do it. Like the ones that didn't understand volcanoes so it must be god right? They believed they were bad and the volcano god blew them up...

It is a way for us to handle the loss of a love one too I think religion is a pretty amazing phenomena when you think it encompasses all civilizations in one way or another.

When we (I'm talking humans as a whole) can't understand something then we say it must be God.

I am as guilty as everyone else. I am agnostic as well but when I climb up high and see snow capped mountains as far as the eye can see and beautiful colors in rocks and the glaciers, they are a fantastic color of blue all their own...anyway I catch myself saying there must be a God.

Then I come back down and the rational side kicks in again you know what I mean? Do you do that?

I'm interested to know if religion is Rating: 5
