A Little Thought of Religion

I have been quite confused about the reason why people, especially the young ones, are so sincere about their religion. The question popped out of my mind probably because I saw my friend, one day, listening to a vintage mp3 filled with Christian recordings. It appeared to me that he was enjoying from those recordings, looking for a self-relief or inner peace. Since then, the magic of religion has puzzled me. I don’t understand their sincerity. I don’t know why they are so keen on it even if they study science and technology. Why do they still believe in the Creator when they all know the world is made of atoms and micro-particles, and so sincere that they think the Creator will lead them, help them and deserve all of their love? I am baffled.

These days I was crazily idle on the internship. I was down because no one noticed me in the office and I didn’t have anything to do, even if I ask. I don’t want to lose hope so I keep cheering myself up. I then suddenly realize, maybe they don’t actually make the God-ruled world and the non God-ruled world opposite. They probably just take God as a mighty spiritual lead that rebuilds and confirms their faith in life when in doubt or downs. It is more like a spiritual comfort that reminds you not to give up and lose faith. Just like me sometimes thinking of the Laotianye looking at me and helping me, it is similar in how we look at religion, a faith that guides us and comforts us, and a belief that makes us feel received and loved. I guess that is the meaning of religion. It doesn’t actually matter which God you believe. Practically speaking with no offence, they generally all serve the similar purpose: to give us strength.
