I assume it comes from when we began asking questions about the world around us. When we rose above the other species in terms of grasping what our place in the world was. Once that happens questions are asked and with a lack of answers then the next step is to come up with the most likely solution and one which makes you feel safe.
None is better and they are all wrong anyway.Quote:

This could be the answer and the dodgy aspects of religion (hate, intolerance) could come to an end.
Heres hoping.
Now I'm not a practicant orthodox but I still believe in God and follow traditions without going to church.Quote:

To set the record straight I don’t mind being ridiculed for my faith because after all I’m neither better nor worse than any of you.
If religion helps you and gives you the guidance you desire then that's what its all about and its fab you find comfort in that :)Quote:

Hmm…I also do it but I’m not sure I always get the best advice.Quote:
