On the subject of religion...

Religion was created to explain the unexplainable!  Faith gives hope to all of us when we are struggling with negative issues (usually difficult to understand or difficult to justify).  We also use faith to explain things which we might deem unfair or unjust!  I see faith and religion as a way to put an order in our otherwise disorderly world.  Religion provides some ethical guidelines which allow us to structure our world and make it a better place.  In short, religion, faith, and hope are humanity.  These qualities are different from the people who represent and personify religion. I do not like these people because most of all they assume a position of infallibility, they use their respective religion to profit, and they do not truly serve the people they are supposed to support.  So, religion and faith to the values and ethics personified by the respective scriptures is good!
