Why God?

     Religion is safe. It provides answers for the things that cannot be explained. I think that is why people cling to it. With religion we are able to give reasons for the things that confuse us. As humans, we do not like the unknown, it scares us. So religion takes care of that unknown for us. Religion provides a safe blanket for humans to land on when they are sad, confused, mad, or just looking for answers. Is that practical? I personally don't think so, but I think it is good for people who need it to have. I think that people who search so hard for answers that they will never find need a reason, and religion is that answer for them. Although I do not agree with it, I don't have a problem with those who choose to look to a god for their explanations or answers. I just ask them to not force their beliefs on me.
