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.

Why?

     Why does doing a good deed or treating people with decency make them a good christian. Why doesn't it just make them simply a good person. I never understood why people find the need to attach a religion to the good acts of another. Doesn't the Jewish religion or Buddhist or other religions express the desire and want for people to do what is right and just? Why do we find the need to attach the Christian religion on to acts like these? 

God not so mighty

       My question is, if God is this all mighty being, than why must he send others out to do his work and to spread is greatness. Shouldn't a God that is the only true god, allegedly,  be able to get followers because he is simply so great and powerful? Why must God convince people that he is great, and make others preach his greatness to get them to follow him. It never really made sense to me. I always thought that if something or someone is so great than others do not need to be convinced of it. They will simply believe it. Perhaps that is just naive.
