Essay / To believe or not to believe, that is the question
Just like most people have never seen a million dollars, we are all sure it exists. Talk about the Tooth Fairy and it's a different story. The majority of society believes in a supreme being, leaving a minority of non-believers. Society as a whole carries a multitude of beliefs, each accompanied by a wide range of thoughts and ideas about them. To determine whether or not you should believe in a supreme being, you must recognize these differences and also take into consideration what you believe in your heart. There are many varieties of gods and religions based on them. Generally, the god is considered supreme to all humans and exercises great power and control over all of us. He is the form of all goodness. The gods give individuals a purpose and morals by which to live. Believing in a higher being gives individuals a reason to live, as most religions that have a God state that their goal is to be more perfect or like God so that they are worthy of going to heaven or to be with their father after death. . The morals of believers can be paralleled with the Ten Commandments or the lifestyle their god wants them to lead. Belief can also be a kind of vindication for all followers, as it provides a safety net to fall back on. In times of conflict, they can be comforted by his presence. These beliefs are based solely on faith, because during their lifetime they will have neither seen nor heard it. They associate good things that happen to them with their god, as a reward for being a righteous person, and believe that good behavior will be rewarded either now or in the afterlife. Believers base their ideas about their idol on the words of others, including the leader of their religion, parents and their specific book,...... middle of paper ......issues, and they are all around We. Many believe that believers ignore reality and live in an illusion. Still others believe that the Bible was brought into this world as a form of social control. If you are taught from a young age and conditioned to believe something, some kind of superstition, you will believe it. Society as a whole, considering the majority of the Ten Commandments to be correct, prevents individuals from harming one another. In conclusion, the world is diverse, each with many beliefs. Individual believers each have their own version of religion, just like non-believers. The believer and the non-believer are similar in one important respect: living a moral life. It doesn't matter what we consider to be true, as long as we respect the beliefs of others, are conscious of our actions, and do not harm others..
