Why is belief in a higher power required?
#3
RE: Why is belief in a higher power required?
I think we all know possibly the most common and biggest factors to why people believe in a higher power.
1) They are ignorant. Not in a mean way but in the sense that everyone is ignorant of how the universe began and how life started. We do not yet have an answer, and not knowing is something religious people don't particularly like.

2) They fear death because they don't know what happens to you after you die, no one does

It will be interesting to see the responses they come up with
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
