Jesus Christ appears in Lebanon!!

I was just trying to explain that: If you believe in God then you don't need to hope do you? And if you don't believe in God and hoping doesn't make it true - why do you hope?

Where does hope fit into the equation on an existence question?
So: Why do you hope? Is what I'm wondering.

Fair enough. Hope is a by-product of 'belief' mixed with doubt maybe. I'm not sure about there being a God. I don't like the fact that I'm not sure. I'm sitting on the fence, not by choice. I can't help this 'hoping'. Maybe it's an emotional byproduct of something. I think it is understandable though, but it doesn't have any importance in relation to 'truth' and I'll agree after considering this, that it has no place in the existence question but is a personal 'ingredient' that I don't mind admitting to.
