I am not sure what my natural feelings towards God or religion are. I do not know how I would feel towards the notion of a greater power or how I would feel towards the concept of religion if I was not born into a certain system of beliefs, or if the concept of faith was presented to me with my mind a blank slate on the subject. No one really knows, I suppose, but some people seem to have this innate, strong, convincing belief in the omnipotence of God that truly appears to come from within. Then, there are those who, after years of conditioning and reinforcement of the Bible, or the Torah, or the Quran, have a belief that to them, truly does feel completely real and inherent. There are also those who believe because they want to - because it is comforting, because they need something to believe in, or because believing “just in case”, as I have heard people say many times, is better to them than not believing at all. To this day, I do not know which category my beliefs belong in, if any.
