Many people want to be optimistic even when their reality is a total mess, and religion is the perfect way to keep hope even when they’re in a horrible situation. For example, if a wife lost her beloved husband, then the wife can still be happy knowing that the god she believes in will take him to a happy place. Therefore, god does not exist and it is made up by people who cannot accept their harsh reality. Well, this is what I thought at first.
When I first heard about the concept of god from my parents as an infant, I was very skeptical and had ideas such as the one I mentioned. I first thought he was like a made-up tyrannical king watching and controlling every human being’s movement and behaviors. And I could not accept that. However as I grew up in a Christian family, my idea of this “tyrannical king” had changed into a loving and caring father who watched and cared for all us from up above. And when my ideas changed, my behaviors changed accordingly. I can’t say that I am a perfect Christian. However, I can say for sure that if I haven’t learned the love of god, I would have been a totally different person.
