Religion: Sections A & B

• "What is Religion?"

This was the question posed as the first heading this chapter, and it is indeed a difficult question to answer. Religion is a difficult subject because not everyone chooses to believe in something bigger than us, that there is a possibility that things are more than they appear. And really I think that’s all religion is, the belief that there is more than meets the eye. Whether that includes some divine entity is up to you, cause I don’t think it really has to. Religion could be as simple as finding waking up everyday to be a miracle, and thinking about how and why you are here. That’s a religious question, and it did not necessarily come from a book, a priest, minister, or a rabbi. A question like that comes from the heart. And I think that is where religion comes from, your heart not your head. Religion itself defies logic, and it many respects go against it. So in that respect there is no real way to answer the question of “what is religion” because that would be using logic in area where logic does not exist. Religion is whatever you want it to be, its whatever your heart says it is. Its all the beautiful things that life has to offer, like love, compassion, hope, and really the idea of life itself.
