A while ago, Keane posted a blog about why humans have religions. As the semester is ending and we are about to be done with this class, this is something I have have been thinking a lot about. I commented on the blog and said that it is because we want something to believe in that gives meanings to our lives, glorifies us, and offers comfort. But there are so many other reasons, just like there are so many religions. I think that we believe in what we need to. From a religious standpoint, it is also interesting to think (like Muhammad) that God purposely made different religions for different peoples.
What are your thoughts?
