Why is religion so important to so many? I have an idea and of course it does not have to be the right one for everybody.It seems logical to me : lack of self-confidence! It is easier to shift responsibility over,blaming gods, politicians or our own parents or (and) partners. It is more comfortable than taking responsibility and working hard.The fear of the challenge of new steps in our lives,where we are not sure of the outcome. Those who do not use religion as a refuge,use alcohol or drugs,excessive food,medical drugs,workalcoholism,exaggerating sports,etc. All my respect to those who don't use any forms of cover!!!<br />Am I any better? Not necessarily,(yes,I am blushing) but at least I am honest with myself (and others) about myself. I find it better to look for help in myself,my family,my friends than the religious crap.Timea (Euthymia)noreply@blogger.com
