SUPERnatural

Yay for the next topic! Religion and the supernatural! This is my favorite topic!

Anyways...

I personally feel that religion is the construction of our minds. This is not to say that I do not believe in God. I do, but sometimes I wonder if it is just because I am insecure about how else anything was created. Professor Johnson said in Art and Philosophy the other day that we put gods in the places where science can't explain things. I find that this is true.

There are plenty of people who create their entire lives (their realities) around religion. Everything that they see they see with the lens of their religion. They see nothing that does not have to do with their religion, things like science are not real to them.
