How Can I Believe In You?

I don't know why I believe in God: convenience, comfort, because I have nothing better do do or because I really believe in an omnipresent being who watches over us. Though I do not regularly attend church, like the faithful Catholic I was raised to be, I pray before bed, I say an Our Father when I see a soldier at the airport or hear sirens. I think it's for a sense of comfort, a feeling that I make a difference. But I believe in God, Jesus, heaven & hell, though I don't think anyone goes to the latter. Everyone has some good in them - they believe that what they are doing is right.

Though I have to agree with the song How Can I Believe In You by the Good Natured. "I once knew a man, he drew a picture of a million faces and all of them were sad... Fight until the children cry, babies wet and aging die - now look what you've done. When I look at this view, how can I believe in you?"* I mean, with the world how it is, it's hard to hold onto my faith. But it's not like it helps to not believe. It passes the time, it makes me feel safe.

By the way, sorry for all the non-religious people out there who are bored by this (those who read it, anyway, the few that are out there). 

I don't know, but I have to hope there's an after life. 

I think that we are reincarnated till we've had enough of life and learned our lessons, then we go to heaven.

I hope so. I hope there's someone out there, because otherwise, things aren't looking good for us.
