A question of faith?!?!

The existence of God is not a miracle, it is the faith people have in god. The thing I find most surprising is the bond that connects several billions of people to nothingness. I was always curious to know the reason for the belief people have in god and finally came up with a satisfactory answer. I figured out that man is too weak to support himself throughout his life and hence needs a superior power to depend upon and put (at least partially) the blames of his misfortunes, discomfort and miseries. This superior power is required to keep his spirits up even in the bluest of days and keep him hoping for a better day. More importantly it is something/someone who he can fear, to keep him in control and stay human. Plus, this nothingness also proves to be a patient listener for his secret desires and share man’s happiness and sorrows. Man has named this non-existent, flawless entity as God and it’s the best company man can ever get. It ultimately is a way to attain peace of mind, in whichever way one finds it best. This emptiness is so wonderful that nobody questions its existence, as it is a source of support to everybody. It is an answer to every mystery unsolved.
What interests me further are the practices and customs linked with God. However pointless they might be, they make the whole concept of god look real. All the temples, mosques, churches and gurudwaras have an air of sanctity around it. All the shlokas and prayers are looked upon as divine and actually help people get tranquility. Since the whole society believes in it, the entire theory of a divinity gets so powerful that you can feel its presence everywhere and cannot ignore it. It has so strongly embedded in the society that even if you have no faith, you have to abide to certain rules that relate other people to god. Such things make life more lively and vibrant to an extent. However sometimes people tend to forget the main reason for having this spiritual way to attain peace and ironically get into petty fights over the god they worship. They overlook the meaning for god’s presence. People get obsessed with what they believe in, and disregard others beliefs. That is the only drawback in the entire concept. If people can have a broader mindset, faith in god can really work wonders and can prove to be the ultimate support to mankind.:)
