| He is their so called 'Jesus' |
Do you believe that divine being created
and control humankind? This has brought and will bring a lot of controversies.
However, my answer is no. I believe gods are just thing we made in order to
understand misunderstand. (I guess my roommate will kill me just for saying
this blasphemy)
Still, I believe comforting effect of
religion do exist. When unfortunate things happen to one, they can get comfort
just by praying. And this made my assumption that divine thing is manmade much
clearer as by praying they understand misunderstands.

| Where believes is there can be comfort |
Recently, I have seen documentary film that
made my belief even harder. ‘Jesus of Siberia’ is the film. We travel to a
village with elfish features hidden in the middle of a forest of Siberia. There
live few hundreds of people who believe that ‘Jesus’ is here right beside them.
Most of us would snort laughter at them actually believing that ‘Jesus’ resurrected
but it was true to them. The villager seems to be very offended when the
reporter asked whether she really ‘believes’ in that so called ‘Jesus’ and she
even showed a little tear. According to them, they should follow the way that
the so called ‘Jesus’ advised. Some of the ways were really sexually biased.
However, no one objected to that idea. On the other hand, they were really
happy and living in harmony. It seems to be that there are no problems of
modern society such as human alienation and robbery.
I thought whether ‘Jesus’ is true or just a
fraud they choose to believe so they now could understand misunderstand. When
we expand this case, it has similarities with current religions. People chose
to believe then it became true. Then, I thought if I can that kind of comfort
and understanding from religion, it would be not bad choice to have a religion.
