There is so much to learn about life; about nature, history, medicine, success and failure, and about religion. Religion is not subject to the same scrutiny as the other subjects because it is meant to add beauty to our lives and help us to find peace within ourselves and create a better world starting where we live and helping when we can those whose lives are full of injustice, pain and suffering. Only when we leave the security defined as reason can we then be open to a powerful transcendence.
Most of us will suffer during our lifetime at some time or another. We may feel unjustly treated and that the burdens we bear are just too heavy.
Religious faith is being challenged by science but I believe it can never replace our need for inspiration, hope and unconditional love.
