Why are we religious?

Answer

On the one hand, there is resistance in every person against his transience and his longing for ‘lasting’, read ‘eternal’ existence. On the other hand, man asks himself the question of his origin and that of his destination: ‘where do I come from and where am I going?’ Those are two elements that lead man to some form of ‘creation belief’ that recognizes a Supreme Being whom believers call God. Added to this – for those who are once believers – is the ‘revelation faith’ as ​​it was brought by Jesus.
