Perhaps our purpose is to leave a mark of ourselves on the minds and hearts of others so we may never die.

Debate on the value of religion is one debated even by those who do believe in a higher power. Historically speaking, religion can be seen to be the most effective cause of human unity. Regardless of the original intentions of religion, religion has fueled conquest, death, peace, safety, and belonging. Religions are a set of precedents that each culture lives by. Religions soak up the moral fiber of a culture, and is the medium through which people choose to subscribe to said religion. Human power of belief is the strongest power in the world. In one case, a native American tribe told stories of wise men getting togeather in masses, believing that they could move a mountain, and moving that mountain with their belief. Ancient stories of monsters whose existance came from the negative emotions of humans are present all over the world. I am personally inspired by the studies of qi, and how our thoughts can effect our energy. Religion's power is in its belief, and without religion, humans may have anguished under the weight of intellect.
