Prompt 169."What can you learn from other religions?"
What I have observed from other religions is that people have a tendency to try to use religion to explain what they do not know and that people also tend to think that there is some sort of higher power. It makes sense that when people do not know things their imagination would wander and create explanations. In ancient times there much less knowledge of the sciences and religion seemed much more logical. Even today some people still believe the world was created only a couple thousands of years ago because to them it makes sense.
Most all religions believe that there is a supernatural higher power that governs the world. Some of the time an afterlife will accompany this god or deities. I think it's because we all want some sort of justice for our actions and justice may not always come in life so people hope it does in death. With a god watching them their actions can be justified by something more than just human. Personally I am Christian but I don't know to an extent if my belief is based on faith or a fear of inevitable death.
