The very universe itself. People are, and have been questioning it's existence and status as a whole, if it's even remotely as it seems, for years. Before we can discern the nature of a higher power, we must first discern the nature of our own existence, and if it is truly as it seems, or if we have been deluded all this time. I don't have a reason nor excuse for why bad things happen, they just do, but I don't believe a deity should be responsible to prevent absolutely all of them. A higher power would not conform to the will and morals of mortal men, otherwise he'd be no different from us besides his massive proverbial stick to wave around as the head honcho.>There's infinitely more at play than just what happens to mortals.

Yes, because there's nothing wrong with having it present even today. Religion is not just a safety net of an after life. It typically brings moral values and a philosophy on life itself. Religion is something that's inevitable in society as a whole.But does Religion still belong in the 21st century? Isn't it passé now when we got a lot of social coverage and other means to care for our fellow man than hopes of a scripture?
