I fail to see how someone can believe in something such as a religion without any evidence of it being real when nowadays no one believes anything without seeing proof. I don't know if this goes for a majority of religious people or not, but I have a friend that is strongly Catholic, and he strongly believes in his religion, when other things that come up daily or a story that is more realistic than the tales of some religion he WILL NOT believe. Maybe I am way off with my question or you may not understand it. How do people believe in something that they have no proof of existing?
