I'm sorry about bumping an old blog entry, but there are times in people's lives when simply clinging to one's own attributes is simply not enough. Deep despair, great loss, smothering fear, or unbearable pain are just a few of the reasons why people feel the need to put their fate in the hands of a higher being. There are lesser -- and greater -- reasons, but I would try to encourage you to not be too judgmental of those of faith.
