I believe that I am agnostic because I donÆt know what to think about religion. When it
             comes to saying whether I believe in God or not, I feel that I have not yet come to a complete
             understanding of GodÆs existence. This tends to be a vicious cycle which constantly runs through
             my head. Ever since I can remember, I was taught through my family and church that this being
             does exist, but as I grew older I began to question whether this almighty being really does exist.
             How can I believe that this being exists when every day I watch the news and hear of all the
             tragedy that is happening in the world.
             I have been taught through my family and church that God is the creator and supreme
             ruler of the universe. They also taught me that he has set up certain guidelines or rules for which
             we must obey. These are commonly known as the ten commandments. We have been told that
             if we disobey these commandments , we will ultimately go to hell. Furthermore, if we follow these
             commandments, we will go to heaven and live in peace eternally. We all basically have the same
             perception of what Heaven and Hell are like. Heaven is commonly thought of as a utopia. A
             place which is soft, beautiful and peaceful. Where there is total peace and harmony. Where as
             Hell is known as being a prison for evil doers. Hell is supposed to be a dark, hot, and gloomy
             place with much misery. A persons worst nightmare. As I have gotten older, I donÆt necessarily
             believe that God created these commandments or in these places. I do believe that they are still a
             good set of standards and values for everyone to live by.
             If we as individuals pray and hold God to be the almighty, How can we make sense of all
             of the bloodshed, disease, evil and hatred in this world which we live. If God creates, why would
             he create murderers, thieves, and rapist? How do we except all human beings dying
