Today we talked about the unnatural and supernatural. The basest of supernatural knowledge is the religious texts that full the basest of our knowledge on the things that we can't see or explain. Our belief in the supernatural is the belief that we are getting things right compared to what the religious text tells us. Our tradition makes us believe things like what color a wedding dress should be or what we should eat for Thanksgiving, but what makes us think that way? Is it the fear of the unknown, of how things would work if we didn't have these set "guidelines" that everyone around us seams to live by? Naturalist believe based on observation, so that we act and believe based on what we see in our everyday lives and that there is always an explanation. But when it comes to religious things like faith, we are believing because we choose to believe, not because there is any concrete evidence that there is something to believe in.
