Believing Like MJ

what is believing anyway? I mean, is it really what its cracked up to be?
Im not sure about you guys but when i want an answer to something I generally ask a question. They help a lot.

-Question one) why should you believe in something?
is it is because it gives us a deep sense of belonging? because we can come together in our belief (like Santa and the easter bunny etc)? or is it because we need (a religion to help us) to formalize our panic about death. "quick! death is coming! put on the gold hat and sing songs about dead people!"... well some of this is true and some, not so much. but personally i like to believe in stuff because its true and kinda mandatory for... well, everything! like i believe in cars coz they are really there and thats why there has been no need to scrape me off the road (yet). this works for me, this believing in cars thing.

-Question two) what is true?
don't you hate them stupid true and false question on tests! they just bug me. never the less truth is generally needed for people to understand things. Example of true and untrue things: Unicorns= Not real, people= Real, Michele Jackson= em, not sure! The way we find out truth is when we check it out and try to understand through our own research.

in faith our own research is reading the bible and stuff. people can tell us stuff too, but sometimes we just don't want to listen coz we think it won't help us. like when the waiter puts a plate down on the table and says "careful not to touch it, its very hot." when he leaves i always touch it to see how hot it is... and i burn the hand off me usually.

Look for truth, all you can do is gain, you can't lose a thing, but if you don't look you can lose the world.

"what good is it if a man gains the whole world, yet loses his soul?"
