You have to Believe it To see It!

be⋅lieve 
 /bɪˈliv/ [bi-leev] , -lieved, -liev⋅ing.
–verb (used without object)
1.
to have confidence in the truth, the existence, or the reliability of something, although without absolute proof that one is right in doing so: Only if one believes in something can one act purposefully.

"The confidence in the truth -without proof" Did you confidently believe that Christmas morning Santa Clause would bring you presents? Did you confidently believe that an actually fair took your tooth in the night and left money? "Santa" did bring your presents and the "Tooth Fairy" did leave money did they not? Make believe yes but does that mean that when you have children are you not going to carry on the Santa Clause tradition? Just because there is no science behind a fat man in a sleigh that delivers presents all over the world in one night doesn't mean you won't wake up early on Christmas when you were 6 to open that new red bike. Its the idea the magic behind it all. Now religion that is a touchy subject, we haven't personally seen God but there is still church on Sundays - people still go and practice their faith why? because they believe. They believe the stories that are told in the bible and they believe in the acts of God. And they aren't wrong in anyway, why shouldn't they believe? Why is believing in God different then believing in Santa? Sure you grow out of Santa after the 12th kid in your grade 8 class tells your that he isn't real and you get the nerve to ask your parents but that doesn't mean in your heart he isn't real. God is real if you believe, why look for more than your own faith. Why challenge your thoughts? Sure if you want more you want proof you strive for that fact of knowledge, yes he lived? or no he didn't? Personally I believe in god, that opinion won't change even after the 100th article i read on how he isn't real. To me he is real, even though i haven't seen him. But i haven't seen a Easter Bunny either.
