Critical Thinking Eta_D5 and D6

Growing up, I believed that God was a guiding force who rewarded good deeds and punished wrong ones. Over time, I began to question why suffering exists if God is loving and just. These doubts made me realize that faith is not about having all the answers but about finding meaning in the journey.

Today, I see religion as a way to connect with values like kindness, empathy, and peace rather than just rituals. Many people still struggle with differences in belief, trying to prove whose faith is “right.” I feel we can find common ground by focusing on shared morals—love, respect, and humanity—rather than divisions in doctrine.
