I’m starting to think that life is simply meant to present problems to people. The point of existence is to see how people handle these problems, and through their reactions, people will ultimately be judged in the afterlife.

Very similar to the “life is a boot camp,” philosophy.” It is completely impossible for any individual to be infallible, and have absolutely no sin upon oneself. If someone has ever thought of an ill act, then they have sinned. Let alone the amount of people who have lied, purposefully, in their lifetime. It’s almost instinctual for humans to hide something about themselves, or about what they think of someone. Nobody is perfect.

People can only be led by what they believe is right. Scripture, instincts, the example left by historical figures, the words of philosophers, and even faith in science are all possibilities for someone to bequeath their faith. I’ve come to a belief that it doesn’t particularly matter what faith it is that you find yourself in, as long as you believe in it, and are not just faking it for the sake of society. If there is nothing that you have faith in, then follow your heart and your instincts. If you are going to do something and it feels wrong, then it probably is. Basically, if you don’t have faith in anything else, then find faith in yourself and let that deliver you to your redemption.
