Not AI Generated. Human Generated (through life experience)
When I was a child, I used to argue a lot with my mom, who is very religious, about the non-existence of God. I would emphasize that science is what makes the world run and that belief in God is unnecessary.
Fast forward to 2026. Here I am, having crossed 30 years of age (well, the incident happened a couple of years ago 🙂), becoming more spiritual (religious) and literally begging God to save me from my problems.
Now I understand why religions exist and why people flock to worship.
Why Belief Starts Making Sense After 30
I feel it is very difficult to live—especially in today’s social media age where we constantly compare our lives with others—without believing in God (be it any religion).
When the problems of life come in many forms be it from ageing parents, new kids and wife, office ( ever demanding work), as a man/woman entering his/her 30`s , there is no solace for him/her , except to stick to their belief on God.
About Atheists
There are people who are non-believers even in their 30s, 40s, and 60s.
Huge salute to them.
It genuinely takes strength to live without any spiritual anchor, without any belief system to fall back on during difficult times.
My Realization
In short, I would like to re-quote something a famous director once said in an interview:
“Atheists are very strong-minded people to live without any support. Frankly, I am not that strong — hence, I am a theist.”
I think, the above line, gives me the final answer , I was searching for.
