Belief, what is it? Probable knowledge, confidence in another's veracity, and acceptance of something as true or actual all turn up in my dictionary. To sum it up, the word implies a lack of fact and a lot of assumption. Why then do we humans fight over our assumptions? Why do we kill in the name of an assumption? Now, I am not solely speaking about today's dominant religions. Atheists, Agnostics, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists…(and on and on) have all had their claim over the "truth". And while some are less violent than others, there is still a possessive quality inherent within the notion of "my belief", as if somehow your belief holds more truth than someone else' belief. The truth is no one knows what will ultimately happen when we die. We can assume and believe all we want. We can gather supporting data and statistics for years. However, we will know what happens only when we experience death. And even then, will we truly know what is happening?

So, I guess my question is: Why fight over it?
