For me personally, I have struggled with my belief in God for a long time. I want to say I believe in him, but really cant commit 100% ya know? But I hold everything Christianity stands for very close to me. Brotherhood, community, the moral philosophy and such.
My belief, or way I look at things, kind of ties Christianity and Existentialism. We all face the same nameless foe in this world. Christians called it sin, or satan. Existentialists called it the absurd. And society calls it The Man. We are all constantly fighting against this evil, however we call it. If we run from it, it wont change anything, because we cannot run from it. We cannot just busy ourselves to the point where we convince ourselves it doesnt exist, because it still will.
Only by facing this thing head on, together, with a common purpose can we really have any chance of fighting it, by staying unified with a sort of Christian brotherhood. We can never truely win against it because it is eternal, but by keeping others close to us with the mindset that we all struggle, and to always help those in need out love, is sort of the way I approach life.
I sustain serenity, peace, and hope by reminding myself that we are in this together, and so in that respect I am never truly alone. I have hope whenever I can make someone smile, and I maintain peace by relying on the love of others.
