What do you mean by 'Belief'?

Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Most of our beliefs are based on misinterpretation of past experiences, or other people’s views. In fact, most of us do not consciously decide what we are going to believe. Most people treat a belief as a thing, whereas it should be considered more as a ‘feeling of certainty’.

Our whole concept of God is based upon belief. It can be said that we have a ‘feeling of certainty’ that God exists. This ‘feeling of certainty’ must solely depend upon the writings of certain historical figures such as Roman historians or Jesus’ disciples. But can we be certain that these writing’s are factual or even predominately true. In 2000 years time, what will be written about the 20th Century? How much will be true and how much will be misinterpreted? The only true belief is in yourself.
