Notes:

Important: I'm really sorry about this, but I accidentally clicked the wrong thing and deleted the submission post from last week instead of saving it. Managed to save the first page (25) of secrets, but the rest (a bit over 100) are gone.

If you submitted something last week (Aug 26-Sept 1), please resubmit it here and it will still go up this week.

The submissions post for next week is linked below as usual.

And what would cause someone to not accept the "truths" of contemporary science? In your comment, you stated that the ONLY reason people believed was because they were curious about the world. Well, now we know more, yet people still are drawn to the spiritual. Community can be one reason, and another important reason is the spiritual fulfillment it gives. If you feel like you have a genuine relationship with a higher power, then your life is transformed. This can obviously be a really good thing or a really bad thing. The search for the big life questions that everyone has leads many to God. Every person asks certain questions in their lives, and what they conclude will lead to a belief or disbelief of a higher power. Each person is different, so yes, I do believe some are naturally inclined (or "wired") to seek out God.

I am a bit perplexed by your suggestion that it is "easier" to believe in a higher power than to doubt or accept other beliefs that have a more solid basis. In my experience, every person of faith I have ever met in my life has had period of doubts. We are all humans, and to question is in our nature. Some end up rejecting God, while others end up going back to or accepting Him. To believe with the absence of proof is the very definition of faith, and to do something like that is generally not easy. It's not "comfortable" to believe in things that are generally perceived as having very little scientific evidence.
