My Personal Belief Since the beginning of time, people from different races, ethnic backgrounds, etc. have believed in a higher being. These beliefs range from worshiping sun gods, statues, and human leaders, to worshiping what the Christian religion calls God. As far back as I can remember , I was raised in a Christian household. My family and I have always been very active in our local Baptist Church. My father has always been a respected leader in the church, as well as a dedicated deacon. Therefore, I strongly believe in the Christian religion. I feel that my belief in God helps me to understand the purpose of our existence.
