Caleb Harrington Ms. Knight English 5th Hr 30 September 2019 This I Believe Essay Is having different beliefs controversial? I think that beliefs are one of the most controversial topics there are. It shouldn't be that way everyone should be able to have their own opinion/beliefs and not be judged for it. Everybody is different and they all have different mindsets. My three beliefs are that miracles aren't real, and that there is more than one god/goddess, and that everything happens for a reason there are no accidents. I believe that miracles are not real. I believe this because I don't think that it's possible for something amazing to just happen with no build-up to it. I believe that you earn everything that happens to you somehow and I don't accept money or anything like that when I don't do anything to earn it. Science proves that miracles aren't real and I believe science over religion. “Religion believes in miracles, but these aren’t compatible with science”(Hawking "Stephen Hawking Quote"). This example shows that science proves that miracles aren't real. This is my first belief and I 100% believe this is true. I believe that there is more than one god/goddess. I believe this because I don't just think that Jesus is our only god and I don't only pray to Jesus I pray to way more than one god. When I was younger I went to church every Sunday and prayed to Jesus. But as I got older I learned that there are thousands of gods, not just one. My mom helped show that to me and it changed my life. “It does me no harm for my neighbor to believe in many gods or no god. It neither robs my pocket nor breaks my leg”(QuotesAboutXYZ "Thomas Jefferson Quotation Id:632" 2019). This example shows how even Thomas Jefferson didn't care if anyone believes in many gods or no god because it didn't affect him in any way. This is my second belief and I strongly believe this. I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe this because I don't think things just happen randomly I believe that there is a plan for everybody and everything in there life happens for a reason. Every time I get upset and don't know what I did to deserve whatever happened I remember that everything happens for a reason and that everything will work out how it's supposed to no matter what. “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together”("A quote by Marilyn Monroe"). This example shows that everything happens for a reason and that things fall apart so better things can come together. This is my last belief and I will always believe this. I believe three main things in life and they are that everything happens for a reason, that miracles aren't real, and that there is more than one god/goddess. Any time I get upset or someone close to me does I will tell them or myself that everything will be ok and everything happens for a reason. And every day I think of the gods and what they would do before I decide to do something. I will always believe these three things and they are very important in my life. I think of all of these beliefs every single day.
