My Post-Secret

Following a recent trend I've noticed about a program (if one could really call it that) named Post-Secret, I have decided to reveal something about myself. I tried to think of a meaningful secret. Something relatable to other's lives and hopefully one that has not been mentioned too often yet (I do enjoy trying to be unique). 

So here is my secret: 

All my life, I have generally considered any religious person's to be one of two things. Liars, or severely misguided. 

I want a miracle. I want to be shown the way. I want to be one of those misguided people, because I want that comfort of just knowing. 

Having said that, I'd like to prepose a (mostly) rhetorical question. Why do humans feel the need to be certain about things?

I know it is a comforting feeling, to know for certain, to know exactly what is going to happen, why and where and how and the effect of the cause the the reaction to the action and the place your soul will go when you die and whether or not you even have a soul, but why? Why do we need to be comforted? Why do we need to be loved? It certainly isn't for reasons of reproduction, a creature does not need to love in order to reproduce. So why do we need this? 

If there happen to be any experts browsing the thousands of miles of cyber-space who fall upon this page, I need some answers. I just don't know.
