Chen He’s family has been Christian since his grandfather’s generation. When he was a child, he went to church with his parents every weekend. As he grew older and learned more, however, he went to church less and less. He felt that Christianity, Buddhism, and other orthodox religions all ultimately sought to cultivate the heart. As for whether God or Buddha truly exists, as many people say, they exist if you believe in them. But objectively speaking, who can give an irrefutable answer?
But now, Chen He is lying face down on the ground, praying over and over in his heart: “Father, save me! Please forgive my sins!” At last, he understands why religions, faith, and gods have existed ever since humanity began, even in this scientifically advanced age. In the face of the unknown and of death, faith is humanity’s final comfort and refuge!
