Religion is something people rely on. Christianity, Catholic, Muslim, Jewish etc.

Yet i can feel uncomfortable when people question it, Angry at times. So do many others. I can feel uncomfortable about answers some questions like
"Why do people bask in wealth, while others die?" I can answer truthfully that i have many answers for that like
1) Maybe God controls everything doesnt mean he controls it all the time. Then were puppets.
2) Maybe God doesnt want them live. Plain and simple.
3) Maybe in a past life they were bad. and God reincarnated them into a future that will kill them.

Logic can play a part in questions alot. Because to me that made sense.
Now why do people seem to feel uncomfortable about questioning some things. If you believe in______ then you should feel free to wonder, ask, think. You believe in ______ and (he,she,it, none) knows that. Your human, you think about the weirdest things,

Why do people seem relunctant to question and ask?
Also what some questions you wondered about your religion or lack of therefore?

The main reason I think that people refuse to question their beliefs and actually take the time to study them in-depth is because they are afraid of the answers they might find. Like I've said; if you want to become an Atheist read the bible with a critical and logical basis and you'll see all the problems with that specific belief. Its just like studying evolution or Big Bang cosmology. The more people know about what actually happens, the less they tend to give a supernatural super-dude the credit for a naturally occuring process.

The first step to rationality is to not only question religion/supernatural claims, but to also find the ANSWERS.
