When a person believes that a God is truly concerned about the well-being of life on earth, and especially of human life, the belief adorns that person with various positive psychological elements such as emotional stability, in times of distress and a highly functional moral compass. Here this belief has nothing to do with reality whatsoever, rather it serves the evolutionary purpose of self-preservation. Abhijit Naskar
About This Quote

The belief of a God who is concerned about the well-being of life on earth and human life is surely a positive belief. This belief is very useful in times of distress, when you are in pain or when you are facing some kind of loss. This belief also serves the evolutionary purpose of self-preservation. If you believed that there is a God who cares for your life, then you will be more likely to be more compassionate towards other people, to help them in times of need, to be more kind and understanding.
