In religion, salvation is the saving of the soul from sin and its consequences. It may also be called "deliverance" or "redemption" from sin and its effects. Historically, salvation is considered to be caused either by the grace of a deity (i.e. unmerited, unearned, undeserved); by the independent choices of a free will and personal effort (i.e. earned and/or merited); or by some combination of the two. Religions often emphasize the necessity of both personal effort—for example, repentance and asceticism—and divine action (e.g. grace). You can read more about soteriology here.

I do believe there is a God. I believe bad things happen to good people because not everything in life is going to be good. I feel like the reason for suffering and evil is because one has to suffer a couple times in life so that they can learn from their mistakes. I believe in order to go to heaven you have to apologize for your sins . I believe there is an afterlife. I believe in miracles because I have had a miracle.

Yes, I do believe there is a God. I think that bad things happen to good people because life isn't perfect and unfortunately things go wrong. I believe the reasons for suffering and evil is so that people can learn from their mistakes. I believe in order to go to heaven you need to own up your mistakes and ask for forgiveness. I think there is an afterlife. I also believe that miracles do happen because I have seen them and also had some of my own.

“God created man because he was lonely but perhaps man created god because he was lonely” is a quote I heard somewhere and sums up my opinion on this. I don’t know if there’s a god, but I don't necessarily believe there isn’t one. Everyone has their own definition and rules of being good or evil, so this one also depends for me. Again, I don’t have all the answers, but I feel things just happen to people–it doesn’t require the defining of good or bad because the action or result of some things could vary from person to person. I don’t think a soul is “saved”, just simply transferred somewhere else, as energy cannot be created nor destroyed, thus the soul will likely inhabit something else. Everyone has their own beliefs and the government's purpose is to protect all the people's best interest, and they can’t do that if the church is a part of the government. This stagnates any debate that happens and overall gives an advantage to those who believe in that.

Yes i do believe in miracles.I believe bad things happen to good people because not every person is actually a good person. I think that the reason for suffering and evil is because people have to suffer a couple times in life so that they can learn from their mistakes and that way they wont ever do it again and can become good people. I do believe there is an afterlife after watching the movie coco.

Yes I believe there is a god. But i also believe that gods that people believe in can all be different to them. I think humankind id rare to find now a days, but when you do find it, it is so pure and genuine. I believe that bad things shouldnt happen to good people, but it happens to how the good people why they deserve better. I believe that there is a 50/50 chance an afterlife exists. I dont believe in miracles. I believe that things happen for a reason not because of a sudden miracle.
