People Need To Believe In Themselves
People need to believe in their own strength. We get by on our own perseverance, our own strife, but no one wants to believe it. We all want to put the credit of our struggles on some magical sky daddy of whatever religion. Is it so hard to believe that you can do things on your own? If you cant believe in yourself, then what is the point in believing in anything? We've all bled, cried, and felt sorrow, but when we pull through it....most of us cant believe it was ourselves that got us through. Why?

I agree. How can one live out the I ching of: "KNOW THYSELF", if one does not first believe in their own worthwhileness?

I believe that people need to believe in themselves because the human race can come over extraordinary obstacles, but you may be going a bit too far in denying that God (or whatever god[s] you believe in) is not helping to pull you through it. We can't do EVERYTHING by ourselves. But hey, if you don't believe, than I can see your point.
