The Role of God and Religion“A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O’Connor” and “A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings by Gabriel Garcia Marquez” also the film of Life of Pi those are some stories discovering the important of the role of god and the role of religion in our lives. The stories above are an examples of how people deals with the bad things that happening to them daily and how they use the role of god in those situations, also how they use the religion to solve their problems.        Today our society has many deferent religions, each person have his own believes and religion and practices. Even those religions are deferent but on the same time they agree on one god . It is true that some religions are not believing god, but in general most of the religions believing one god. From does believes we start asking questions, how god can help us? What is? the role of god in our lives? God can help us every day anywhere this is what our believe about god, also people ask god to help them no matter what is the situation. This is what we learned since we were kids, god is the only one can help us. But sometimes even we ask god to help us we don’t get any help, then we start thinking, is god don’t want to help us?

Maybe the god vision is to send her to the heaven, so god would never hurt us or make something happen without purpose.        The role of god is very important in our lives, especially when all people knows that god watching us and judging our actions. The believe of god is watching us is a good reason for people to eliminate some bad ethical that people have, also this believe give us the opportunity to behave well in our society. The role of god in our lives answers all the question that we are holding and asking everyday about so many things in the natural world and all the things that’s been created in the world before this era , on the story “a very old men with enormous wings” shows us an example of people whom doesn’t apply the role of god to understand what happening in the natural world , when “pelayo and elisendra called in a neighbor woman who knew everything about life and death to see him, and all she needed was one look to show them their mistake. He’s an angel, he must have been coming for the child” people doesn’t have enough information or background to recognize what they are facing.        In our social life people are always depending on the role of god and their religions to solve their problems. Most of the religions have a bunch of rules and red lines people cannot cross them, also people trying to practice their religion and use it to solve the daily problems or
