# data[].attributes.body
I would choose to replace the word "dependence" with the word "companionship" because I think that God is a way to feel comforted when you are alone and to always feel like you have a friend who is there to listen to and support you.

7B.  Do you agree or disagree with this quote.  Explain your experience/point of view.   

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that when the first people started to form religion, the center of their desires in forming these beliefs were to feel like there was some sort of higher power supporting them, and that they were depending on this being to keep them safe. However, I think that you should not place "absolute dependence" in any being, even God because I know from personal experience with a lot of people that if you place this amount of dependence on God, and then something bad happens in your life, people often loose faith.

I imagine a big source of light, and stretching from that light is a giant pair on hands. I imagine that these hands shaped the world out of clay like an artist would sculpt a masterpiece. I image the source of light because I believe that God is incomprehensible but above all good.
