Because that's what my religion teaches, and some things you just gotta believe without evidence - hence the term 'faith'.

I believe in the messiah.
However those who wait for one, wait in vain, for the messiah is here already. You cannot see him/her, or if you can, you do not know that it is the messiah.
Yet I believe in the messiah.
People ask, "Where is the messiah?" They wait for an answer from the heavens. They believe that a supernatural power will send them a supernatural human being who will bring them supernatural salvation. People wait, people die waiting, but they don't realize that the messiah is somewhere very near them.
I am not religious, yet I do believe in the messiah. The messiah who was with us since the beginning of humanity. The messiah who waits with humanity for a messiah. The messiah who lies dormant, waiting for a miracle while the miracle is within grasp.
So who is the messiah?

Yeah. What I believe is that whether or not a Messiah exists is irrelevent to the responsibility humans have to look after ourselves and solve our own problems.
