No, I don't. Simply because I do not believe an omnipotent and omnipresent being is possible, according to the laws of physics. I also have no time for a being that would send someone to "hell" for not believing, but otherwise live their life as a good person trying to better themselves and others. There are many other things I find objectionable about the "rules". It simply does not equate with the "loving" god people claim exists.
The Bible, Quran, Torah etc are stories and fables, which hold some nice ideas, but are ultimately flawed as they were written by man. Did Jesus exist? Yes, possibly... but if he thought he was the son of god I fear for his sanity.
When people say that the universe cannot have begun on its own and SOMETHING must have started it... I question how that "something" came into being. I am often told "God has always been there". I find that puzzling and illogical.
I do believe there are questions we do not have the answers for... and answers we do not have the questions for. But I don't believe there's a bearded man in the sky deciding if I'm being a good girl or not.
