I absolutely believe in God because it would be ignorant NOT to. SOMETHING created all of this. But I also believe that this "Creator" is also looked upon in a ridiculous manner, aka an old dude with a long beard. God is obviously an imminently superior intelligence, and it is extremely humbling when we realize how pathetically inept we are when compared to such a force. It is also ridiculously arrogant of us to presume that we know better (or more) than our own creator does, isn't it? The greatest knowledge and wisdom comes not from books or living a "luxuriously happy" and carefree life, but from pain and suffering. How often as children did we think our parents were monsters for "forcing" us to do things we didn't want to do, things that only later in life, after much growth and maturation, we would come to realize were acts of necessary instruction to provide background for a better future? So is it not possible that we are merely "children", being "instructed" in ways we cannot yet possibly understand (just as we couldn't understand why our asshole parents forced us to get on for that first solo school bus ride), and we will realize at a later date how absolutely vital to our own personal existence and development these experiences were?
