What does that mean? You know God exists, but you don't trust him/her? Or are you down on religion and it hinders your faith?I was a Christian but no longer believe in it. I do believe in God though, too much wouldn't make sense otherwise. I have no other beliefs about him/it though. I choose to not believe things just because I want to.My parents were devout Christians and good parents. They took me to Church, baptized me etc but there were too many things about Christianity that didn't make sense to me. I believe there is a God, but more in the vein of Intelligent Design. I see a lot of problems with formalized religion, both past and present and question whether they do more good or cause more harm in the world.
I know God exists because there is too much evidence to discount God's existence. I don't mean to offend you or anyone of faith, I just don't understand the concept of a 'personal God'. I see a great intelligence beyond what I can conceive that created everything, but I don't understand why that entity would bother intervening in the day to day minutia of human life.
