I believe in God. I don't know why. I just do.
For me, if there's no good, there's no point. The 60, 70, 80 years that most of us will be on this rock for are absolutely insignificant in th grand scheme of things. Why even bother if there's nothing. Why not just shoot yourself now and get it over with. What's the point of living a forfilling life is you can't even look back at it and be happy with what you've achieved?
I wouldn't say i'm Christian. I share similar beliefs to christians about the way you should treat your fellow man, and all that. But i don't see the bible, or any other religious text for that matter, as the word of god.
Either way, it doesn't effect the way i live. I treat people the way i treat them because i believe it's the right thing to do. Regardless, i'm happy with my life and where it's going, and god or no god, i'm going to enjoy whatever time i have left.

I just wanted to add a little more to my original post.
Basically, if i'm doing something, the thought of whether or not it is okay by the lord does not cross my mind. I don't not do something because i fear god's wrath, or any such nonsense. If i don't do something, it's to do with my personal beliefs and conscience.
I think it would be a shitty way to live if you were to consult the big cheese via prayer every time you wiped your ass.
