For me believing in God keeps me fundamentally stable in that I "know" that there is always Someone with my best interest at heart. It's not much, I guess, but I can't imagine existing without even that.
Dont you think it is a little narcissitic to believe that a supreme being with dominion over all has your best interests at heart?

I find orginized religion to be misguided, but the faith that mankind has and what comes from it are wonderus to behold. Faith in each other, faith in the country in which they live ect ect. Faith is one of our redeeming qualities.


Hope
