The notion doesn't scare me, but it doesn't inspire me either. I think for people to believe or have faith in a deity, they need to be inspired by the deity.

I guess I draw inspiration from abstract concepts that I <B>don't</B> call "God", and also from people, who aren't all bad all the time

One problem I have with the idea of a God is that some people use it as an excuse ("we can't change it for the better, it's God's will", and that sort of thing).
