Emotionally I believe in God. I cannot help fearing his wrath and sometimes talking to him. However, I consider this to be a neurosis caused by my religious upbringing. Rationally it doesn't seem very likely to me that God exists. Also, if you read a lot of the stuff in scripture that isn't what the Godbotherers point you to, it really isn't very nice. Since religion has a large effect on how people live or try to live their lives, I don't follow these. And I can't be bothered to research into other religions because all religions seem a bit silly.
