I believe in a 'force' rather then a god with a face (or no face, but apparently he created us to his own image, so he has a face) that can speak and does stuff while having it thought over wisely. Just like every animal alive has an instinct, I believe that there is some sort of natural force in the universe that tries to guide this planet and the surrounding universe, maybe the entire universe, the right ways. A force which we couldn't even begin to understand so don't ask questions about it, I can't answer them anyway, and so can't anyone else around here.
There is a lot in the universe, physicaly but also spiritualy, which we just can't comprehend. And sometimes I think that religious people just have the uncontrolable urge to be able to explain EVERYTHING that happens around them. God is the perfect tool for that because even if something happens which you can't directly tie to anything around you, you can always say: Hey, must have been god!
And thats also the reason I have more respect to people who can just say: You know, maybe I don't understand it. But thats okay, I'm only human. You can't expect me to know everything.
And even those people don't automaticaly have to be non-religious. Even religious people can think that way, as not all religious people actualy believe in god (though... please someone explain to me how that works, because I know a few people who are like that, and I don't get it...).
It's just a matter of having an open mind, which apparently not a lot of religious people have.
