Why do you actually believe in God?

[LivingNumbers6.626]

Personally, god for me god was an anthropomorphic deity resembling the image of man. Why did I believe? Well I was born into it. I knew nothing else contrary till 9th grade biology and freshman college year biology. Why did I struggle to stay in? Because I wanted social acceptance as a faithful man who was devote...look the part you know? A little was pressure from family to stay in and obey. Then a little was hope that god would heal me from my troubles and help me become successful. Why did I think about going back? Basically for all the same reasons... until I figured it was all a real lie, that I was caving into internal and outward pressures, and that I was lying to myself. Oh, so goes the joys of leaving the mormon church and being confused.
