Too many horrific things have happened that were supposedly done in the name of religion. And too much suffering exists in our world and it makes people wonder about what kind of God would allow this to happen? It took me a long time to make my own peace with all of that, but I never really lost faith. I have just always felt a sense a purpose for being here, and I could never imagine a state of not being alive.
As for God, if he exists, and I believe he does, then love towards him is a connection, it's not going to be something like how you see everything else, it's a pointer, and it needs to hold to the perfect pointer, or else, like my Deist days, will just make up God to be my stupid thoughts that have no reality or basis, and I will fabricate who he is by mere whims.
Recognizing God as oppose to creating who he is, is the greatest trial. Atheists are mostly hated, because they are unconvinced with all this made up gods, that are not worth people's time.
But the proof for God and recognizing him, it's something most humans trivialize, and instead use God for their political Agendas, for their egos, for hate, for justifying wars, etc...
It's no wonder some humans just think get rid of the big thing on top, and we can get along better!

Which part is not true? That you are in your right mind?
