No? Neither do I. We also rationalize and explain things in the same ways. I don't need a god to do that anymore than you do. The only difference is that you believe a god exists, and I do not.
I knew a guy who framed everything relating to God's will and he was hard to be around and found it hard to live because he was constantly questioning whether things would glorify God. He had it down to the minutia of every bite of food, every scrap of clothing he wore. He was insane and roughly knew it. I had several talks with him to try to unwrinkle his thinking. the last time I saw him he was doing great, he could laugh at shit and he was joking irreverently it was good to see that he had separated himself from confined thinking.
