Yes.
That means that you want a god to exist, so you choose to believe that one does. That is intellectual dishonesty to the extreme. Here's a question for you... Why do you choose to believe that a god exists?
I don't think it's fair to call my beliefs dishonest in any way. I fully understand that my beliefs are beliefs and keep them there.
I've always liked the idea that there's something bigger than all of us, something humanity cannot hope to understand. I believe because I like the idea of god. It's a fascinating concept.

Yes.
Does this sentient god of yours interact with humanity in any way or does it have any effect on the universe?
I have a lot of ideas on the nature of god. I don't think god ever interacted with humans though.
Then why call it god?
Does god have to interact with humans to be god? If not what else do I call a powerful being that created all we know?
This is stupid
