How did you find him? I grew up in Christianity, and was indoctrinated to believe that the God of the Bible was 'thee one and only god.' How does one know what to honestly believe?
I'm sincerely asking you this.

I was taught a specific religion from birth and I eventually found an absence of god which is how I became an atheist. Where do you find god? Have you found him/her? How do you know it's god?
This is so eery, we were typing pretty much the same line of thought at the same time.
For what morality God has, I think that is simply how we get our own moral sense.
As to how to sense God, it's reflection of a spiritual sense you have of him as well as the nature of your own being with relationship to the eternal source. I think this how I found him. What I mean by spiritual sense is not simply having an idea of him but actually sensing his existence and in a way knowing his existence and the nature of his existence. How much you realize you are acquainted with the nature of his existence and majesty and glory and beauty, is the level of faith.
