You want answers that you are content with. 

I want answers that are true, or likely to be true. Even if they are uncomfortable. 

Discontent sometimes makes you dig deeper for the truth. 
As I understand it, your belief means that there is an all-encompassing force which pervades the universe and keeps the plates spinning, rather than a fat old man sitting on a cloud eternally battling haemorrhoids, am I correct? Please correct me if I've got it wrong.
Still, I have a question. Why do you feel there has to be an intelligence driving the universe? Why can it not just be a result of natural processes acting out as a result of entropy?
