My views on God have nothing to do with me feeling comfortable. Seems to me the "comfortable" position is that there is no God. No God = no wrong, no responsibility to anyone or anything, anything goes = I can do anything I want to anything or anyone and be at peace (comfortable) about it (just don't get caught so as to suffer societal consequences). All of that is easy to do.
I don't need to feel beholden to some nebulous deity that watches my every move in order to be a good person. I am a good person (though I can be a dick at times like anyone else) because it feels right, because being and doing evil is a concept that is alien to me. If all that stops you from doing bad shit is the fear of getting caught by Captain Cloud, you need to take a long, hard look at yourself.
