In that belief, I do believe in traits like love and wisdom. Besides, without a good will intention, there doesn't really seem like to be a reason for the creation of the universe.

Then you are trying to make a philosophical argument for God. Why must there be a good will intention behind the creation of the universe? Why must there be any sort of intention anyway?

As a twelve-year-old boy, losing my faith was fearful. But once I realized that it was gone, the liberation was beautiful. I spent a few more years wasndering the irrational terrain of various systems of woo until I realized that they were all full of shit, but the first and best step was the willingness to confront my fears and acknowledge my skepticism.
