As I read each of the posts here I feel a little sad. Not sad in some religious nut sense to where I am worried about your collective immortal souls- just sad because I don't know how to explain the way I feel about God.
I don't worry about the universe and how it was made. I never even consider it because it doesn't affect me. What I do think about is the life before me and how to make it better.
I think we could all agree that positive thinking is a plus in anyone's life. Well, that's what I believe. The Bible was written too long ago to be taken literally at every turn. Rather than look at it like a book of laws, I look to it for guidance when my own moral code fails me.
As to God, sneer if you like but I cannot deny that I have faith. I can't claim to understand God, prove that He exists or explain how I feel, but I am okay with that. I am also fine with people thinking less of me because I believe- I'm used to it.
