If the feeling of God encourages you to be a loving, tolerant person then I have no problem with hanging on to the belief.  On the other hand, if it gives you the right to impose your beliefs on others with fantastic dogma, I would say cut the chord.

Quote from: "Arthur Dent"
Quote from: "Wechtlein Uns"Arthur, it's your life and your beliefs. I'm not going to try to keep you atheist, and I'm not going to try to influence your beliefs. Just know this: Truth does not have anything to do with feelings. Often, we use our feelings as a guid towards what we should believe in. That's human nature, but if you absolutely want to believe in the truth, I'd be very skeptical of any feelings I might have, towards any subject.

Of course, if you want to believe something else, you can, if you want. It's your life, dude, go for it.  :blush:
