4. Sure.

I believe in me, and that's better than any anthropomorphized fairy tale "God" doing so. I am, after all, human, aren't I? My soul is as powerful as the ocean, as the forest, as this "god" of whom you speak.

Sorry. I'm beginning to think I'm a pantheist. ;)

6. That depends upon what you believe!
If one does not believe in God, then what is there (in terms of God) to believe back in them?

It also depends on what your defintiion of "God" is. I have a very loose definition, meaning that I think all faiths are basically believing in the same idea of a supreme being, but we don't all go about practicing our faiths in the same way. So, does a Buddist believe in God... well, not the same way I do, but however they frame their faith, there is soemthing they believe. Faith, by definition, isn't one-sided. So yes, whatever people put their faith in, they must feel a rewarding comfprt in that... be it God or whatever... even the Flying Speghetti Monster! :P

Anyway, I charge big bucks for my psychoanalysis... I'll be sending you my bill! :P

12. To "believe in" is to assume separation from.
God just IS, regardless of my personal belief on the matter.
