1. Just in case there is a god - to me that just seems hollow
2. Out of fear of what will happen if I don't - that's not faith, that's fear and no one should worship something they're afraid of.
Sad to say, I can't bring myself to follow any religious deity. I think too much about it and I consider all the possibilites that there is a god and compare it with all the facts that state there isn't and I never come up with an answer. I've read through parts of the bible and I couldn't make out two bits of it. I won't bull**** anyone, I'm a mental wreck and I've turned to religion multiple times for any kind of peace of mind, but still nothing. I turn to psychology books to at least try to understand why I am the way I am and I find answers (or symptoms as the books put it). And even then, I still don't understand anything. There's way too much to digest and cramming religion into every nook and cranny just makes it harder because you've got something that billions of people follow, but hold no proof. I remember when I went to church as a child and I remember their methods of teaching. It was strikingly similar to brainwashing hypocrisy. If there's a god, I hope he forgives me for my transgression, but at this point in my life, it feels right to not follow religion.
Oh, and regarding that previous debate I was involved in. Yeah, I didn't actually know what you believed in dude, I was partially going as the devil's advocate. No hard feelings.
