That's such a fun question. Hold onto your hat-I truly believe I've been in the presence of God and He's communicated with me (religious experience, not psychosis) and I know what "He" looks like and the depth of the mystery of God. Still with me or have I spooked you out? So to the question, "do you believe in God"-my answer is, "sure, I met Him". But the God I met was nothing like a Christian/Jewish/Islamic God-he was the Creator, totally unjudgmental and uninterested in intervening in the lives of his creatures. Here's the fun part: if I tell someone about the God I met, they'd probably decide I didn't believe in God because "He" was nothing like what they considered God.
