Not I, because of the logical incompatibility of his attributes and his lack of appeal without them:
1) All-knowing
2) All-powerful
3) All-loving
If any of these are not the case he is unworthy of worship.
They are all mutually exclusive.
If God is all-loving and all-powerful, he ought to have created the universe without evil.
If God is all knowing, he must have the knowledge of how to enjoy sin, or to derive pleasure in torturing a person to death, which contradicts his all-lovingness.
If God were all powerful, he would be able to create something that was beyond his understanding.
All powerful is contradictory with itself. (The old "taco so big not even he could eat it" problem.)
Ergo the perfect god worth worshiping can not exist.

This is a hard question. If you are refering to god as a singular omnipresent being, then no. There is no good reason to believe in god, unless you cannot accept reality and understand reality. Not surprisingly, most of the people reading this answer will fall into that category.
If you believe in god as a spiritual metaphor, then yes, I personally believe in god. I believe everything is god. You, me, the earth, the stars, the entire universe. We are all a part of the universe and never can be seperated from it. Therefore, I think the universe itself is the higher power and is not some being who even knows who I am or cares what I do.

Here's the dilemma with GOD. If I say yes, you might say "which one?" That, I do not know.
We can say the Big Bang created the planets, a pool of organic material made life, evolution occured, and so on, and theoretically it can be correct. On these subjects, I feel science trumps religion. I prefer scientific evidence than a bible any day.
But... My main conflict with science is?? Why the big bang? If the big bang occured, then what made the big bang? If you know the answer to that, then what created the event that took place before? What made the universe? Science fails to answer these questions, because deals with facts. And those facts have yet to be discovered.
I could go all day with these "why" and "what" questions, and the more I do, the closer I come to believing in a GOD. Just don't ask me which one....

I dont. We're made and created in His image, they say? Then heaven must have famine, disease, murderers, rapists, terrorists, war, crime, drugs, etc. A "good and everloving God" wouldnt let these things exist and/or happen. Would a wonderful and loving God allow children to die of lukemia? Of lupus?
And is there any proof that a God really really exists? Are there fossils like dinosaurs? Are there ancient manuscripts other than the Bible, written hundreds of years after Christ allegedly walked the earth? No, theres no God other than the intangible belief that people put into it. People pray for strength, love, luck, etc.... These qualities and characteristics are within ourselves. Look inside yourself, rather than up at the sky where "God" supposedly sits and watches.
If there is a God, he's got a hell of a sense of humor.

I don't believe in God. I just can't find a logical place for such a being in my perception of the universe.

I haven't found a good reason TO believe in God, nor have I found sufficient evidence he exists.
