I would say passion, not compulsion.

No, my belief comes from experience. Now the Bible says all who seek will find, but I never believed because I like things I can see. But after my wife started going to church I was told that I had a whole heap of people praying for me, inside I was laughing at them. But then one time they started praying & I have never felt anything like it, I could not stay in the same room as them, I couldn't breath. After that I said I would look into it but there had to be a reasonable explaination for it all. I looked & have found God, my life is better than it was. And while I haven't had such an experience again, I have felt Gods presence occasionally.
I believe we all know deep in our hearts God is real, but because of freewill we have a choice. And our christian examples are not always good to others. I believe we all have enough insight to make our decision, & God will not force us into his presence. (At least not till we are judged) But for me it has never been about Heaven & Hell, I want the truth & I have found it in Jesus.
Freewill, would we want it any other way. Or could a God that loves us do things any other way. I think not.
I am truely sorry if you don't agree, but this is my opinion, my belief.

I feel a compulsion to believe in *something*. My experiences and logic have told me that a supreme being likely isn't the right thing. So I just keep travelling and seeing what's out there...

Very much so..and i do believe in God very much. I was raised in a very religious home and went to church with my family every week and had prayer at home. It was always a big part of my life.

No, in terms of my spirituality, a God(s) is the last thing I need, especially those of most organized religions.

Nope, in fact, for me it's the opposite.
