Do you believe in God, but one that you can not relate to on a personal level?

No. If you believe in something non-personal then it's not really a god.

Yes, I believe in God, and I love Him on a personal level because our love for Him is personal and His love for us is personal, I believe. You know, I so wish that He would tell us what to do, what happens to us when we die, what's in store for us and I don't understand why it's so complicated. All I do know, is that God is loving, merciful, understanding, forgiving, everything good in our life is of God. I am a Christian and feel guilty about questioning the Bible, but sometimes it just doesn't make sense. All I know is that everything good is of God. That's my take, anyway.
As far as relating to God on a personal level, well, we know when we're doing something wrong. We all know what's right and what's wrong, but, we're human, we all falter, we all sin. Frankly, it's just the human condition, which I think God understands. He's God, afterall, He understands. Bless us all.

i do believe in the non-personal aspect of god...but this does not mean that I feel the 'personal' aspect of god is false/wrong. Both are correct depending on ones spiritual inclination and tendencies.

nope. I don't see an impersonal God creating an environment well-suited for the development of personal beings.
If I weren't a Christian, I'd be a Deist, and would still see God as personal.

Yes, I usually just say I'm atheist because it's easier to explain, though not necessarily untrue.
If you remove matter, you're left with empty space. If you then remove that empty space, what is left? Nothingness, the Tao, God? Sure, they're just different titles for the same thing.
I do not consider it to be a consciousness though.

it makes a lot more sense than a personal god
if there was a personal god, the world would probably be much different. It seems to me that if there is a god, he probably doesnt involve himself much with us

I believe in a non-personal God, if you mean laws that the universe has to adhere to.

Slightly less unlikely than a personal god, still, I see no reason to postulate such an entity and no evidence of existence of said entity.

no, not really. whatever the cause for this universe and our place in it, im fairly certain, based on the evidence, that it is most likely not a supernatural entity of some sort. but in the end, does it really matter what one believes?

No, they are no longer. the theory of each and every thing is there just to unite the 4 underlying forces of the universe: Electromagnetism, Gravity, sturdy and susceptible tension into one single "unit".
