I don't believe in deities because no argument or evidence presented to me in support of their existence has been convincing.
1. Biology adequately describes life and emotions without appealing to mystical invisible dieties
2. Astronomy adequately describes the formation of stars/planets/universe/etc without appealing to mystical invisible dieties
3. Geology adequately describes the evolution of the Earth, land formations, etc without appealing to mystical invisible dieties
4. Psychology describes the human psyche better than appealing to mystical invisible dieties
5. Appealing to mystical invisible dieties is an appeal to ignorance
6. There's no physical evidence for the existence of mystical invisible dieties
7. A myriad of mystical invisible dieties have been posited by emphatically superstitious societies and have been proven to be products of overly active imaginations (today's religion is tomorrow's myth) and ignorance.
8. Believing in mystical invisible dieties seems to become quite absurd when those who posit the mystical invisible dieties begin explaining why and how they exist in the face of contradictory physical evidence.
9. As scientific knowledge increases, the role of the mystical invisible dieties oddly gets pushed further and further back.
10. Mystical invisible dieties are mystical invisible dieties (ie can never be found by empirical methods)

Sure.
Just not the God of Abraham. Most of nature includes 'cause' and 'effect' so whatever caused what we have to be here, I'm all in favor of declaring that to be God.
But to think that a Creation Story (any creation story) made up by primitive people on ANY continent (whether they were Norse, Mayan or even Jewish) accounts for what we see and experience makes no sense at all. God, for me, cannot be a fifth century BC Jewish tribal patriarch like Abraham, bent on killing his son as some sort of worship ceremony.

Everytime I have had the most difficult decision to make and turned it over to God, the answer becomes most obvious immediately after ... cant explain it - just believe and trust it.

I do believe god because if he wanst here ( real) how would we be here.God knows everything and if something happens,it happens for a reason.
If anybody dont believe in God,I hope one day you will come across this question and look back and say "man,i now believe in god because this girl has a good point".and if u dont believe me,its called "reading the scripts off the BIBLE.
have a good day

We can infer the existence of a creator or creators because we seem to have been created. However we know absolutely nothing about the creator(s) because none of us have met him or her or it or them.

No! I put Gods and Devils in the same category with: Ignorance and superstitions!
