Why would you need a giant parent figure named god to justify your existence to? Can you not live, impact, function without the constant notion that your actions are pleasing someone else - someone nobody has ever seen and there is little to no evidence of? Because that's what you are doing.

I didn't say we as human beings couldn't function without a belief in a higher power. Of course we all could do so...I just choose to believe a loving God.
But that still doesn't answer my question. Are those who choose to believe in a higher power...illogical?
