Why don’t you believe in God?

If any god wants my attention they know how to get it.

Since I have not even heard chirping crickets in that regard, i will continue as though they do not want my attention.

I can't see any value in believing things to be so when I have no way of knowing them to be so. So I don't "believe in" God.

However, there is both logic and value in hoping that something I would like to be so, will be or will become so, to the degree that I act as if. That's called faith. Or living by faith. And I can choose to do this in regards to the question of the existence of a benevolent God.

Well, at least you have a little hope. Maybe that will bloom into something else.
