There are many reasons not to believe in a God, and I don’t disparage those who don’t share my belief. Instead I will simply testify that one of my reasons for believing is that it is helpful to be reminded by my community that my view of things is just that. I don’t see with God’s eyes; I can only aspire to do so.

I have written a longer version of this here, with some references to the Stoic philosophers who help me to explain this view.
