this is completely fine, but you can't really argue against other people saying that they dont believe, because they can use the same logic. so the argument just becomes circular.
And there's nothing wrong with being circular. What have you got against circles anyway? Circles are awesome. Circles are fundamental to the existence of life as we know it. Don't diss circles!!!
Of course this is the case. But it's more "I believe in God because I have to". And of course the argument becomes circular. And of course they will say they don't believe in God because they can. And that's all well and good too.
But there is no other possible reason for belief than "because". And there is no other possible reason for non-belief than "because". Even if you want to name your non-belief reason as "science" it's still no better than "just because". Because science says nothing about the non-existence of God.
So yes, it's circular. But it's always nice to see what other people think and why. I'm just trying to show people that it is possible to be a believer without being a religious freak. Often, this obvious fact is missed.

Pulled it straight outta my arse.
Just saying that for me to accept the universe as being the way it is without being created is not going to happen because the odds of it really aren't there in my opinion. And that's all it is, an opinion. But I still see it as a possibility, because anything is possible and I don't know everything. Hence the 20%.There you go, thinking scientifically again. You see a number and have to understand where it comes from. You need liberation from the restriction of scientific thought. No good will come of it, trust me!!
And never trust anyone that says "trust me".
