DigitalShadow, you obviously like to think a lot! Relax.
No need to ever get hung up on Truth with a big T, or any earth shattering sign. Belief is a matter of choice. Not everyone needs to believe, but there are definite benefits for those who choose to believe: Religion gives you comfort when you are old and frail and ministers to you when you are about to die. It helps mourn for you when you have lost a spouse or a child. It celebrates with you the momentous events in your life. It helps you survive adversity.
When you feel love for God, you can feel love in return and neither one can ever be quantified, for it in unnecessary: Love suffices.
