I will withhold my own personal views and just explore the question.
You don't believe in GOD because you have no proof, you feel that you were brainwashed into a belief system unfairly and you seem to think that people who feel GOD's prescence are tripping. okay.

Have you ever seen a black hole? How about a neutrino? a Quark? the ozone layer? Pluto? How do we know that Latin Bacig was reciting at the speed of sound was really a prayer? Hmm, I bet you believe they exist and give Bacig the benefit of the doubt because he is a Phd. The only evidence we have for these beliefs is that someone else said they saw one or that they can express it in mathematical terms so obscure that GOD only knows what it really means. The reality is WE all have a lot more invested in faith than we realize. We may be eating a load of bullshit everyday but we certainly don't want to believe it.

One may not be able to prove GOD's existance but one certainly cannot diprove his existance either. Arguing about what GOD did and why(and how?) may be entertaining but it does not bring us any closer that proving or disproving existance.
