Why Do You Believe In Deity?

Inspired by the "Thinking About God" thread...

Why do you believe in your god/goddess(s)?

<Also, see the included poll> Feel free to elaborate on the questions.

*Note- This is for people who DO believe in deity. Please do not turn this thread into an atheism vs. theism flame war.

The absolute is said to be formless, whereas the human mind thinks in terms of symbols.
The Deity then becomes a symbol for the human mind to focus on the formless.
