In God? No. I'm an agnostic, so I think that the existence or non-existence of God is not subject to rational proof; but I'm also an atheist, so I'm pretty sure it's non-existence.
I feel much the same way; I refer to myself as an intellectual agnostic but an emotional atheist. Though it's more complicated than that - I believe we can't know, but I think there's no god. By 'believe' I mean, 'when I consider the question as objectively as I can,' which is why I call myself an intellectual agnostic, and when I write 'think' I mean, 'when I take all my beliefs, experiences, prejudices, etc, into consideration,' which is why I call myself an emotional atheist. I also like calling myself an atheist because, honestly, there's a part of me that thinks stopping at agnosticism is being wimpy about it.
Appropos of other stuff, - see, now, I'd do this meme, but I pretty much agree with everything you wrote, and you've written it better. So my version would be a poor second to yours, or I could just link to yours, and either way it'd be wimpy. And we can't have wimpiness running rampant through our LJs, can we?
