5. I believe in something.

I'm not sure I'd call it "supernatural".

Our perception is limited and specific to our immediate environment, I have no doubt that things exist which we do not perceive, or perceive properly, or can understand.

I'm not sure I'd call it "God", even.

My latest theory is that our reality is test bed to answer a question, because not even God knows the answer to all things. If He did, he'd have no need to create the world. I don't know what the question is, and certainly not the answer.
