I believe in God - I do not need religion

I believe that God is truly omnipotent, an ultimate force, not a being or entity, not good, loving, vengeful or evil, but all-encompassing. So much so that It is an unfathomably immense, incomprehensible Thing (not in a negative/grotesque sense but in an unknown sense).I would therefore never assume to(i) understand It's nature (such as thinking of It as "He" or "She"), (ii) speak for It, (iii) have the abilty to directly communicate with It, or (iv) believe that I am doing It's bidding. Likewise, I would never assume that I am going to a Heaven or a Hell when I die.I just don't know. This is how I attempt to be humble before the magnitude of God.I appreciate, respect and fear (ie. I am in awe of) God in the myriad of aspects that I am able to recognize. I strive to be a decent person and to treat others with the same appreciation, respect (and fear) because I feel it is necessary to do so for all aspects of Creation/God.My belief is personal. I do not wish to place myself under the label of any "ism" and I do not feel it necessary to practice any sort of religion to find salvation. Though I appreciate the age-old wisdom that religion provides, it seems to be alot like a police-force or government, necessary, yes, but not for everyone, especially when there are other institutions in society providing a very similiar service/message.Do not murder, rape, cheat, steal, lie. Treat your neighbours with respect and dignity. Even people in the most remote areas of the world seem to understand and practice this (obviously not always successfully but often more so than so-called civilized nations), which leads me to believe that morality is perhaps an instinctive communal mechanism rather than instructions from a superior governing entity. I do believe morality needs to be "enforced" to some degree but I believe that everyone should be free to ascertain the worthiness of the source of that education, and where to place their faith.I feel that I understand the concept of Faith, how powerful it is as a motivator, a relaxant, and as a narcotic. How it is so crucial for a religion (and other instiutions) to function. I also see how it is strongly linked to hope. I believe that God exists, is anywhere, everywhere, everything, and anything, but my hope lies with humanity, that one day we can all live together in some degree of harmony with ourselves and the world around us, and with myself, that I might one day find salvation and enlightment. Perhaps it will be the same salvation as others, perhaps even via the wisdom of religion, but I don't believe I could ever join a religion because I do not have faith in a large portion of their beliefs. This said, I am also very willing to learn. It is not my aim to insult or undermine the beliefs of others, but to see if I can defend my own. If anyone can enlighten me on how I'm wrong, mislead, or on a path of folly, please do. I look forward to the discussion.-Because I'm new to formal debate, the only rule I'm placing is the age-limit of 16. No offence to under sixteens, I'm sure many of you could enlighten me on a thing or two, just trying to be as fair and open as possible while also trying to find an opponent with at least a moderately developed sense/view of their beliefs. Perhaps I should take away the age restriction or make it higher, my own age or older? Higher rank? I'm not sure. I've seen how others structure their debates on this website and have been wondering how necessary it is. Please leave a comment if you have any advice on setting rules and/or format/structure of the debate. I'd appreciate it.
