If we were going to answer only intellectually, most of us would admit we like gravity, we just prefer to not acknowledge it much. We like the sound of science fiction ...and we like our lives to have free travel, with minimal friction.

So, though many of us like fiction, we don't like friction in our lives, and we try to convince ourselves that it is easier to say we believe in God, without adhering to what He says.  But isn't that more like believing of God, not in God ...or God in us.
