What is it like to believe in god?

It's learning to trust in Him, yet know that if you jump from a 30 story building, don't depend on God to reach out with His giant hand and save you. Believing in God yet retaining common sense is a good idea. lol:

I haven't believed in god since I was about 8 years old. I remember before then god was a fact like all the other facts I knew, not a super important one, just something I took for granted. Adam and eve and Jesus and stuff I was taught and I believed it. After about 8 I stopped going to a lutheran school and stopped being taught about Jesus and God and stopped thinking about it for about a decade.

This may come off as insulting, but god feels to me like the tooth fairy, santa claus, and all the other things I used to believe in when I was a kid.Now, that childlike acceptance of god, santa claus, ghosts, and the tooth fairy is gone and I simply cannot imagine what would replace it. I've experienced many things I could not have imagined as a child, yet I have not experienced faith.

So it's from ignorance I ask:
