Atheists and agnostics: do you wish there was a god?

It is impossible for me to delude myself into thinking there is a god (or gods). I simply can’t; and yet sometimes I find myself wishing I did believe. I wish there was something after death, I wish there was really such thing as Karma, I wish the answers were just as simple as “god intended it that way”.

Am I alone?

Isn't it part of the growth process, am I not quite normal in my confusion (for lack of a better word). After all there is a limit to human understanding, but there is no limit to human curiosity.

My question is more about desire to believe in whatever god you choose, it doesn't matter, your believing in a god (or gods) won't change the world, just your perception of it.
