I am not sure about the existence of God.
I am not sure about anything else, either.
I would like to do the greatest good for the greatest number, but I'm not sure that is possible. However, I am willing to live my life by taking my best stab at it (knowing, at the same time, that the effort may be an exercise in futility to even TRY to optimize things- as the effects of one's actions are really unknowable). I choose to try to do the greatest good because I emotionally prefer that- I really can't justify it absolutely, and relatively I don't see it as having any greater absolute merit.

I've done my best to explain.
