You're kinda dodging now. Where did you learn morality? From others and experience maybe? Why does God need to be connected to morality as if morality can't exist without God? You do bad, you get punished, you learn to know better. No god is needed. So why believe in God?
If you never grew wings and flew but you saw people who did fly and Shakespeare wrote a great play about it that you saw also wouldn't you think growing wings and flying would be awesome and wouldn't you believe it existed. So those who haven't felt love can still believe it exists and think it's awesome.
Would you say DaVinci and Michael Jordan are gifted? If so, where did the gift come from? Aren't they both divine in that they seem at times to transcend us mere mortals. Why bother with art if it's so impractical?
When people ask me why do I believe in God and more specifically Jesus my answer at this point is for the same reason you might believe in the wonderment and magic of love or the importance of art.
