Like Einstein, I believe in Spinoza's god.

Religion as its been said, is mankind's first attempt at explaining our existence and the cosmos.

It's 2013...better explanations are all over the place. That's the truth, not "fringe" thinking.

Well don't keep us in suspense!

Has the Universe always existed in some form, or did it spontaneously emerge from nothing at a finite point in the past just because it wanted to?

That's if you only believe in one universe. If you believe in a God from words in a book, you can believe in multiple universes from words in a book. Or at least think it is possible. People think they mentally pray with their brains and God can hear them.
