Because people find it easy in believing God but difficult in following His words. By following His words, you got to sacrifice many things, but by believing on Him, you don't necessarily sacrifice anything. and its difficult to sacrifice something expecially if its important to you.

Because people need something to believe in and what better thing than an invisible being no one has ever seen. Therefore their beliefs will never be broken or challenged in any way because no one can prove or disprove an "afterlife".
And"holy books" with "holy words" were made by people. People aren't god. God doesn't talk to people. And god isn't real...

If God came down Himself and told people what to do, it might actually happen. But since He doesnt, people like to pick and choose what they beleive are His words. Basically, most people who say they believe in God, also see themeslves as following Him. They are trying, and I think that counts for something.

Sometimes people make big errors in judgement.
However, most of the time, people who believe in God do follow his words. It just may not be in the same phrasing or context that you prefer to abide by.

If you are asking that question in regards to what is said in the bible the reason why people are like that is because if you study the Bible it states that everyone is a sinner and that God is the one who makes the decisions as to the fate of man when they die not man.
In order to know what im taking about why not do to things read up on the bible and also read up on theolgy written by Christian scholars.

Jesus asked the same thing!
Luke 6.46-49
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.
He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."
Some people are going to be surprised on judgement day!
Matthew 7:22-24
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

You'll have to prove what "His Words" are. Your Bible isn't an accurate source for that particular information. Too many inconsistencies.

Who knows?
Hypocrasy is a very human thing, what else says one thing and does the other? I suppose we take pride in our... individuality from other species.
