Yes, I believe in the God of Christianity. When I went on my spiritual quest years ago I found out Christianity is the only faith with strong scientific, logical, philosophical and historical evidence for it; as a matter of fact there's a wealth of it. No other religion even comes close. That's what brought me to it but what keeps me believing is God Himself. When a person becomes a Christian for real (not just pretending) God's Spirit comes into that person and it is His presence that removed all doubt from me and keeps me believing. All the other answers I've read here are based solely on someone's feelings about what they believe. Christianity is based on solid evidence. Just go to a Christian book store and ask for some books on the evidence that Christianity is true but be prepared to be overwhelmed! :-) One great one is called "Why I Am a Christian" and is by 7 or 8 authors from different sciences including astrophysics, philosophy (that guy went right over my head!), history, archaeology, and others and all have at least a Masters degree showing that Christians aren't a bunch of ignorant morons as often protrayed. That book might be a bit deep to start with so you should probably start by going to http://cc.christiancourses.com/pages/coursecatalog.php
and go through some of the courses there such as "10 Reasons To Believe In Christ Rather Than Religion". The foundation of Christianity is Jesus's return from death 3 days after being murdered so you might want to start with "10 Reasons To Believe In The Resurrection". These are for designed for a wide audience and are therefore easy enough to understand yet fairly comprehensive.
Don't just follow your or someone else's *unproven* beliefs or feelings. Your quality of *this* life as well as your eternal life after this life depend on knowing and following the truth. Demand proof before following any religion or faith or belief. You do that for many less important things so it is ever so much more important that you do so for the *most* important thing. God would hardly give us just one true way (Jesus said "I am *the* way, *the* Truth and *the* Life...") without providing proof so seek that proof and may God give you an open mind and the willingness to study the evidence for the Truth and I hope we meet in heaven someday!

I believe in God. I practice the Vodou faith. I practice because I feel close to divinity. It has helped me become closer to God than any other religion I have practiced before. There is a sense of family, community and togetherness. I also practice because it has touched me in a way that nothing has ever touched me before. It makes me feel complete. I truly believe this is my path and I can honestly say I will practice this religion until the day I am no longer physically on earth.
What keeps me believing it the fact that I know I will never ever be alone. I have always have my house to rely one. They are my family. I have been blessed by my ansectors, the lwa, and most importantly by Bondye (God)

I am a polytheist and I worship some of the deities that were once worshiped in Celtic-speaking areas during the Iron Age. Two important tenets of my religion are honor and hospitality (there are more). I believe that deities have both positive and negative traits just like anyone else. I do not believe that any deity is all-knowing or all-powerful. I also believe in land and water spirits/deities. I believe in reincarnation and give daily offerings of incense, food and drink at my family altar. I honor my ancestors. I believe in the symbology of a world tree representing the lower (sea), middle (land), and upper (sky) realms. After death, I believe that I will go to the Otherworld to feast before reincarnating again to learn more. I do not believe that there is only one "correct" way to give honor to deities.
The thing that keeps me believing is my deities and the relationships that I have with them. I feel blessed, serene and fulfilled. It just makes sense to me.

I believe in people, and in the potential of humanity. Not all people are good, just, or whole in spirit or in mind. But we all have the potential to do good things for one another. Even the evil of the world creates good. Wars create the technology that saves lives. Terrorist attacks bring us closer together. That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger. But it all comes from humanity, no matter what the reason.

I believe in the truth, things that can be known. There is no need to believe in things that can't be known. Whether they are true or not is just irrelevant. Life is here and now in this moment, and nothing unknown plays any part in living this moment, here, now.

I believe in a personal God. He's with me 24/7, listens when I need him too, and loves me- no matter how badly I mess up. And He's given me the most awesome life I could have ever imagined. :)
