There are Chinese gods, Greek gods, Jew's god Yahweh,... How can I believe that God exists because other people think their gods exist too.

Highlander: A film series. The films wanted to show us God do exist. Made by humans. Used movie magic. So...
I don't believe in fiction films.
=> I don't believe in God.

I never said that I don't respect religions. I just want to know why they believe in God. I believe in Obligaism (crazy, huh, it's like this: Our great ancestors and great leaders always in our hearts).

Well, how about the polytheism and monotheism stuff? Confucianism disregarded women, but Athena, Izanami got powerful powers. Wht God divided itself like that, pretty crazy.

Human chose to believe in gods, that means gods were just a invention by human, and human is the god of everything.

No. I am without belief in God with a capital "G" or any gods with a lower case "g".
In fact, I don't even know what this "god" thing is anyway. It's a meaningless concept and should therefore be rejected until it become coherent and believable.

The three big western traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all claim that they are the true religion. They do, however, all say that there is some truth to be found in al world religions, especially between these three. They all come from Abraham indeed. The whole truth though is thought to be found by believers in their respected religions. They do not say that they are the only ones with any truth on God, but that they are the ones with the full or whole truth about God. And this does not seem so odd. One religion has to understand God the best or at least better than the rest.
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all believe, for their own reasons, that they hold the fullness of Truth.
Many, if not all, of the big Eastern traditions hold that God can be found in all religions. Hinduism believes that the Supreme Being can be found in many ways and that Hinduism is one way. A Hindu may give the analogy that all religions are just like different hands pointing to the same God. Buddhism is an aethistic religion and therefore really has nothing to do with any kind of God. It is more a way of living. Taoism and Confuscianism are also much more based around a way of life than around a specific God.
So, most, if not all, major religions claim that there is truth in all religions. Some claim that there religion is just as good as any other and some claim that, while there is truth in other faiths, their faith is the closest to being or is exactly right. If you think about it this way I hope that this helps you understand and I hope that it gives you respect for all religions and religious people.
I hope that you can learn to greatly respect and love those who believe that they have found the fullness of Truth in a specific religion and that you can understand much better how it is possible for someone to feel that way.

Yes I believe in one God
God is not an entity. God is awareness and Happiness. It is said to be Sat= the pure, chit= The universal consciousness and Ananda= The perfect bliss is god with in us . Just as a blind folded person cannot see the world so also man has created many commercial ventures in the name of religion and each group protects its own so that the followers can have means of lively hood. A true devotee of god is never worried about food and shelter because h knows the lord who has created will also provide.Man has become so narrow minded that he would not acknowledge the universality of god. He prefers to see god as an entity rather than the force manifested in every atom.

the concept of God is not new but came with the first man adam. that is adam believed in one god, why then their are so many gods and so many concepts of god. that is because people deviated from the obedience of one god and started believing in different gods knowing that the god of these gods is one. many of these people had been destroyed like the Noah's arc which is one of its example.
one problem i believe that you are facing is that if there is a god why not he communicates with the people. he does communicates through selected people which numbers upto 150,000. these includes jesus of christains, david, abraham, moses in which the jews believe and so many others. Muhammad is the last of them. why last? because he has the book of complete guidence which includes all those guidances porvided to previous messengers.
most of the above information has been narrated in the light of what the messenger muhammad said.
what proof do we have that muhammad is the messenger of god?
muhammad pbuh brought forward a book 'quran' which he claims to be from Allah. there must be some proof from which we can authenticiate that 'quran' is realy a book of Allah. well, fortunately the Quran itself challanges the whole universe that if anyone thinks this book is not from allah then he should bring a single ayah(verse) that is like the quran. so far more then 1400 years have been passed and not a single person, even any of the greatest scholar, literate from arab failed to bring such an ayah then its not possible for any english man or others to produce such a miraculous work. the challange still exist. if you think god is not their you should first stand to that challange, i will be the first to be an atheist the day you meet the challange, promise.
quran has every piece of neccessary guidance that you want so god is not intrested in providing more guidence by producing movies for you.

Most gods tell man that he is divine. They also tell us there is a spirit world. I do not deny this. I think this can be demonstrated. The question I want to ask you is this. Which god is the most reasonable? This assumes that if there is a God, he has already revealed himself to the world in one of the many religions. If he has not done this by now, would you agree that it's safe to say that he isn't ever going to reveal himself?
The only thing we can do is choose to believe he has never revealed himself or that already has and we simply haven't been found of him.
So now you may want to begin questioning the various teachings of the world. What kind of god are you looking for, the true God, or the god that suits your need?
Stay tuned for more, be right back...

It is all the same God power, she is present in everything and has many faces. Over time many have tried to put words to their view or experience of God and it had lead to all these different religions.
If a religion has more than one God (like Greek mythology) it is just an attempt to put a explanation on the many different aspects of God.
God is all loving, he loves all life, in all forms, and does not care the tiniest bit if we believe in her or not.

In the past we had the difference of languages, of cultures, of societies, of mentalities, of levels of knowledge...One of the oldest concepts such as 'possession' has been expressed and applied tremendously different from society to society. The concept of 'God' is even more difficult to understand and to pass on.
But things have miraculously changed in our time, started only about 2 centuries ago with apocalyptic events. Monarchies fallen, geographical barriers eliminated, world communication established...
Now the term 'God' can be used, defined and passed on instantly and universally... together with many other wonderful things.
Anybody can keep on argueing that his God is exclusively highest, strongest, truest... but he cannot convince all mankind by words and by deeds for such claim. Because what he had learned are almost outdated and he fails to put into practice even that limited knowledge.
So, at the beginning of our global age, in 1817, the Messenger of God has appeared as the fulfilment of all successive and monotheistic religions in the past. He brought here a new Plan of the One True God to teach us all the necessary new things and bring us to all truth to peacefully and firmly establish world unity.
Each one of us is still completely free to live in the condition of 'Babel' with all the old things or to seek for Him to start learning to live a new life of greater and more glorious hope.
How can I introduce a new religion in 1 or 100 books? Please, seek earnestly for yourself.

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!
Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!
Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?
My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:
Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...
Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...
Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?
