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?

They are a better person only by the institution of attaining a more spiritual conduct.As is stated..."Be not selfish for those lower things but be selfish for those things higher," When this can be accomplished, they are a better person...applying only to themselves. It is the acceptance of an inner knowing. Believing is only part of the goal.. actions still speak louder than even belief.

Most believers try their best to be a good person, some could be it is their nature to be good and some are doing it because of their belief. Most of the time we see a person who does not believe because he is a victim of bad circumstances and have to blame someone for his actions. A better person however, does not necessarily have to be believer although most religions have taught many to be good.

They may believe that because people who truly love God and follow His commandments tend to be moral because of their love for Him. Those who have Jesus dwelling in their hearts try to do things that are pleasing to God. It's not true, though, that believing in God automatically makes you a better person. It just makes you more enlightened to the truth. None of us are DESERVING of God's grace and forgiveness, but by God's grace, we all have the chance to receive forgiveness through Christ.

Because in many religions, the belief in god goes along with a set of moral values that they believe are good. So if you believe in a religion that worships a good God, then you will strive to be "god like" and therefore you will be a better person.

Because your level of faith can determine how much belief you have in life. If you can belief in something that you can not see, then you have the power to do the unthinkable in your everyday life. There will be nothing that you can not do or achieve. Therfore, you will grow and mature as person. Moreover, you shall become a better person.

"Follow manmade laws" -- see above. Well if HUMAN laws are better than gods laws, more moral for example, then thats a good thing!
Deuteronomy 21:18 tells me it is my duty to stone rebellious children. The law of my country, made by man, would put me in prison for that. Guess which law I'm following?

I was unaware that anyone but you held such a ridiculous opinion.
Here is a better question. Why do people not understand that bad grammer, syntax, and spelling discredit whatever merit their question may have contained by making the asker look stupid??

God left us all a pretty good set of rules to live by through books like the Bible, the Book of Mormon and the Koran.........if we try to find the best in all of them, we'll have heaven on earth.
