Why not? I am not doing anyone harm by doing so. I would rather believe and find out that I was wrong than not do so and find out it is true.
My belief is reconfirmed whenever I look into the trusting eyes of a child, the work worn hands of a father or mother, the stars at night, the impossible ability of a bumblebee in flight. God's hands created such wondrous things that it is difficult to list them all. What I have found out is the fact that the perfection of his creations could never be an accident. The proof is all around us and we take it for granted every day.
My belief is God became ingrained in my soul whenever I experienced the miracles He did in my own life. From everyday things to large ones. What those miracles are is very personal to me, but only a greater being than man or woman could have done those things.
I guess most people could spout about salvation and heavenly treasures, but the one thing that convinces me of God is the fact that He was willing to sacrifice His Son for someone as imperfect as me and the whole world. I could not have done this thing and I don't know anyone that could. Anything that loves me that much has my heartfelt love and devotion.

Let's see...people ask - "how do you know there's a God?" Well, in reality, no one TRULY knows whether or not there is some supreme being that created us all and that one day, will judge whether or not we go to a heaven or hell. They believe in a big bang theory or some just don't believe at all, which when you really think about it, is pretty close minded. Something had to create whatever created us. Yes, the big bang theory could be true, but something had to create that which created the big bang. Get it?
Basically, I'm saying I believe in a God, whether it's the christian God or not, because nothing just appears out of the blue and creates itself. The only question left to ask after that is, what created God?

Because all of the evidence He left -- historical, spiritual, prophetic, scientific, etc. -- all points to His existence and His involvement in the affairs of mankind. There is tremendous evidence for those who are willing to search for it, evidence of a spiritual realm, evidence that man is body, soul and spirit, evidence of demonic and angelic activity, evidence that all of creation operates according to a design, and so on.
Personally, my search to discover God ended when I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour; I went from belief to KNOWING that there is a God. What I believe is what He says about Himself and about Man in His Bible. Once you experience a thing, you go beyond simply believing and enter into knowing.
For anyone that doesn't believe that there is a God, or even a spiritual realm, I offer this simple challenge to learn the truth: Walk into any satanic church and tell them that you "don't believe in this spiritual stuff." Or, walk into any toy store, buy a Ouija board, get some simple-minded people who also question the spiritual realm, then play with it. If you survive the encounter, you will know that there is a dimension beyond what you can see, and you will have met the dark side of that dimension face to face. A more wiser way? Read the Bible, do the homework, and search it sincerely for evidence. That is a much safer way. Good luck!

Does a wrist-watch have a designer, or did it just come together by chance? compare that to the preciseness of the universe. Does a camera have a designer, or did it just come together by chance. Compare that to the eye. If you found an arrowhead on the ground you would automatically think, "there were intelligent Indians here at one time". Compare a crude arrowhead to the human hand; no designer? People don't want to believe in God because they don't want to recognize his authority, then they would be accountable for their actions. Its easier for them, they can ignore their consciences.
(Psalm 10:4)" The wicked one according to his superciliousness makes no search; All his ideas are: “There is no God.”
(Psalm 53:1) "The senseless one has said in his heart: “There is no Jehovah.” They have acted ruinously and have acted detestably in unrighteousness; There is no one doing good."
(Isaiah 29:16) "The perversity of YOU men! Should the potter himself be accounted just like the clay? For should the thing made say respecting its maker: “He did not make me”? And does the very thing formed actually say respecting its former: “He showed no understanding”?" Its not an intelligence deficiency, it's a moral deficiency.

Basically, if you believe in God, then you would have to believe in Devil/Satan, isn't it? And the afterlife theory......
God is only a faith that people choose to believe in because it makes them feel good and helps them cope with life. So it is either you believe in God or You believe in yourself. Believing in God seems an easier way out to me. It is a personal choice that you made.

I have no doubt that God had created me and I realized God's benevolence in providing everything on earth and even the Sun and Moon out in the Universe just for the sake of us. I really appreciate this gifted precious life , without God's creation I don't even exist in the world.

Earth just got created by itself, God is a name. Earth is real and so is all living matter and organism. I believe there is a reason for life and death and what is responsible for creation, sure does not have to explain the reasons for humanity and the choices humans make. All will be known if it is meant to be..
