Please give me some SENSIBLE/LOGICAL reasons that I should believe that there is an All powerful being that created everything. Please don't include "Because you'll go to hell if you don't believe", Or "believe through faith",etc.

Great answers huh? Anyway...God exists because he has proven Himself all throughout history. And it is really up to you to believe and searchit out. Nothing that I can say will convince you. In my own life i have experienced living how I want to along with living ac cording to the Bible and Gods plan. By far Gods plan has been the best and most fulfilling. Sensible and logical I dont know about but if you test Him and honestly believe He will nake himself real Im positive He will. Seek and ye shall find...

Sense and logic revolve around things we understand and can explain. If there is some kind of higher being or force, then it will defy all logic as the very concept of it is illogical. God is a personal thing that we use to explain things we don't fully understand, like why things major or minor happen in our life. It is a human tendency to blame or rely on someone or something when things either happen or we want them to happen, yet we can not fully explain or control them. Therefore you're belief in god is all dependent on your world view, how you deal with various situations in your life and how you get comfort in situations beyond your control. So yes, faith is very much part of the belief as faith means we have confidence that something/someone we can not control or explain has some sort of control over our lives and destinies.

You have a free choice to believe or not to believe, but be ready to face the consequences. What if all these people are right? What if after you die you will face God who will say: you refused to know Me, I refuse to know you, and will send you away to suffer in darkness, eternally?
What if after you start believing you will know that God loves you and will take care of you no matter what?
I really don't know how to give you sensible reasons to believe, sorry. You have to want to believe in order to be open to them.

I pray that you will make the right choice may God bless you

The fact that you are asking this question shows a desire in urself to have some sort of spirituality. Even when cultures develope separately, religious customs and beliefs are always present. it is undeniable that humans yearn for spiritual meaning. This yearning you have discovered in urself. If you wish, you can chose to ignore it, but that wont change the fact that its there, and it wont make the question you just asked stop repeating itself in your head. Or you could chose to put ur belief in something. Its really your choice and a personal one. Good luck, hope this answers your question, although I really think you should be questioning your own heart to find out what it is that you truly want.

That is the thing, you don't have to! i personally do believe in G-d, not for foolish reasons like "I'll go to hell if I don't" and so on. I choose to because I have the free will to do so and I just feel it inside of me. If someone doesn't have it, it's OK as well. We are free to not worship or to do so. In my opinion, G-d is the Universe that one is to become one with in Buddhism or even the Tao or "Way" in Chinese philosophy (ie. The eternal way) My belief is that G-d is not tangible or material like a noun but like a verb . (Yes, maybe I am crazy)

There is no more sensible or logical reasons to believe in God than to believe in the flying spaghetti monster.

If you don't want to consider hell, they consider the universe. It is so exquisite it is beyond me why anyone would reject the idea of a Divine Creator. Just as an aside try studying math as a hobby. It is absolutely beautiful.
