Belief does not amount to acceptance of anything. Lets suppose two persons Mr.John and Mr.Robert are friends to you and you have lent money to both of them. While John has faithfully returned the money to you, Robert failed to repay making you to loose faith on him! Whether you have the faith or not both the people are alive and are still in front of you! But you accept one and negate the other! So, just believing the GOD is senseless and meaningless without accepting that the God does himself believes you in the first palce and for all of your good deeds he reciprocate by blessing for good things to shower on you! In real terms, the belief in GOD is only to purify yourself to keep away all that is bad for you to enable you to stand as a good person to lead a successful life and to set yourself confident in achieving things better than that you could not acheive those things by being bad and unfaithful to others in life!

Why do you not believe in God?
This short dialogue occurred in a chat room with an atheist.
Matt: Why is it that you do not believe in God?
Dan: Because there is no evidence that he exists.
Matt: But, if a person asked you what kind of things you'd accept, within reason, as evidence for God, what would you say? If you have nothing to offer, then you haven't thought your position through... and if you haven't done that, then can you honestly lay claim to the title 'atheist'?
Dan: Can you come up with a set of circumstances where you'd be forced to believe in unicorns? Come up with a way that you would believe in unicorns, and I'll show you a way to fake it. You come up with an air tight way to believe in unicorns, then get back to me about the untenability of my position
Matt: The way to believe in unicorns is to find one, or have pictures of one, or a fossil of one, or a bunch of people who said they saw one, and they all described, basically the same thing: a unicorn. That would be a way.
Dan: Well, how about, if he [God] could do something that was clearly illogical, like make a square circle, and show it to me. Then I would believe.
Matt: A square circle is a non-sequitur. It is self contradictory by definition. God cannot violate his own nature.
Dan: Why not?
Matt: Can you violate your own nature? Can you will yourself to be bigger than the sun?
Dan: No, but if there is a god, I'd expect him to exist outside of logic.
Matt: Perhaps, but not against logic since he created it.
Dan: He created logic. Why can't he do things that run against it?
Matt: If God created the universe, then he created it out of his own nature, design, or essence. The design and natural laws had to originate in his mind. Therefore, it will have his characteristics woven into it: logic, physics, etc. Since God is self sufficient, He cannot be self contradictory. Otherwise, can not sustain himself. Therefore, He cannot violate His own nature.
Dan: So? Is he limited to the things he built into the universe? Isn't he omnipotent?
Matt: Yes...
Dan: Why can't he act against his own universe?
Matt: He could. He could destroy the entire universe. But He chooses not to.
Dan: What a crock. Just like I could stomp the earth and crush all armies with a wave of my hand. I just choose not to. Your argument isn't valid.
Matt: Why? Just because God doesn't choose to do something He has the power to do, it does not mean He does not exist. After all, does it prove that you do not exist if you choose not to do something you could do? If you choose not to clap your hands right now, does that mean you do not exist? Of course not.
Dan: Hmmmm
Matt: Think about this. Choosing to not exercise his will is the same as you choosing not to exercise belief in a god. Both are lack of action. So, how can you complain against God for not moving according to your criteria (lack of action), when you choose to not move at all in believing in Him (also a lack of action)?
At this point the conversation was over. I thought this was a good discussion that demonstrated the illogic of his reasons for not believing in God.

God does not believe; God knows.
And one day, we also shall know.

Because God loves us so much that he allowed his only Son to die for us and save us from death. We owe Him.
