Do you believe in God, if not why not, and what made you come to this decision?
Please don't use this question as an excuse to disrespect others beliefs, i am just interested in YOUR reasons!!
Thanks for your time!!

Yes definitely.
Because I cannot accept that we all live on this tiny ball (called earth) spinning at several thousand miles per hour, in the middle of nowhere, with nothing holding it up can be a happy accident.
It's all rather too beautiful.
Humans have called it GOD and why not? What other term is there for the simply unexplainable, mysterious, brilliance of it all.
Look at one snowflake under a microscope, what purpose would there be insuch exquisite and intricate perfectly formed symmetry.
(and that's just the snowflakes)
If even the smallest things like that are so incredible, what of life, living, the supercomputer we call the brain, feelings, senses and soulfulness.
I think we are all part of the universal life by design, not by accident and therein lies my faith.

I had always been a atheist, until 3 years ago. I met someone, my now best mate, who, without knowing it, lead me to Jesus! She had always been made to go to Church, so she didn't know much different, but one day i asked her what she did at church and she sed it was a bit boring, but i insisted that i came along to see what it was like. (im not sure why i wanted to go, i just did) Anyway, i started going, just as something to do, and i ended up going to this christian campsite called 'New Wine', and ever since, i have been a born again Christian!!! God is AMAZING!!

I'm a Buddhist, no I do not believe in a God(s).
I came to my decision after thorough study of the world's major religions along with testing the Buddha's teachings in my lfie through constant reflection and striving for insights.

My faith began thirteen years ago with a vision of the Deity and is sustained by regular contact with the Divine in the world around me. I wouldn't presume to say that my own personal experiences constitute proof for anyone else, though. But you asked, so there's your answer. :-)

Our conscience is the set of standards based upon real truth, as an in-built element of all human being.
What we believe, actually we discover the truth, what tallies with truth already existing in our inner most self, the conscience. Otherwise our false beliefs always keep us restless and impatient, as by not harmonising with our internal truth.
So my belief on almighty Allah and last prophet Muhammad pbuh, gives me peace of mind as it exactly tallies with my inner self.

instinct. i studied various religions and most didn't seem right. there was an underlying attitude or something i just couldn't swallow. whenever i came across something from a religion that just rang true to me, i absorbed it. which is why i cannot tell anyone 'what' path i follow, i kinda made up my own conglomeration from such things as buddhism, wicca, various paganisms, pantheism, panentheism, hunduism, shamanism.
i see the destinations as the same, so why not take directions from everyone and make my own way.

I'm pretty confident God does not exist. I am confident he does not exist because of logic. Logic and resoning contradicts paranormal or supernatural activities. I have learned to distinguish between the two.

I do believe in God because He revealed Himself to me in very personal way, not through people quoting the Bible and yet He led me to Himself through Jesus and then used the Bible to verify what He revealed to me.

no one made me believe in anything
my experiences and situations around me just happened to be more suggestive that there was a God
so i naturally followed up on that and done some research that affirmed this for me
