Who believes in God, and who does not, and why?
I do not believe in him, because you always have to be nice to everybody, and it's really hard. And if ya won't you will burn in hell, wha-ha-ha-ha, and the book about him is a lie. Why people believe in God, there if no proof that he is there, when I was small i always prayed, thinking that he will help me, and everything will be a fairytale, but everything turned to the left, and I was sad. People we have to live on our own, no one will help us.

I am sad for people who believe in god, I am 14, and nothing will , make me believe in God. It's like "I won't believe it, until I see it." When you were younger you have been brainwashed by you mother of father... World was created not by God, it was all
gases and liquid that came together. There is a lot of people suffering in Africa why doesn't God helps them they done nothing wrong, every second people die,and what does god does, NOTHING. Maybe tomorrow will be the end of the world what will he do just kill us, and let me burn in hell...

There are no gods. They are all just religious superstition.

"Who believes in God, and who does not, and why?"
I believe in Him.
"I do not believe in him, because you always have to be nice to everybody, and it's really hard."
Just because it's hard, does it mean it's not true?
"And if ya won't you will burn in hell, wha-ha-ha-ha, and the book about him is a lie."
Same. Just because you don't like the thought of hell, does that mean it isn't true?
"Why people believe in God, there if no proof that he is there,"
That's an assumption. You haven't seen all the proof, and there are multiple logical arguments which necessitate the presence of a divine creator.
"when I was small i always prayed, thinking that he will help me, and everything will be a fairytale, but everything turned to the left, and I was sad."
So because He didn't do what you wanted him to do, you declared Him nonexistent?

No matter what you believe in, life will never be a fairy tale. I'm sorry that either religion or atheist has given off this idea. The fact of the matter is that crappy things happen.
I think that the problem you are having is that when you look at those who believe in a God you see how they act and the way that they talk and think that you have to live up to that and act that same way. The fact of the matter is that how you act will come from what you believe.
Does thinking that you are on your own offer any sort comfort to you or does it make you feel alone in a huge world?

That is where that little word FAITH comes in to play.
Look at it this way: What if we are right and you are wrong? You ever think about that. Incidently the bible is not a lie if you study any ancient history at the College level you will see that.
Now take a good look at the universe and tell me it happened at random. Sorry but some intelligent being had to have created it. As complex as the universe is it can not have happened randomly There has to be a God and he has to have created it.

I must have over-looked the passage in the Bible that says you must be nice to everyone or you'll burn in hell.
I believe in God, there's no scientific evidence that God exists, that's why they call it "faith".
- how do you think people and the entire world was created?

I believe in God because 36 years ago when I wasn't looking for Him but had actually told Him to get out of my life, He revealed Himself to me through speaking into my heart a word that totally changed my life. He made me understand that Jesus Christ really was the Son of God, that He really did come down from heaven, and that He really did die on a cross for my sins, so I could be forgiven and receive the gift of eternal life. He has totally changed my life by freeing me from lying and stealing and using people and has freed me from fear and depression and loneliness and meaninglessness. He has taught me love and given me continual deep peace in my heart, and taught me to be kind and generous and honest. I have a daily awareness of his presence living with me by the Holy Spirit who He sent to live in me. I have studied the Bible, and am completely convinced it is the Word of God, and that we are living in the last of the last days, and terrible judgments are soon to come upon the earth and destroy all those who hate God. Did you know the Bible foretold the Jews would return to the land of Israel over 3500 years ago? (see Deuteronomy 30:1-5)
This happened in 1948 when 700,000 poorly armed Jews defeated 40 million heavily armed Arabs who were intent on driving the Jews into the sea. This is just one of the many miracles He is doing in the earth today.
I hope you come to know Him yourself as a loving Savior. The only alternative will be to meet him as your Judge, and He is as strict in judgment as He is generous in mercy.

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?

Even without God, you have to be nice to everybody. Get used to it.

i believe in God. my daughter laid in my arms, i really thought she was going to die. at 6weeks old she was in ICU. i really hated God then. my daughter didn't understand why i had people hurting her, poking her with needles and tubes. the doctors and i were trying to save her. sometimes we can't see why God does what he does. but sometimes i think during the pokes and pain... maybe he's trying to save me?
