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?

No.
The same reason I don't believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny,
Ghosts, or that the world is flat.
Because after childhood, myths, legends, and fairy tales start to unravel. As we start learning, more and more of our previously held beliefs become obsolete.
After about age 10, we realize that a fat man in a red suit couldn't possibly: know that we've been bad or good, carry that many toys, travel that fast, or fly in a sled pulled by reindeer.
The same way we know that there is no 'invisible man' that listens to us, sees our every move, is everywhere at once, etc.
Religion is a fantasy that was created to explain those things that people didn't understand.
Now that science and technology has explained those things, we no longer need the fairy tale.
Religion is brainwashing, silly, and the cause of more hate and violence than any other in the history of man.

Yes, I do believe in God. I have a hard time explaining why. But I have found through the years that God is the only thing worth believing. Having a relationship with God is the greatest thing you can have. Without God, without Christ, we are NOTHING.
God existence can neither be proven nor disproved through science. To those who say my beliefs are irrational, i can only respond by saying this this is my experience, and it endures despite everything I have learned in this world. If believing in God is crazy, then I am truly, irretrievably mad!

No.
Because there's no evidence - most of whats in the bible is blatantly false rubbish written by mere mortals, ignorant bronze age people at that - if God did exist there would be no point in making the universe - let alone one so big since its all for us. Why test people and give them an afterlife? No reason for souls since people wouldnt know until after they died anyway so they could make up stories themselves which is what ignorant people do.
The scripture is worthless, people say they've experience god but the Yorkshire ripper heard jesus telling him to kill and I dont expect many christians believe that was genuine.
I could go on, and on.

I have never been presented with a good enough proof that god actually exist. While absense of evidence is not evidence of absence, I would never live my life for something that I didn't KNOW was there. Anyone can say "I know he's here, I have felt his presence" but that's a load of bullshit. There isn't a single person in the world who KNOWS that god exists. Just people who are confused about the meaning of Faith. If you know, then it's not faith. If it's not faith, then it had nothing to do with God. But faith is deception.

I believe in God because the evidence is around me and inside me. He has helped me through some really rough times... I'd be at rock bottom without Him.

It's irrelevant whether people believe in God or not. The truth is that we exist. Beliefs are just perspectives on reality. One person says they believe in God, one person says they don't. Big deal. There is a life force in all of us. That's not a belief. That's reality. Something sustains our existence whether we want that or not.

Yes I do believe in God, because of all the wonderful things that He has done for me, and for all that he provided for me.I couldn't have gotten this far without His help.

Yes. It just makes sense to me, rationally and emotionally. I feel God's presence in my life and the guiding hand of Providence. Mostly, I believe in God as a consequence of believing in Baha'u'llah.

In my opinion if you believe in god then your really believe in yourself. because god is only a spirit.
