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?
Non-believer's case:
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 case:
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?

Of Course! I believe that for some reason you are angry at God. This is leading to a lack of respect. You need to search your heart. Because He is God then He deserves your respect. Think of someone you love and then think about the respect you show them and why. God covers all that.

Well, if you believe in him, but dont respect him your Lukewarm. And in the bible, it states that God, does not like Lukewarm people. You either have to be FOR or AGAINST.
It depends on if you follow a certain religion. If you follow Christianity, you wont go to heaven, because your breaking the 10 commandments.
If you just think hes there to be there, then theres no harm or foul..
Its all in your opinion

You have gotten some very good answers The answer is, you don't have to do anything, but you should have respect for God, at least, respect. Do you have a problem with that?

Having no respect for God reveals that you do not believe in God.

The Gnostics believed in the god of the Old Testament (YHVH), but did not respect him. Of course, they also believed in a higher God whom they did respect. So I guess it depends on your reasons for disrespecting him.

Do your kids need to respect you?
How much more so with God?
And you are no different than a demon then, because even they acknowledge him.

It's not possible. I don't understand everything in the Bible, but I have faith there is a good reason for it. You can't believe in gravity, but not respect it and jump out of plane just because you don't think anything bad will happen(without a parachute of course)

God deserves our respect simply because he died for us because he loves us that much. He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone.
But beyond that, he rules the universe. I'd say the one who created everything that exists with mere thoughts deserves respect.
