Forget about God. Let's talk about you...
1> Do you realize that you are good at heart?
2> Do you realize that you have the strength to spread smiles?
3> Do you realize that your kindness can positively impact the whole mankind and your rudeness can impact the whole mankind negatively?
4> Do you know what you have to do when you are about to attend your final interview call and you find an old lady lying down that road, and needs your help?
5> Do you realize that you are an integral part if this universe?
6> Do you hear that knock within whenever you tell a lie?
7> Do you hear that knock within whenever you hurt someone?
8> Did you ever experience the beauty of sunset, the smell of roses, the wild gush of the streams?
9> Did you ever ask yourself a question and found the answer by yourself?
10> Did you ever experience yourself to be suddenlyout of a very problematic situation?
Well !!! Answer these questions honestly, and you will understand what God is and why dopeople believe Him.
All the best...
:-)

God is an abstract. It is not visual object. It is a power, that cannot be seen by the eyes, But perceived by right senses.
Like music can be heard, not seen. Touch is felt, not heard. God can be perceived, not seen.
In fact, God means the powers of nature. Each power of nature has an unique function. Having identified these various powers that nature has, ancient hindus imagined and drew their imaginary pictures. These are human animations and not actually human bodies.
For example, the Godess of learnig power is Saraswati. She is shown in an human form wearing white Sari, sitting on a peacock, with a veena in her hands and a crown on the head. This is the imagination of an artist.
The real God, which means all the powers of nature put together, is described as Omnipresent (present everywhere), Omnipotent(having all powers) and Omniscient (Possesing all Knowledge).
Something that cannot be seen by eyes.

I see God in nature.I am listing to the birds chirping outside my window as I type these words. I hear God in the laughter of children. I see proof because my mind is not closed but rather open! I have never seen you nor have I ever been told that you are a real person but I believe you exist. Have a good day!

ok, this may seem a bit simplistic- Living people at the time of Christ, saw Him- both before His crucifixion and after His resurrection. Granted no one living today has seen him with their physical eyes- however have you seen Abraham Lincoln, or George Washington? Couldn't someone in history just made up those stories about them and made up those pictures? Of course not, but you do believe the Lincoln and Washington existed don't you? When you do believe through Jesus Christ= then you will see God face to face- while on earth through our hearts, and when we die, or Christ returns with the physical eye.

Someone has and people all around the world have mocked him every since. His name was Joseph Smith. He helped restore God's church to the earth. Those who did not mock him joined this church; The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (more commonly known as the Mormon church. If your curious you can read more about it at this link. His testimony of this is couragious and compeling. this is my favorite passage, It peirced my heart when I read it a few years back my oppion of the man has been in high regards since that day.
"So it was with me. I had actually seen a light, and in the midst of that light I saw two Personages, and they did in reality speak to me; and though I was hated and persecuted for saying that I had seen a vision, yet it was true; and while they were persecuting me, reviling me, and speaking all manner of evil against me falsely for so saying, I was led to say in my heart: Why persecute me for telling the truth? I have actually seen a vision; and who am I that I can withstand God, or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? For I had seen a vision; I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not deny it, neither dared I do it; at least I knew that by so doing I would offend God, and come under condemnation."
Can you imagine the things people would say and do if instead you had said you seen God instead of asking why we belive?

To answer this...i will ask you to ask yourself where did you come from in this world? Probably from your mother. She came from a series of evolution of human beings....which was a result of the evolution of the bacterium ( sceintifically...i omitted some evolution stages to make my answer short and easy) which came out of favourable conditions of life which came out of matter which came out of the big bang.....but where did the big bang come from? They say big bang was the beginning of time and space.....but that doesnt explain the cause of the big bang. The biggest reason to believe in god is that it is a reason of the world's existence. It can be assumed that god was the creator...he just created the laws of nature and physics as they are right now, he precisely set the values of elementary particls to such that they can eventually support life on a small planet earth that orbits an average star sun in a galaxy and will give rise to a species called as human beings out of which one will type this answer. Where there is no explanation possible to be given by science........i dont like saying this.....but we have to believe....in the supreme almighty god that knows everything.

I don't believe in God. Not because I have never seen HIM, I just have an intellectual view of the bible (and yes, I have read it and studied it intensively). For me the answer is simple, we believe in GOD because we were taught to. Because we were raised in a mostly christian society that says there is a God. If I were to have been born elsewhere, I would have been taught to practice Buddhism, or I might believe in some Thunder God in deepest African jungles, (not sure of any God's from their religions, please excuse my ignorance).
You get my point.. we believe, simply because we are taught to believe.

I agree with Buddhist, who has answered earlier. Yes we have been taught t believe in GOD. We do not have answers for everything happening around us. GOD is one easy solution for solving many of the problems. If I start thinking rationally and refuse to believe in GOD then I have to take extra strain to understand many things around me. So, I take the easier path, the line of least resistance. So I am comfortable in believing GOD

It is the living human beings only who can see God. Those who believe in Him have the only chance. So believe in Him.
