I don't just WANT to believe in God, I DO believe in Him. Once I gave my life to God and have felt Him and "seen" Him, I can never again deny that there is a God.

Because it makes more sense than not believing in Him. If there is no God and the material universe is all there was, all there is, and all there will ever be, then intelligence, consciousness, and the like are merely illusions, the result of atoms (which don't have intelligence, consciousness, or any of those other things) bumping into each other. I don't claim that this is any sort of proof, but it seems more likely that we got those things from something that had them to give rather than something that doesn't.
"Fear of responsibility and fear of death. They don't have to take responsibilty for their actions or they can say a prayer and the sin just goes right away. They fear death so they hear about this afterlife where everyone goes and they get to see everyone they love forever and ever."
Thanks for the amateur psychological evaluation.

There is a God if you want to believe in him or not. I think it's more that some people don't want to believe in God, because then they have freedom to choose for themselves what is good and bad.
John 3:19-21
Now this is the basis for judgment, that the light has come into the world but men have loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were wicked. For he that practices vile things hates the light and does not come to the light, in order that his works may not be reproved. But he that does what is true comes to the light, in order that his works may be made manifest as having been worked in harmony with God.”
You're not expected to have blind faith, but you're expect to at least look into things to see whether it is true or not. Otherwise how are you able to say one way or the other.
