As much as the Easter Bunny.
Sorry, honey. I'll settle for loving and being loved by family and friends. It's more productive. And for taking responsibility for my own life, with all the mistakes and triumphs.

Rhetorical question. You are just looking for people to agree with your statement, there is no question involved here.
So how do you explain the billions of people alive on this earth who do not believe as you do but whom also jobs, money family health and many other great things? If your version if god gives you these things for believing why do the majority of the world have these things also? Why do some who disbelieve what you do have better jobs more wealth are happier in their family lives and all the other great things than some in your faith?

"It is written the [sic] The Bible that God loves us." So? That same book also says that rabbits chew cud, and that insects have four legs.
"We have got jobes , money , families , health ,,, and many other great things."
Not all of us--thousands of people die of starvation alone every day. Why would God allow this, especially when it's an innocent child who never even had a chance at living a full life?
"Do u think that God is the one behind that all?"
Only if I believed in a malicious god. But malicious or not, there is no evidence that there is any god, and in fact, the christian God is a self-contradiction and therefore is obviously not real:
====================
I can say with 100% certainty that God (capitalized to mean the Christian god), as Christians define him, doesn't exist. I can say this because God, as he is defined, is a self-contradiction, and a self-contradiction can't exist.
Example: one can also say with 100% certainty that a square with 21 sides does not exist. Not because one has searched every iota of existence without finding it, but because a 21-sided square is impossible, being a self-contradiction. Same thing with someone who weighs 150 and 250 pounds at the same time--another self-contradiction that can't exist.
I'm going to prove that the Christian God is a self-contradiction like the examples above, and therefore ALSO can't exist:
The Christian God is defined as perfect, and also as a creator (it isn't really important what God created or didn't create, just that he created something). To be perfect is to be complete. To be complete is to lack nothing. Desire can only exist when there is a lack of something (that something is what is desired). Therefore, since God is perfect, he desires nothing. Since he desires nothing, obviously he would not desire to create anything. A perfect being would do nothing but exist, because actively DOING something would imply a desire (to do whatever it is), which a perfect being cannot have by definition.
Therefore, an entity who is both perfect and a creator is a self-contradiction that cannot exist, just like a 21-sided square. Since Christians define their god this way, one can say with absolute certainty that this god does not, indeed, cannot exist.

Yes. I believe he rewards us for doing his will. When I was drinking, doing drugs, and being evil, I did not receive as many blessings as I do now. I lost my job and my self-confidence at that time. He has blessed me with a great family, a good job, and health. I still have problems, but nothing that God can't handle.

Yes I believe we were given all things by God and that he loves me so much that he sent his son to save us. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that was the best free gift I could ever have. I believe everything else is God's plan for my life trials and triumphs and I hope to walk the best walk with Christ as my mentor and the Holy spirit who teaches me through Gods' word. I'm thankful for everyday that I have to thank God for!

The things of this world are small, short-term treasures compared to what is prepared for those who believe. I know God loves me because He has prepared a place for me, that I might live eternally. And this gift was not earned for my wages are death, but God sent His son to pay my debt. I thank the Lord and I know that He loves us all.

I know God loves me. I feel Him by my side, I feel the warmth of His embrace and I feel His hand in my hand guiding me.
