Because He's not just my God - He's the God of all creation.
Because He's not some distant, unknowable God - He's the God who reached down to mankind and dwelled among us to provide the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He's the God who loves you and is willing to accept you, flaws and all, if you will only put your faith in Christ and His sacrifice on your behalf. He has the power to change your life for the better. He's the God who encourages you to cast all your anxieties on Him because he cares for you. He's the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort.
He's the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End - the God who said, "To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life."
It's entirely your choice to believe or disbelieve, but even our disbelief is without excuse: "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
And finally, He's the God to whom you will have to give account when your time on this earth is over. We were all created by the same God, and some day we will all return to the same God to give an account of our lives on the Day of Judgement. In this lifetime, it's entirely your decision to make, but God urges each one of us to "choose life."

You should discover for yourself what to believe, and how you want to believe.
Sounds like you want to believe, and you are challenging anyone from any religion to show you what to believe.
That is something you have to discover for yourself.
Go to a book store, buy a book about world religions.
Find what suits you.
You'll get no argument out of me. It's not up to me to force anyone to believe in G-d. I don't think that's what G-d wants me to do anyone.
Forced love isn't the same as willing love.
Anyone knows that.

You shouldn't. You should believe - or not believe in whatever god or gods you want and my opinion shouldn't mean crap all in your selection.

My God is every-body's GOD. You don't have to believe in my GOD, but I hope and pray your GOD wants you to believe in: "Treat others like you would like others to treat you."; "Love the neighbor and Love one another." No matter how much religion or lack of religion will separates us from loving one another but my FAITH in GOD will always teach me to love unconditionally. HAVE A GOOD LIFE! AMEN! SHALOM!

The one true God has given each and every one of us the gift of free will.
You have the ability to make your own decisions, to act the way you want and to say the things you want. You also have the ability to accept the love and mercy of the one true God, and the salvation of your eternal soul thru His Son, Jesus...or to reject.
We also have the consequences (responsibility) of our words and deeds.
Believe as you wish. It's YOUR free will. I've chosen my path.

There is nothing called as your god and my god. There is only one god. We call him with different names. That's all

IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD
I AM THE BEGINNING AND THE END
HOPE THAT HELPS, EVERYTHING ELSE IS A PAGAN GOD
