I figure, if god really cares about me enough, he will give me some reason to believe. So far, nothing.

1) I don't know about you specifically. Some people won't believe, and God knows it...
Romans 9:22 What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction?
Some people are appointed for wrath specifically so God can demonstrate His wrath.
2) Yes. God's ways and God's plans are higher than man's ways and man's plans. God's plan will work out.
3) Why don't you believe? Could be a number of reasons...
Pride - This is the most common reason people don't believe and repent of their sins.
Love for Self - When you love your own evil desires more than your love for God. It simply proves the validity of the bible that man without Christ is an enemy to God. You hate God. How? Every time you lied, stole, looked at porn, or blasphemed the name of God you're showing God that you hate Him.
God gets what He wants. Only you can answer if you are a vessel appointed to eternal damnation or appointed to eternal glory, and unless are born again, you'll never see the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus said 'do not fear those who kill the body, but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.'

God wants you to make up your mind for yourself
God allows because he gives freewill.
You can not begin to believe unless you have faith.
On a personal note,you really need to use a Capitol G when speaking about God. You belittle the Maker of heaven and earth by using a small g , that is reserved for false gods.
I mean you may not even be aware of it. If you cannot recognize the Creator respectfully ,how do you expect him to recognize you?

1. no
2. yes.
You don't believe because you don't want to believe, and he has called you to believe, because of the same questions or ideas you have about him. If I was God , I wouldn't want a child questioning his love for me, so I could care less if you believed or not. So probably that's what it is..
Why are you bothered by the fact if you believe or not"? that's interesting to me more than anything else.. you should look into that.

1. God does want us to believe.
2. God gave us free will to choose whether or not we believe.
3. You don't believe because you choose to not believe

God wishes no one to perish but for all to come to an understanding of the truth.Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.If you want to believe then do something about it.What is the matter with you people,do you think God has to do everything or he's not God? Wake up.

God wants us to believe and He will have everyone believing in Him one day. If you don't believe in Him now, you will later...too late later if you know what I mean.
however, I think you misunderstand God. Maybe He wants quality not quantity. He want us to choose to love him not necessarily have everybody love or else He would have just stuck with having angels

Because he gave you free will. You rather choose your own route than his. At the end, God will still be waiting for you.

actually yes he does. He wants you to believe. but he doesn't want you to be forced into it. So he actually does get what He wants because he wants you to believe in Him willingly. and after death, if you don't believe in Him here, you will get a chance there.

Maybe god just doesnt like you, see....and he's making you disbelieve in him so he can hurt you later on and not look like he's a maniacal sociopathic-type god who is out of control and drunk with power. Sort of reminds me of George W Bush, but that wasnt your question, sorry.
