Why don't you believe in a god?

I believe in god because I can be happier knowing that when I die, I'll go to heaven. If I don't believe, then I'll just die in the dirt. That's a very bad feeling. I don't like bad feelings. Therefore, I believe in god so that I can have a more positive state of mind.

If you believe just for the sake of believing, then I don't think you will die happy. If you understand what you believe in then you will probably die happy. It's in humans nature to ask him/herself about his/her origins and about the end.

I decided to do some research into different religions a while ago. There were so many questions that came up, it made me question if there really  was a god. I couldn't accept it, so I didn't question it and kept telling myself to believe. I guess you could say I'm lying to myself, but I'm cool with it.
