Throughout human existence/history, people always ask themselves The Question: "Is there a God?". This topic is important because every human being during lifetime will ask himself this question, especially when we are alone in solitude. We should emphasize the fact that we do not have an answer to this question, it was, is and it will be The question. I strongly believe, that everyone will ask themselves this question and that everyone will go through I believe, I do not believe and I do not know.
Firstly, from the psychological point of view, people who believe believe because they want to believe. The psychology gave us several arguments on why people believe in God. According to the psychology, because life is so hard and some people are unable to deal with daily life alone, they start believing that there is a God. This argument is tightly connected with the following example. For instance, when we are kids and we cannot carry something heavy on our own, we seek help from our parents, especially from our father. In addition, if we have a father who is there and who will help us in that moment and in every moment like that, we fell safety, security, tranquility, stability. In other words, we will believe in our father and count on him that he will be there for us when things become "heavy". Furthermore, when we get older and we can do everything by ourselves, our earthly/biological father is not necessary that much anymore, at that moment we need some higher entity, our heavenly father, God. Only because we had a good father and we could rely on him, we will probably believe and rely on God. From my personal experience, back in childhood in a small village, every year during sowing vegetables in the back yard, there was that father-son quality interaction. It was almost like in Hollywood movies or biblical scene. Therefore, because there was that quality interaction between father and son, the son have the predisposition to believe in God, he will just build on that, some higher belief, because he believed, and he still wants to believe.
You end up believing what you want to believe.
