I believe that the earth is too well-designed to be an accident.
I also believe that there must be something else after we die, because otherwise life would be pretty much meaningless.
I believe that there is a God, and only one.
(Since it seems you are asking specifically which/what God I believe in) I believe in the God of the Bible. :)
Every other god or so called "divine spirit/beings" I have ever heard of seem to come completely from man's concocted fantasies, but the God of the Bible is different. Not only does it seem historically viable, but the Bible is filled with accounts and displays of the wonders and character of God, and He is simply amazing. He is mighty and holy, all-powerful, all-knowing, He made the earth, the universe, and he truly loves us little humans people. -
I believe in the real God because he is powerful. He always existed and always will. Also, because he answers my prayers and helps me in life. He created everything wonderfully.

Boy, Dulcinea always has a way with words. I agree with her.
-
I somewhat believe in God, to an extent. I believe in not one god, or any gods. But more of the ‘concept’ of a god.
Like someone that watches, and makes things happen occasionally. But I don’t believe God is the reason behind the creation of Earth, I believe in science and technology.
The idea of Heaven is also one of those things that comforts me about death. Like another life so I won’t be afraid. But I don’t believe that it’s real, though it comforts me when I’m scared to die. -
Just because god doesn't do stuff all the time, it doesn't mean he'd not there
-
Ha ha haaaaaaaaaa ha HAAAAAAAAAAAAA rebellions. They will be wiped out on The Day. -thus saith the Lord
-
Repent of your evil and Worship the only true God that ye may not perish in the pits of hell. May the Lord show you mercy and the light that you may not be destroyed on that Day.

Hey, snowflake star, quit it.
I agree with Dulcinea as well. -
Ya, I'd say I do too.

So yeah I agree whit @Dulcinea!

Even dough I'm an Orthodox, not Catlike, but both Orthodox and Catlike religions are just one BIG Christian religion, I think you get it.

The devil is the king of deception. He uses
fear and other weapons against you so that
he can separate you from God. One way he
can do this is by getting you to believe in
various lies about God. He also wants you to
fall off your faith path, so you can live in sin.
The more you do this, the more you can rely
on him. You mustn’t allow the enemy to
control you. This is why it’s so important to
be aware of his tactics. Here are six lies the
devil whispers in your ear.
"You can only find happiness through
material possessions."
The devil will try his hardest to get you to
take your attention away from God. We live
in a society that is pushed by power, wealth,
and status. The devil wants you to think that
material possessions will make you whole
and complete. This is a complete lie. The
truth is anything we have on this earth is
temporary. God wants us to turn to Him first.
Acts 3:19 says, “Therefore repent and
return, so that your sins may be wiped
away, in order that times of refreshing may
come from the presence of the Lord.” If we
place our faith and hope in God, He will
never forsake us.
"Hell isn’t real."
The devil will whisper in your ear that hell
isn’t real. He wants us to believe that living a
life of sin is ok so that we are at odds with
God. He also wants us to wonder how a
loving God would send us to a place of
torment. This is a ridiculous lie that many
believers get caught up in believing. We
know from Scripture that hell is real.
Revelation 20:10 says, “And the devil who
had deceived them was thrown into the lake
of fire and sulfur where the beast and the
false prophet were, and they will be
tormented day and night forever and ever.”
God doesn’t’ send us to hell. Our brokenness
sends us there. God does everything in His
power to keep us from going there.

"The church is no more than a structure."
The devil will tell you that the church is
nothing more than a structure. Yet, we
know that the church is a body of believers.
Church means “an assembly” and is also
recognized as “the call out ones.” Ephesians
2:20-22 says, “Built on the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself
being the cornerstone, in whom the whole
structure, being joined together, grows into
a holy temple in the Lord. In him, you also
are being built together into a dwelling
place for God by the Spirit.” We also know
that the enemy has no dominate over the
church. Matthew 16:18 says, “And I tell you,
you are Peter, and on the rock, I will build My
church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it.” You may not think of this as a
significant lie, but if you believe the church
is an isolated group of people and not a
fellowship of Christ’s disciples, it can be
problematic. If you see the church as a
building, and not a body of believers, this
could keep you from sharing the gospel and
God’s message of love with those around
you.
"The devil has more power than God."
This is a lie he will whisper with great vigor.
The adversary wants you to think he is more
powerful than God so that you will lean on
His understanding, not God’s. The devil
wants you to listen to his voice only. The
way the devil’s voice is heard is through
anxiety, confusion, addiction, and
depression, among other things. The devil is
chaos. Instead of trusting in the devil and
his false promises, we need to trust God.
Proverbs 2:6 says, “Trust in the LORD with all
your heart and lean not on your own
understanding in all your ways submit to
Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
Don’t allow the devil to break you.
"God doesn’t care about you."
The devil wants you to believe that God
doesn’t have your back. This is a lie he will
whisper in your ear when you are at your
darkest, lowest point. He wants you to think
that God doesn’t love you because if He
cared, He would never put you in that
situation. Always remember God has an
incredible plan for your life, even when you
don’t know it or understand it. Isaiah 43:2
says, “When you pass through the waters, I
will be with you; and through the rivers,
they shall not overwhelm you; when you
walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.” God
always has your best interests in mind. Don’t
allow the enemy to tell you something
different.
"There is no life past earth."
The devil wants you to believe that the only
life we have is on this earth. If you think this,
then there is no need to worry about
anything because we simply exist, then die.
Sin doesn’t matter, and breaking God’s law
doesn’t matter according to the devil. We
can do anything we want with no
consequences to our faith life. He wants you
to believe that there is no reason to concern
yourself with God or life after death because
it isn’t real. This lie will devastate your life.
We know from Scripture and Jesus’
teachings that God promises salvation and
eternal life for those who believe in Him.
The devil is a con artist, with full intentions
of destroying your life. Don’t allow him to tell
you these lies and derail your faith walk. You
are stronger than his false promises. Allow
God to lead you on the path of
righteousness and salvation. He wants
nothing but the best for you. -
