Why are you a believer in god?

Can't imagine, or are terrified of, being dead, gone, non-existant? So you think up this idea of life after death. Man created god because they were full of fear, unable to understand so many many things, it was an easy answer to relieve their fear. Or they created him to enstill fear into children to prevent them from doing wrong things because if they did they would burn in hell for eternity. Who knows....

Unfortunately the idea never died and it just kept growing and growing, causing more trouble than it solved.

Sure it sounds great, the idea of life after death, and why wouldn't it!
