But seriously, I don't know what you mean. If your asking why Christians believe in God, we have our reasons (the resurrection, philosophical arguments, etc).

2. God has peaceful and good thoughts toward us and our future, NOT evil thoughts.

Jeremiah 29:11

3. God, in the future, won't allow any more wars and wants to transform earth back to it's original "Garden of Eden" state.

19. God forgives us even when we break His commandments. (That doesn't mean we should keep doing it however)

Why what?

Talking about reasons, my best reason is that I feel He is.
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:21

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
-- Philippians 1:6
