Now, Christians/ religious people- Why do you believe in God ?

I asked athiests to explain their unbelief and got all really good answers. Now, Christians, why do you believe what you do? Were you raised Christian, did you have an experience, did God reveal Himself to you in some way, and do you question your belief? I would like real answers, not preaching please.

Update:

Only one sincere answer? Come on Christians. Where is your witness to the world?WHY do you believe?

    I believe because I chose to. I was not raised a Christian, and my mom in fact is in an Asian religion and her side of the family has always believed in very strange things (I was raised by her in fact). How God has revealed himself to me is for myself to know, since I was the only one who experienced it I cannot use my experience to convert anyone else - they have to experience God on their own. I've questioned my beliefs, at times I've rebelled against it, and I continue to seek evidence, but I am never disappointed, in fact the more I research the more clear everything becomes and the more firmly my faith is planted.

    I am not religious, but I am going to tell you what I think about god. I think someone made him up, the bible too. Think about it, when the bible was written, people were very gullible, they would believe anything. I think they started to believe it and it just got more and more popular. The only thing the christian religion has is the bible, hundreds of millions of people believe in god because of one book. That's it, one book, they have no proof, they have never seen him, or anything that has to do with him, no matter what they say. Plus, if Jesus can put himself on the cross and die for all mans sins, then anyone could do it.

    I believe what my heart tells me to believe. I just know that God,

    for me, is the most powerful influence that I have. He has answered prayers for me and I give Him my whole-hearted thanks.
