Why do you believe in God or not?

All or nothing is unacceptable to me. Religion says one thing, reality says the other. With religions you have to buy the whole package. If you cherry pick what you believe, you’re just telling yourself what you want to hear.
There is too much evidence against god for me to ignore , and not enough for him to make him believable. .

@DocSavage usually when religions cherry pick the bible, they just follow the parts that are easy. For example, they love to talk about how being gay is a sin but they flat out ignore the parts about greed or wearing clothing of mixed threads, or the parts about what you're not supposed to eat like pork,

And plus since sin is not avoidable no matter how hard you try, I mean even having impure thoughts is considered a sin. So if someone were to try to live a holy life they would be in constant guilt. So it's like why even bother to try to be righteous and holy and Christian and all that mess.
