If there are any Christians on this board that could tell me why I should believe in God, please do so.

I am a Christian, a very devout one at that. Since you have posted this as a challenge, rather than a serious inquiry, I shall respond in kind.
The challenge to each of us is to investigate truth-or more appropriately, claims of truth. It is incumbent upon you and you alone to investigate Christianity- or not to. The problem with asking people here to 'prove' Christianity is multi-faceted:
1. This site is rife with sectarianism. You will get conflicting answers
2. You will get conflicting answers here also because there are people here willing to speak at length about things that have no clue about
You will, no doubt, be able to defeat many of the answers given here. This will bring you no closer to settling the issue for yourself. You might claim that it's setteled for you, but if it was, you wouldn't be here posing questions, as if to reinforce your currently held beliefs.
So, in this spirit of candor, pleas allow me to be blunt and short:
Don't use the ineptitude of the self-appointed apologists here to dismiss Christianity or to reinforce your current beliefs. Have the integrity to either leave it aone, or get real answers from good sources. I can recommend books and articles on basic Christianity from Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox authors, if you would like.
Elsewise, feel free to play games with the rabble.
I wih you well
James
