Why God?

As I've encountered different people over the past few months, I've been faced with a question that I never really asked myself. . .why God?  There are people who live their lives, never having been to church or even considering the importance of a God or some divine being.  I grew up in a christian home and never even questioned the existence or need for God.

I wonder how many people just believe because they've never been allowed to question?  I wonder if questioning is good for our faith?  I believe it is, and I'm pretty sure God doesn't mind.  He said if we called on Him, He would answer, so my questions will never fall on deaf ears.

As for the "why God" question, I don't know that there is an answer!  Every reason I can think of as I'm writing this could be true or not, depending on who you are.  We think it's all about our "decision" to believe, but unless God calls you to faith. . .will you ever believe even the best "evidence"?  

I sure hope you all add your thoughts to this, I can't wait to hear what you think.
