Before anyone writes "He doesn't, it's you that should want to believe!", think of this: I'm living my life well, I am perfectly content with where my life is and where it's going. I do not feel the need whatsoever to believe in God to improve the quality of my life. In fact, I know exactly what that is like (was raised Christian) and can say without any doubts that my life is better without the belief in a God.
Now, in most religions (minus Buddhism), there is a God/Allah/etc. that wants me to believe in him, and threatens eternal torment if I don't. To add on to this, he even tries to bribe me into doing so by offering an eternal paradise if I do believe in him.
My question is, why? Why does God feel the need that I should believe in him, does me doing so validate his existence or his work?
