Why should I follow you?

Can someone out there give me a good reason to believe the tenets of a religion? I don't care if I go to hell so please use another one. Or what do you think? Is god a being equipped with emotions? How do we know? Is your holy book really the word of god? How do you know? If you know because your parents ar another human told you then don't you think that's a little suspect? Tell me a little bit about god then tell me how you know. If you do that I will return the favor. I do know a little something about god and I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
