God is anywhere good is. Everything good is from God. Everything bad is from the devil.

But why?

Why would you believe this to be the case? It is so simplistic, and dare I say, silly.... And still, why? What reason do you have to believe everything good comes from God, and everything evil comes from the devil? The Bible tells you? As we've seen the last few pages, almost every Christian here takes a very different stance on how seriously to take the Bible. Because you know God exists by this warm fuzzy feeling you get in your heart? Maybe that is just taking comfort in the thought that you have a giant invisible friend who has got your back, and who you can take reassurance that people who do "evil" things will always have to pay in the end.

Hmmm...I believe it because I pray to God every single day and I know He is watching over me. I think it isn't silly at all. With regards to your comment on Biblical interpretation, I am Roman Catholic, which means that the books in the Bible are basically supporting documents that confirm what we already know, which is the faith passed down from Jesus to the apostles and then through the centuries for 2000 years.
