Because actions speak louder than words. Your beliefs are simply something you've been taught. Your actions betray your real nature. Which is why people, who claim to believe in afterlife - still sin. If someone can't stop themselves from dumb little pleasures, like gluttony, or masturbation, which put salvation at risk - THEY DO NOT BELIEVE. They're just faking it.
I believe in gravity. I have never tried walking off of a roof, because I "had doubts" about gravity, or "was tempted" to fly. I'm not retarded. And I'm supposed to believe, that other people would risk fate infinitely worse than death - Hell - just for a quick hand-job from some skank in the Safeway parking lot, or some such "forbidden" nonsense? BS. You can lie to yourself, if you want - I'm not buying it.
Also - are you poor? No? Then no - you DON'T believe in what Jesus said, about the rich people and heaven.
