What if God didn't exist and we all believed it in the same way.

Would the Jihad wage a war that kills inncocent children, men and women?
Would we be motivated to help the poor?

Much of what happens in the world is the result of those who manifest him, whether he exists or not. People are dieing because people believe in God. The poor and the weak are being helped because people believe in God. People are getting rich because others believe in God. Paintings and music that have survived for centuries have been created because people believe in God.

God exists to those who believe because they believe.

Is there a God as an entity located at some heavenly address? Is God a ball of light, a burning bush, a disembodied voice?

If we were made in his image, then God is like us. So maybe the question is - does God think we exist? Does he still believe in us?

For those who believe he exists, God believes in them, because they choose to believe that he does. Does he really exist? The only real answer is to have faith - and realize you have a 50 - 50 chance of being right.
