Is that comforting or perhaps a little disturbing to those who may not believe in God??

Perhaps... But what if he only exists in our imagination?

If a god existed, then why would he/she/it/they even CARE if we believed or not? Is god really that egotistical, insecure, or vainglorious? Is god offended if ants, whales, and geckos don't believe in him?
God is supposed to be infinite in all his attributes. That means he is much farther above us in power than we are above, say, an ant in Zimbabwe. So if none of us are concerned that ants on the other side of the globe aren't singing our praises, why should a god be concerned about a few pesky freethinkers?
To those who do not believe in gods, your question is moot. It is neither comforting nor disturbing. It would be like asking a xtian if it comforts or disturbs him that the gods of the Greek Parthenon believe in him, even if he doesn't believe in them.

Do you imagine the human race changed into pre-programmed with the expertise of God? I doubt it. The primitive people, probably, did no longer have any God, yet they feared rains, hailstorms and so on.. in a while even as they learnt farming, as a change of fearing rain, they all started worshiping it. even as there have been woodland fires, they feared it. yet even as hiya learnt to roast meat in hearth, they all started worshiping it. it truly is how the terror of the unknown originated and as guy learnt to regulate those difficulty, the terror receded. quickly guy learnt better and at the moment there are only some those who do not comprehend that fireside isn't something yet a chemical reaction that provides out warmth. Coming decrease back for your question, "loose Will" is proper and substantial because as we detect better truths, we attempt and forged away previous superstitions. i'm no longer disputing the existence of God, neither endorsing it. to respond to your question: "Why does "loose will" contain determining even if we believe God exists?" We must have "loose Will" to challenge the existence of God so as that the pretend concern of God does no longer forestall us from understanding the fact and so as that sensible adult adult males like Galileo aren't any further murdered contained in the call of religion.

I don't believe in God. And your question is neither comforting nor disturbing for me...

The Creator is well aware that most of us will not believe in Him. Even those who say that they believe in Him are also false. But He is sure that few will find Him and for them the whole world is. One among a thousand may serach him and one among those search him will meet him.

For those who don't believe in god, it's neither. That's just word play, it still doesn't make god(s) real

Well, they also say that he created us by copying himself, if that's is true, and looking at humans (christians) with power, it scares the hell out of me if he really exist.

It is a good bit of logic. If you don't believe, then the first premise is not correct for you, and therefore it is illogical.
