Well an imaginary God would be doing nothing Good for this world. Thankfully my GOD is Real and he Created the world I guess that is one good thing.

Kept the world population down.
It has made it possible for human beings, for thousands of years, to stick artificial labels on their foreheads, point at each other, and say, 'ah, you're not one of us, are you? So, die.'
From the Crusades all the way to the WTC, it's been mankind's most convenient and intellectually lazy method for concealing their baser reasons for rubbing each other out.
'I do this for a higher cause. I am a warrior of (insert any fictional character you can think of - Jesus, Allah, Hobbes, The Tooth Fairy) - hence I am not humanly responsible for what I am about to do now.'
(e.g. raping and then setting fire to this Gujarati Muslim woman while chanting Hindu mantras, burning down this Christian church filled with praying children, destroying this Hindu temple after stabbing its priests, and on and on and on in the endless, age-old cycle of 'repaying' each other.)
What's the combined death toll, since organised religion came about, from all the atrocities that have been committed in its name?
The number isn't small.
If I ever had the chance of asking God about this (in whatever particular alias that's been concocted for him/her/it), I think s/he/it's defence would be:
'I am not responsible for acts committed in my name(s). I didn't carry them out; I am blameless. And how could I have prevented them? After all I'm not G - oh...yeah...wait...I am...'
(Uncomfortable silence as Supreme Being thinks for a while, then snaps his fingers:)
'Wait, I know! I love you too much to interfere! Hah, gotcha!'

Nothing. God is real, but because of free will he can't do anything. Everything "bad" that is happening in this world is what we wanted to happen. God loves us enough to not interfere.

Check out England and the United States of America. How did they get to where they are now? Protestantism, baby. Hard work, virtue. That will trump your fate acceptance every time.

He isn't in my imagination now but he has started a few wars and killed millions of people from other people's imagination. But nothing good. But still they say he loves every one. I guess logic isn't something a christian is common with. Say no to jesus

humanity would have needed a huge number of police and same number of shrinks if the faith in God was not there. it would have become unmanageable, even Pluto has accepted this fact.

A persons "imagination" cannot "Do" anything to the "world.
A living Christ, however can and does.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD IS IMAGINARY THEN WHY WASTE YOURSELF 5 POINTS?

He has given you free will!!! If you choose to abuse it, that remains your choice; I like the quote; "I would rather believe and find out I was right, rather than not believe and find out I was wrong".
