Who says all gods are imaginary? You? And your Mass of education, life experience, and wisdom has brought you to this conclusion?
The fact that you think that the Christian and every other god are different means you have never studied religion, the Christian bible teaches us that our God is the same god of the Jews, and the Muslims, and anyone else, he is one God, each culture has seem him to reflect their beliefs and culture.
The main difference is that the Christian God placed a part of himself into a human form, and called that form Jesus, and son, giving that God gave us his only begotten son.
So I put the question to you, if you are right and there is no god, when I die, being a believer, there is no way for me to find out this when I die, then I lived my life with a belief and a morality that most people today do not even know, and no harm no foul, your right, who cares.
But if I am right and you being a non believer dies, and your brought before the final judgment, everything that I have been taught since a child says that you will go to hell, so if I am right, you get to spend eternity in a torment that your very being, your soul, will never get a rest from.
So you choose, either way both of us will be dead, but I will have hundreds of people from my family and church that will remember me, and you, you will be remembered until after they spread your ashes into the toilet, or until they stick your carcass into the ground.

People believe in whatever gods they believe in, be they Christian or non because many of us still need something to believe in. Carrying the weight of life alone isn't an easy task, so sometimes it is easier if there is a higher power to shoulder the burden for us.
There is no proof that any of the gods are imaginary. They came from somewhere, and they do say that every story starts someplace and is based loosely in the realm of fact.

Fear is the giding principle behind all god worship, including JC and all the others. The truth is people have a pre-disposition for belief in the supernatural...cavemen believed that fire was a god...egyptians believed that the nile river overflowing meant the gods were angry.
Belief in JC is no different than believing that there is a direct correlation between the increase of natural disasters to the decrease in the number of pirates in the world.
christians get so bent out of shape by this idea that JC is truth because it has been inculcated into their fearful brains for about 2000 years....Much like the belief that the earth was flat, belief in JC or other gods will eventually be disproved with the advance of humanity

Even if we do live in the age of science and technology, we are still skeptical about life. Frankly speaking no one knows for sure where and how life starts, or how does it end or where does all these complex processes lead to. People are logical and scientific, but there is something which keeps them fixed to the unseen power, that is faith and the believe in God. We may never find the answer to all these questions. But I think it is not only the Christian God they believe in, everyone in this world has faith in his/her own God, i.e. faith and strong believe which keeps them alive and stable for times to come.

All gods are not imaginary
they come in spirit form to destroy mankind
find out who they are and become aware of them
Bind and cast them back into hell
they in fact are the gods of hell
And about The Christain God
take a look at the existence of yourself
You are created in God's image
And you have no duplication
of yourself
you are the blue print of all that you are
Praise God the Creator of Heaven and Earth
Strive to become like Christ
for your home awaits you
in the everlasting perfection of all that you are

Do you know the Truth when you hear it? All of our souls know the truth. Ourselves as individuals here will only know the truth when we will allow ourselves to accept it. The biggest lie the enemy has ever tried to use on us is that Jesus never existed. If your physical mind does not believe in Your creator, You will not feel His presence. He won't be there helping you succeed in life and pour out good things your way. You will have to completely rely on yourself, only your capabilities while hoping to steer clear of all the negative things that come our way. However, I promise, the minute you sincerely believe and say it with your mouth with a pure and thankful heart, He will be right beside you. You will no longer Be on your own. If God is for you who can be against you? God Bless

Where did you come up with that idea? There is one God, the father, one Son of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit which makes up the trinity of one God. It's hard to explain it. You just have to experience it I suppose. Keep searching for answers. I did and I found that I like Christianity the best of all religions.

who says God is imaginary? Nature shows us that there is a Creator and I believe that the Creator is the God in the Holy Bible

You can't really ask that question without giving evidence to support that all gods are imaginary.
If all gods ARE imaginary, it would be silly for Christians to continue to believe in their God. However, there is no proof that all gods are imaginary, nor is there any proof that they are real. Therefore, it is up to each individual person to decide what he or she BELIEVES to be true, since there is no PROOF either way.

"Many orthodox people speak as though it were the business of sceptics to disprove received dogmas rather than of dogmatists to prove them. This is, of course, a mistake. If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time." ~ Bertrand Russell, "Is There a God?" commissioned by, but never published in, Illustrated Magazine (1952: repr. The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell, Volume 11: Last Philosophical Testament, 1943-68, ed. John G. Slater and Peter Köllner (London: Routledge, 1997), pp. 543-48, quoted from S. T. Joshi, Atheism: A Reader
"We are all 'teapot atheists'... I just happen to believe in one fewer teapots than you do." ~ Richard Dawkins, commenting on Bertrand Russell's 'teapot' vignette
