God is as real as people believe God to be. In the history of mankind, all peoples on this planet have had a faith or belief in a supreme being or force. That makes the consensus universal, and the likely hood of a God to be real. Whether you believe or not is of course your choice, but the fact that you question is evidence of that universal consensus that God does exist.

No, I don't.
So, what *if* god is real? There's no evidence of any kind to show that his existence or non-existence makes any difference of any kind in anybody's daily life, in societies, in the natural running of our planet and its ecosystems (or storms, or earthquakes, or volcanos, or anything else), or in the operation of the natural laws governing our universe. Those who believe in him and follow him have lives no different in any substantial way from those who do not believe in him -- same lifespan expectancies, same diseases or lack thereof, same rates of crime, homosexuality, marital cheating, divorce, infant death, on and on. It's a clearly documented fact that a belief in god makes no material difference in anyone's life -- so even *if* he is real, what's the point of believing in him if it does absolutely nothing for a person? Why go through all the ritual, self-deprecation, worship behavior, angst over "sin," lectures from religious leaders, intellectual blinders, etc. if there's no benefit?
Oh, ok, it makes you "feel" better. Fine, watching a pretty sunrise makes me feel better, and I don't have to give 10% of my income to the sunrise or turn off my brain when presented with a challenge to religious dogma...:)

What if He is? Anything is possible. It's always possible that the sun will rise in the west and set in the east. It isn't bloody likely, but it's possible.*
Mind you, I accept that God is real. Of course, I don't see Him the same way that others might. My God is a tanned, muscular man with leaves for hair and beard, and antlers.

Yeah course there can. I don't believe in the 'god' that was supposed to have started this but then if there were a god why is there so much hurt, and destruction? If he were here and so superior should this not be happening? There's no protection, we are taught to look after ourselves.

If it was proven beyond any reasonable doubt that there was "God" & "Jesus" or whatever they may be, then we probably wouldn't have so many wars or conflicts as many of them originated around different "beliefs" (Iraq & Ireland to name just two). ButI personally don't have any beliefs & if it was proven to be true, then that would change me as a person. People wouldn't have their personalities that make them who they are today.

If we knew whether God is definitely real we would have a lot less to think and wonder about.
The value of having unanswerable questions!! We can spend hours debating with ourselves and others, expanding our minds, developing our relationships with humankind
Some would say that that's what God put us on this earth to do.....

If GOD is real then he was also real all the time, no?
So everything will be the same don't expect there will be a change.
And if GOD is not real, the same answer as above is also valid.
So in any case don't worry.

WHAT IF questions do not deserve thought... WHAT IF your dog suffocated you in the middle of the night?
If this God is real, then he probably will eternally torment the souls of the idiots who claim to kill/judge others/do anything in his name.

God is real, He did create everything that lives in the universe including the universe and yet he sent his son down to die for our sins and we still doubt! thank him for being so forgiving and loving to us. we are not deserving of it! and yet we still want proof of his existence. who are we to ask this of him?! not seeing is believing!!!!
