As real as your willingness to believe. When you were a kid, you believed with every fiber of your being that Santa Claus was real, right? (Assuming you're an average American) Your parents could get you to eat your veggies, clean you room and be nice to your little sister just so Santa would reward your good behavior. The alternative was a lump of coal in your stocking!
Once you found out what Santa was all about, it crushed you at first to have your belief shattered, but you understood the reasons behind the ruse and now see Santa as a happy hero to keep naiive children happy and well mannered.
To parallel, God can get you to pray, stop swearing, be nice to people you don't like, and be a good person just so God would reward your good behavior with an afterlife in Heaven. The alternative is eternal pain, torture and suffering in Hell!
Christians believe with every fiber of their being, atheists feel that they don't need God to be a good person and Christianity is just there to keep naiive people happy and well mannered.
It's up to each person to figure out what they need. The arguments fly when each side insists that the other is wrong.

Yep- As real as real gets. He is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and Omega- and there is no other god besides Him. Read John 1:1
God created the heavens and the earth- he established everything in it. And he is forever- he is the same yesterday today and forever! He is also in control of everything and holds our breath in his hands. What a mighty God we have!

God is so real. Just look at the majesty of the mountains or the ocean or anything. Look at your own body. How it all works. The eyes, hands, fingers. It's amazing. There's no way we were formed by accident or by evolving. God created Adam and Eve and throught them we got here.

God conciousness is real, religious devotion is real, but God is a lovely idea. Man invented God to keep him company through the lonely, cosmic night, I'm afraid.

Anything can be real, even things that's not. It depends if you believe in it or not. For one who believes in a god, the god is real for those who do not, the believe in that particular god sounds absurd.

There is no evidence of any kind to indicate that god is real.
Lots of people believe he or she is, and that's fine...but there's nothing to prove he or she is real in any way, does anything that affects anyone's life here on earth, had anything to do with "creation" of you, the earth, or the universe...

yes God is real.
u can do several test to prove its real..
1) by holy books.
2) by all existances in this world
3) by logics and knowledges
u have to understand what is God.
God is our creator, thus God has all the ability that human dont have, he knows everything, he has no limit like human do. He love kindness and hate all bad thing.
If there is God, he knows everything that human do not knows and have the power over this all universe.

Yes he is and it will never change, god created heaven and earth in 6 days and rested on the 7th. If you go to a store and ask for a bible read it, then you will know, but you just jhave to believe with you hear/ brain that god lives but we cannot se him. you will one day go to heaven but you have to have the holy sprit and be batised and believe he dieid on the cross to save and forgive our sins god sent his beloved son to die o the cross for us. Was that out of subject?

The question isn't really relevant.
Is He real to you? He can be as real as the day is long, but you're not going to benefit from that reality until He is real to you.
