That people can imagine everything and -- depending on how scared they are -- they can believe anything.

You know the world through your perceptions others see beyond the physical and see spiritual things by faith through the revelation of God. It would be impossible for anyone to know there is no God and would not take perception but spiritual blindness to decide that which we already know we no longer know.

I think that the question is not well-formed. Since the existence of a god isn't something that can be objectively measured at the present time, the existence of "no god" isn't something that can be perceived now either. These are questions of faith.
Perhaps better questions might be: What are things that could be measured to justify a hypothesis that a god exists? What kinds of instruments could be developed to measure those phenomena?
Hope that is helpful.

the question should rather be:
We know our world through sensory perceptions. What perception would we need to perceive God.

there is no way of knowing that there is no God. but going with the "seeing is believing" method is just plain stupid! you can't see love, but you know it's there. you can't see oxygen, but you know it's there. those are things we couldn't live without in this world, and those things were given to us by God. when you pray, and I mean really pray, and you repent and you ask for forgiveness and beg for mercy, and you feel that warm tingly sensation running through you, that is God letting you know he is listening.
It's much better to believe there is a God than to not. What if there is? In the end of your time here, you discover those "perceptions" were true that he is real, but you messed up not following Him and not believing, your soul burns eternally. Yes, it is much better to believe in something you can not see than to blow it off as a perception. If in the end you discover there is no God, at least you didn't ruin your chances if there were!

Don't be fooled by the optical illusion."God"is so intricately woven within the fabric of "the world".There are ways of seeing/perceiving that allow you to see past the illusion.I would open your inner eyes.

for me it became a common sense issue. after years of brainwashing, I realized that I must be crazy to talk about getting help from an imaginary person. My perception was way off. I realized that all of the teachings didn't make sense and was in no way realistically possible.

It's not that I 'know' -- I left that kind of certitude behind along with the creed I was raised in -- it's that I can find nothing that I choose to say is God.
If something happens that gives me reason to change that, so be it. That's what makes life fascinating.

You don't need to believe in god, all you need is to embrace peace, love and compassion.
