Well, without faith, the world would be rather dull. What if no one had faith that the sun would rise the next day? Does that mean that it wouldn't? What if no one had faith that the world is round? Would that not make it flat in our own mind's eye, despite what truth we know?
I was raised Babtist, but am not now. My husband is Catholic, but I am not. I simply beleive that someone, or some thing, must be there (wherever that is) to see over things, to see over people. I put everything aside I had learned since childhood, and started looking into other religions, and I found this out :most otf the world's religions have some deity, some god/s, that they beleive in. Now, using logic here, it only makes sense that all this masses of people, over many years, can't be completely wrong. Surely people, as a whole, aren't that ignorant. I mean, with all the scientific advances we've made, we can't be that stupid as a species, right?
Anyway, call it what you will, but I think that there must be at least one entity (not wanting to sound biased by saying 'god' or 'goddess' or giving any names) 'out there' for us humans.
If offended anyone, it wasn't meant, and completely sorry if I have!

Existence of God: facts and figures Does God exist?
If you are a theist... you already believe in the Existence of God! If you are an atheist... you look forward to clues which would scientifically or otherwise prove the Existence of God.
Both the theories are correct. It is only saying that the glass is half full and the other half empty! Belief in the Existence of God stems from extreme faith in the system of God the Almighty Creator. Being on the highest level of manifestation... human beings understand that nothing gets created on its own.
If we believe in the fact that the whole cosmos is the creation of God then we believe in the surmise that "God Does Exist". On the contrary atheists desire a proof of Existence of God. As per Jainism beliefs there is no Existence of God and they do not believe in the existence of a Creator. According to Jainism the Cosmos exists from times immemorial.
Believing in the Existence of God is like believing in the existence of a flower. Even though a flower may not be directly visible to us but we can feel its presence by the fragrance it emits... God also exists but we cannot see it due to the limitations of the senses. God the Almighty is beyond the capture of the senses and the mind.
Why is it so that strong nonbelievers of God tend to believe in God the moment they face abnormal adversities in life. The sweet small voice which seems to come from within the body... the voice of our soul the atman within... is it not God in its miniscule form guiding us always and ever? Does it not confirm the Existence of God in its entirety?
Why do we at all require more proofs regarding Existence of God? The movement of the stars, the planets and the cosmic system as a whole... is it not governed by the invisible hands of God the Almighty Creator of the Cosmos.
Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred of all Scriptures existing on Mother Earth confirms the existence of the Almighty God. As narrated in Bhagavad Gita... God the Almighty explains the reasons of exploding the self... the start of the journey of the various Souls Atmans... and creation of the Cosmos itself.
If there was no God the Almighty Creator... then the concept of big bang theory itself would have failed prematurely. No God... no big bang theory... no creation of the Cosmos and there would never have been a solar system nor our Mother Earth and even us.
If we do not believe in the Existence of God it is for the reason that senses and the mind are unable to provide a logistical end to our arguments... we need to believe in the fact that God the Almighty Creator is not the form of a human being... neither it has any other form whatsoever.
God the Almighty Creator has to be a gaseous formation! Looked upon from the angle of the senses and the mind we perceive the whole cosmos to be made up of solid matter and it is this surmise which does not allow us to peep beyond the limitations of the senses and the mind.
If we are to believe in the Existence of God... we need to remember that the whole cosmos is made up of the basic building block of the nature... the atoms and the molecules. And beyond the clusters of the atoms and the molecules nothing else exists in the whole Cosmos except Ether which accounts for the empty black space in the Cosmos.
Whatever be the form of God... it is definitely in the form of energy and that too pure energy. It is a different matter that during the time of the big bang... this cluster of pure energy we know as God (the combined power of all the purified souls Atmans in their pristine state is what we know as God the Almighty Creator) scatters all over the Cosmos.

I can't argue my beliefs, they just seem right to me based on my own life experiences. I believe there is an unseen cosmic force that governs the laws of nature, the universe, time, and probability. Some call this force God, but I don't think that term applies to my definition. Unlike the traditional view of most God figures, nothing it does to us is done for our own sake. Everything that happens, good and bad, happens in the larger context of simply making the world go 'round. I don't believe this force is aware of us, or anything else for that matter. It doesn't reward, it doesn't punish, it doesn't judge at all. It just is.

God did not create man but ancient man (who believed that the Earth was flat) who created God. Somethings wrong with a God concept that has taken over 100 million lives and encourages the followers to ignore it.

Yes, but not the christian, vengeful, grude-holding God. The God that created everything and welcomes everyone with open arms exists. Within everyone, not just Christians.

God's existence does not depend upon our approval
He does not cease to exist if we all deny Him
He Exists because He EXISTS

If you can prove we all exist on our own then end of argument.

He absolutely does exist. Without a doubt. If not, where did everything come from?
