God wasn't man made. He has always existed. He has revealed Himself to us. If there wasn't God, then how could man have imagined one?

Because He is not a man-made character. Alot of people are running around saying man made God, but actually, God made man. They choose not to believe that because they don't want to face the fact they will be held accountable for what they do in life. The loudest voices are all too often the only voices that get heard. Listen to all sides of the story. And it does make perfect sense to believe God exists. Our belief or denial of something does not determine whether or not it is true. We cannot determine the truth, we can only discover it. Take care .

An eternal God, beyond time, needs nothing at all. It doesn't have wants because it is a perfect being. It lacks nothing. It can never be improved, because it is already perfect. God knows every possible experience; it cannot "fall in love", as God is love. If love is good, then God would have created everything in a state of permanent love, with no evil or suffering. If free will was required, then God must kill itself and disappear forever. That would be the ultimate sacrifice in order to allow free will. A perfect God, if it wants free will, would kill itself for love. If God's love is meaningful, and yet God cannot choose evil, then it makes no sense to say that in order for Humankind's love to be good, it does need evil.

Because people frequently believe what they wish to believe as opposed to whats true.
For instance I'm always talking to people who believe that AIDS isn't a real problem in Africa and its all a conspiracy concocted by "les blancs", malaria is caused by the sun, and I once saw my land lady having the village witch doctor rubbing a chicken on her head to cure the boil on her foot.
It's not just in the third world. My mother believes in the healing power of sugar pills. My father believes ice crystals reflect emotions. Many Americans are taken in by faith healing hucksters.
As Bertrand Russel said "Most people would rather die then thing, many do."

2000 years ago? That God is Jesus Christ. We Hindus have believed in God for over 5000 years !!
so we named a Supernatural power 'God' - but there is a definitely a super power in existence - you can call Him God, Allah, Jesus, Krishna - anything you want.

Because they have reason enough to believe in His existence outside their own minds ie not man made but that we are God made.

People are predisposed by the structure of and interactions among parts of the brain to believe in something. Belief is necessary in our efforts to order our experience of the world
