God was created as a symbol of hope. Something that will keep us happy so that we might not fear death?

White dove you just contradicted yourself so horribly there.
"Something just didnt appear from nothing. That is impossable"
So if there was nothing before god created it, how did he get there. Yep i'm being persuaded

No he was created as a ctach-all explanation for the otherwise unexplainable. Notions of an after-life came later.

So, who do you think created the human brain that we use to conceive of God?
Studies, like that done by the University of Michigan, and features in the Discovery Channel program, The Amazing Life of the Human Brain, shows just how amazing the human brain is.
Every second while awake, we are absorbing 40MBs of data per second. That’s 144 gigabytes per hour and about 2 terabytes per day. That’s a lot of data even for the largest computer. When we sleep at night, and only at night or under nighttime conditions, all that data is sorted and stored through the creation of synaptic connectors and biochemical bounds. The brain has enough volume to allow for the creation of these storage connectors to last over 10,000 years.
Without the need of a creator, what evolutionary pressure could cause the need for this much volume that would take that long to fill? Clearly, man was either created by God to live that long, or if evolve, once lived that long, and has since de-evolved to what we are today. Which do you think it is?
Evolution does take place, in that animals have evolved and humans have de-evolved since the time of the creation. Many divergent species are related, such as the Meerkat/Hyena and the Lion/House cat. A house cat can breed with a lion, I wonder if the same is possible the Hyena and Meerkat?
This is why I believe in God. I use the brain he gave me, and designed for me, to determine something beyond imagining.

Quiet the opposite. If nothing existed after death, it would be the same feeling that you have when you go to sleep, but without the dreams. Think about how much you're aware of from the moment you fall asleep until you wake up. There is nothing fearful about closing your eyes and just not being aware of anything.

Not me. God is the creator. Something just didnt appear from nothing. That is impossable. Think about it. If you do believe that you have more faith than many people. Put it into use with HIm and just see how far God will take you

Definitely agree that mans creation of god(s) and for that matter religions in general is a direct result of the fear of death.

DISAGREE.
God is not "created." Rather, you are created. What we call "God" is that which did the creating, of you and all else.
Calling God a symbol is rude like me calling you a bridge and trying to walk across you is rude.

Sure. God was created by man. Apparently lots of people have an inability to deal with the concept of a finite life . Without their promised eternal life...they don't seem to be able to get on with living.

That is what god has become. But originally, it was simply man's best guess at how the universe works.
Fortunately, we've learned quite a bit more about the universe since then. (Well, some of us have)

Agreed 25%
God also was created to explain the unknown - origin of the world, meaning of weather patterns and natural disasters, etc.

The Creator was not created. He has always been. His redemptive plan is the only hope.
