making up God to soothe our fears when we reject the existence of other made-up figures that might, likewise, make us feel better?

No Eartha Q it does not make sense at all. As we keep telling people when they ask us, it comes down to choice, not fear. We know and see that God is a loving God who cares for us and anyone else who will come to him.
Perhaps it's their own fears of not believing that triggers the accusations.

Boy do you have a lot to learn. Your "god" gives you the ability to hold power over others. Your "god" gives you the ability to persecute others who are not like you.
Why do you think you are the only sect who makes up gods to make you feel better? are you that blind to all the other religions in the world?

Tuberoot makes a good point. But the world doesn't realize that the vice they use as a crutch will never give complete happiness. Only our relationship with Jesus fulfills us.

But if you already believe in the Christian God, any other God would make you feel uncomfortable, so of course you don't believe in it.

Yes, it makes perfect sense to me. They don't understand after all. How do you describe a relationship with God when they don't even think that spirits exist?
