No.... our thoughts are not changing reality, but it can change OUR reality .... what you believe in becomes true for you (at least in this lifetime)

No. True reality is not defined by what we want it to be.
However, even if God isn't real, then people believing He is would make Him real to them. This means that even if there is no God, people can still find comfort in Him, and have a relationship with "Him," even if He's not there. Think of it like a child and her imaginary friend--only in a different way, because this would be an "adult version."
On the other hand, i could reverse the question: does saying "God isn't real" a thousand times make it so?
Again, no. Reality is not defined by what we want it to be.
So the big question for everyone is, "Does my belief about reality match what reality really is?"
Of course everyone is going to say "YES!" If people knew their beliefs were flat-out wrong, they wouldn't have those beliefs. It is very rare to find an individual who is willing to question those beliefs even a little.
And i hope you are one of them.

God isn't a fairy from neverneverland. If he was real he wouldn't suddenly fade from existance just coz 1 guy said he wasn't real 1000 times when hundreds of thousands are praising and worshipping him at the same time.
It would, however, leave u rather breatheless

You have heard it 1000 times and your still lying to yourself about it. He is real whether you like it or not. Read Rom chap 1 and it tells you that you know hes real. Oh thats rigth you dont believe the bible but your here asking questions about it. Curious. But im glad your here. Maybe it will sink in and you will get saved. Ill pray that way.

No. Not even a billion times. You only have to say it once but you must BELIEVE IT to make it so.

You only need to say it once and believe that He is, and then He will do a works in your life that only He can do.

Does refusing that He is real, make Him any less real if He is real? No, it doesn't. Same concept.
