therefore he cannot exist. he is a figment of your own reality.

DO I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING REAL IS ONLY IMAGINARY BEFORE I CAN ACCEPT GOD?

Since God exists on a higher level than mortality, we don't see Him unless there is a specific reason for doing so in His wisdom, not ours. Our limited mortal understanding chooses not to comprehend things of the spirit, thus we tend to deny His existence. That narrow perception does not erase the reality of His existence. Eventually every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is the Christ. Then will His reality manifest itself to all people. In the meantime, we are to live by faith, following the reality of things not seen that are nevertheless true.
God lives, Jesus is the Christ and He leads us by the mouth of prophets and apostles, today as in days past.

not true. although i do believe you choose your own reality and create it through your beliefs, just because you deny something doesnt mean that it doesnt exist. i could deny that eating french fries and hamburgers is bad for me cause i dont believe that there is fat in them, but that doesnt mean i wont get fat anyway. if i understand your argument correctly youre saying because we can deny God he cant exist. i dont believe in war, and i dont see war around me, so therefore war does not exist. next time you ask a question such as this one i would suggest running a couple counter examples to yourself first...

until a moment ago you did not exist. and I'm sure someone believed that you did long before I knew.

well that sounds logical except for one thing, the evidence is there whether one chooses (uses free will) to believe it or not is up to them, but it doesn't change the evidence or the facts.
one can believe that earthquaks never happen or that hurricanes never do (maybe they live in a place where these things don't happen and they don' t have tv or news or anything, they are isolated) so does that mean these things dont exist? I haven't been to iraq, but I know a war is going on there because I have enough evidence to come to that conclusion even tho I have never been there or see it for myself.
we can't see atoms, do they exist? we can't see wind does it exist? we can't see our own stomachs or livers or even kidneys, but we know they exist, why? we see evidence of it, we go to the bathroom, we eat and we are told by those who are physilogists and researchers and doctors that they exist and we get books with drawings of them as they try to explain what our bodies look like inside. we believe it because we trust the scientists motives not to make something up. why do I believe atoms and molecules exist? because I trust the science behind it.
we can't see pluto or uranus or even saturn, but how do we know they exist? scientists telling us? how do we know they aren't lying? why do we believe it? could it be there is enough evidence in our minds to show these really exist? we trust the people behind it?
how do we know the sun doesn't actually revolve around the earth (like they used to believe) and not the other way around? have you seen it? did you go to heaven and look down and watch the process? why do we accept this? well we have enough evidence without actually seeing the process ourselves to believe it.
so why do I believe in God? well there is enough evidence, and the evidence is even more overwhelming when you consider (as opposed to the above info) they have been trying to prove he doesn't exist. no one is trying to disprove the above info about the planets or our bodies, because they have no motive for doing so.
but what could be the motive for trying to convince people that god is a fallacy or figment of imagination? could it be because it opens the door to propaganda that leads to mind control over the masses? take one God away and it leaves open another God, the state? could it be because a belief in God makes it harder for some to go to war and fight the battles of the moneychangers who would then have oppositon that could affect those who do go and make them change their minds about fighting and thus lay down their arms? There are people whose belief in God motivates them to refuse to take up arms too, not just to go to war.
who would do the fighting for empire for these greedy people? or maybe the motive is that they see how religion has been used to perpetuate wars and they think by getting rid of God then wars will stop? thus believers in God are seen as warmongers, and blame God for it rather than the fact they have been propgandized to do these things against God's will? these people have been lied to about what God really wants.
maybe the reason they want to discredit him is because they don't see an end to injustices and figure if he did exist he would put a stop to this crazy injust world?
So does it make sense to discount God's existance because of what others do in his name? because they do it in his name does that automatically mean God santions it? does a house build itself? it can't reproduce, think or reason, it can't move itself, it can't repair itself, yet when a complicated life form like an animal or person or even plant comes along and is more complicated it did come about by itself just by chance with no intelligent direction?
does that make any logical sense? it makes no sense whatsoever to me. and I am not the only one.
RRRRR
