i haven't seen a guy with 10 heads. does that mean that he exists? god is just like that too. there is more proof to prove that god does not exist than their is proof that god exists. just because the bible or other religious books say that god exists doesn't mean that it exists. bible was made up by someone's imagination and i can proove it. a guy wrote a book and he was not a christian. he lived in nepal which is was a complete hindu caountry and most of the things written by him was in the bible. this prooves that bible and all religious books and their phony god were made up by people

We know and can prove that man creates gods: we've created them thousands of times, all over the planet. However, the opposite is not knowable or provable. There's no reason to inject the supernatural into reality: but if you insist, then the proposition that God created man is pure conjecture – NOBODY knows the supernatural. Period.
The fact that man has created countless gods, from time immemorial, is very compromising to believers. They assert that the gods and religions that came before and after their own are false – but theirs is real and true. Maintaining the falsehood of those thousands of other gods and religions – while claiming the truth of their own – is patently and transparently ridiculous. Sorry, I'm not sure how to contradict strongly held beliefs with civility. You asked for opinions.
I've tried to tackle huge topics in a single answer and usually don’t succeeded well. Sometimes I raise more questions than I answer because space is limited here.
There are a myriad of arguments for or against God. There's no direct evidence for a creator God but it's a proven fact that men create gods. To me, it's necessary to define what you mean by "God" to begin with. For most of us, that means a God defined by a religion.
And that's where the problems start . . . at least for the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). For the remainder of this answer, any mention of "religion" means "Abrahamic religion" for short.
Religions are born into enmity because they try to lay claim to God. This insistence on exclusivity sets up religions for contention unless or until they convert the entire world – thereby eliminating the "competition". This is why, I believe, these religions all await the end-time when God will finally do the eliminating for them.
It's a forgone conclusion that no single religion (much less, denomination!) will win the world on its own. After all, they've had between 1,400 and 3,500 years (Islam and Judaism, respectively) to do so and haven't made any real progress. Christianity, with over 2 billion adherents, leads the pack but Islam, at 1.3 billion, is coming on strong (again). Despite being many centuries older than Christianity or Islam, Judaism has only 14 million adherents. If ANY religion truly is THE right one, I don't believe the competition would have survived this long.
Given all this . . . how are we supposed to decide which religion, if any, is right? The first one? The biggest one? The most sophisticated one? The most realistic one? The competition reduces our choice to a roll of the dice. And why would we go to hell for choosing the wrong one? It's ridiculous. Can God really be so sadistic? And if so, why would you worship him?
No . . .
NO religion can be valid if God exists AND is good. Any entity who could create the universe, would not be so petty as to set up his "intelligent" beings for condemnation. Why would the Creator give us free choice, only to confuse the choice of Creator? I say that if God exists, ALL religions are heretical. If God is good, we wouldn't be killing each other in His name. In the paraphrased words of Stephen Roberts:
"I contend that we are both anti-religion. I just believe in one fewer religion than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible religions, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
Oh yes . . . and forget about "Original Sin". It's the biggest lie in the Bible and the foundation of other lies. I am no more accountable for Eve than I am for Hillary Clinton or for you.
I believe God could, or might, exist; but I'm certain that NO religion is valid.

Your premise is fallacious. Fasting does now not turn out God is truly to any one. I consider in God and Christ and don't have got to be satisfied of His truth however your query/declaration is ridiculous. You must have simply invited every body to speedy and pray w/ you rather of pretending that any human conduct makes God truly.

We would not exist if God was not real. The bible is living proof that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.
When Jesus is in your heart, you will feel the power of God, as well as see it. Sure seeing is easier to believe, but not seeing and believing is putting your trust in God.

In the Bible, it says;
John 1:18
No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
John 6:46
No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.
1 Corinthians 2:9
However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" —
1 John 4:12
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
1 John 4:20
If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
3 John 1:11
Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.

Isnt this a bit like the "If a tree falls in a forest and noone is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" kinda thing?
Not sure your proof really proves anything though.

we believe god because there nothing else name we could make out for what is unknown to us ,god is simply that refrence to search for, it is guardian which everyone seeks in his or her imagination as they have not known the whole truth, tell you what this subject is beyond explanation as your human mind, but still would say believe only in what you get and your senses thats important, as per the title god is one of our belief that people wants it to be truth

God has 1 head for every person in the world thus he has about 6 billion heads.
