No. Whether there is a God or not I AM STILL CAPABLE OF LOVE and thinking for myself. This allows me to CREATE MY OWN PURPOSE.
By the way, I do believe in God.

I have come through a terrible time recently where I had walked away from the Lord and made wrong choices. I never forgot Him but was not allowing Him access to my life.I firstly lost my job, my family, broke my back in two places, came out of hospital to find my husband dead on the kitchen floor and then had the police arrive to tell my my mother had also just been found dead. I went to a really dark place that I never thought I'd get out of. I couldn't pray and wanted to die whilst at the same being terrified because I knew I wasn't reconciled to Him. Suddenly He was there, just as I'd always know Him, sat beside my bed as I struggled to sleep. He spread His wing over me and I slept for the first time in 3 weeks. Over the next few months, He repaired me so gently and has been my counsellor and my healer, even giving me a measure of healing in my back to enable me to cope daily. It was a nightmare for me in the period when I thought He wasn't there and I've learned that He really is the beginning and the end and everything in between. Without Him we have nothing and we are nothing

Reading between the lines for your question:
Your statement is making god imaginary...
If your statement is considered acceptable then the question arises:
'What is our purpose of living?'
It is about adhering to God's Command & living a life with moral practices.
Therefore, the God All-great is always there, no doubt, and our lives revolve about God – so He is the purpose!

spelling
The question should be what is God?
Is god the creative force in the Universe or is god gotten a special interest in those apes who are a bit of an infestation on the earth these days.
Well is there is no God, we might be useful to mix up a few billions of the universes molecules. and we might be having unknown effects on the other 7 dimensions in addition to the ones we usually think of.

No I don't agree. Its just the opposite.
If God is your only purpose for living then its an ironic shame you have to die to meet him. Therefore when your life is over its purpose would begin. So by believing there is a god makes life a little pointless, as its the so called afterlife you desire.

Yes:
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?

No I do not agree that if there is no God, we have no purpose in living.
I enjoy my life, I do many things to make life easier for other people, and it doesn't need a God for me to appreciate this relatively short life we have.
The purpose of life is to live it to the full, to enjoy the experience, do it because you want to, not because a book, and other peoples interpretation of that book, tell you what to do.

I believe in God, but in any event, if we learn from life experiences, do our best to be a good person, help others in their time of need then that's a good enough purpose for living in my humble opinion.

Having a porpoise in your living is a serious issue for the lost porpoise. Never mind the carpet, keep it wet, stop it flipping everywhere and dial for help.
You seem to be a resistant capital offender. Haven't you heard of crime and punctuation?

No I do not. Beliving in "God" forces people to live life in a cage. Not having a god makes people FREE ;-)
