To David.

When someone says God is imaginary, it means they haven't looked for God. And more then that it often means they ignore times that show that God is there. It becomes a philosophy that overrules reality. To put it another way, it's the blind leading the blind.

I'll say it again. If I can find God, then so can you.

The current Dalai Lama is quoted as having said that the purpose of life is to be happy. In becoming truly happy, one lets go of everything such as fear, expectations, judgement, envy etc. None of which requires a God. He / she / it simply doesn't exist. "God" is a man-made construct.

To Aries54,

Happiness is fleeting and fickle. And the pursuit of one person's happiness sometimes comes at the cost of robing someone else of theirs. Though I'm sure the Dalia Lama has a philosophy of what it means to be happy is to let go of everything else, that isn't a purpose for life. That's a coping tatic to deal with life.

God being real can be justified. And He is justified often in people's lives. He interacts in the lives of many people who seek Him out. That is something much more then just a man made construct.

Not_Now.Soon,I have said this before, and I will say it again. "if God is such a loving father" as you God botherers all seem to claim, where was he when his "Only begotten son" was languishing on the cross calling out "Why hast thou forsaken me." The obvious answer which seems to evade all you people is that "THERE IS NO GOD". End of story.
Believe me when I say that I have personally looked for clues as to his existence but none can I find. I fact, quite the contrary when you look at what has happened particularly with the Catholic Church over the centuries. It is hard to imagine a more Godless pack of barstards.(sic)

To David,

What clues for God have you looked into?

That is the problem. It is very hard to find clues for something when it only exists in the imagination of others. I have lived with a schizophrenic for several years and I am probably an expert in that area. I reckon half the books in the Bible were written by schizophrenics.
Stay safe, keep taking your medicine.
