The main and only reason for our existence is to reproduce and make a life for ourselves. Is God necessary?

Belief in a God can be beneficial and helpful for some people even if no God actually exists .

  • But to be put in peril does depend on his existence.

    That's why I used the verb verb MAY to indicate contingency.

  • In this context, Tom, we must also address nonexistence, which would present the quandry of paying homage to imaginary characters as a waste of irreplaceable time. Absent that, are we forced to then consider whatever universal creator that might exist as so vain as to concern themself with every one of the hundred billion or so humans who have ever existed has observed him sufficiently or not.  This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at March 18, 2017 2:34 PM MDT

    I don't exactly ignore God; I think there are natural phenomena that exist instead of requiring a need for God.

    "IF"

    You cannot make any sense without that added to your question. 

    So, if that was the ONLY reason, then God would be an afterthought.  

    BUT since we are not here to procreate and since we are here to grow spiritually, saying God is not necessary is equivalent to saying we are unnecessary.   We ARE GOD.  Hello?

    Is it ME your looking for?

    God was an afterthought.  Ancient man perceived there must be supernatural forces that created existence and was cause of natural phenomena. Then as an afterthought they decided to personify those forces as gods.
    I came to age of puberty naturally to enable me to reproduce.  If God existed an awareness of Him should have come naturally also I think.

    Human s are not necessary;  just a product of evolutionary process.

    Just because a bunch of youngsters (man at that age compared to Eternity?  YOUNG)

    Just because a bunch of youngsters tried to figure out how things work and made up a way to define God, in no way determines IF or HOW God manifested.

    Get real.
