Do you Exist?

If you don't believe you exist likely you soon will be dead because unless someone is feeding you and taking care of you you soon will be.

Does God Exist?

Whether God exists is ultimately irrelevant. What is relevant is whether you believe in God or not.

Because what you believe becomes what you live by. So all your actions in your life likely will be predicated on what you believe. So, choosing what you believe freely is very important.

For example, Terrorists often are victims of child abuse and are having severe psychological problems in regard to their belief in God which is why they kill others in the name of God while committing suicide. This type of behavior is aberrant but becomes more normal among mammals when there is overpopulation and becomes more extreme as overpopulation increases. So, it is very likely that the number of suicide terrorists in all religions will increase with the world's populations.

But, here in the U.S. for example. Do you believe in God? A better question might be: "Is believing in God necessary to your ongoing survival?" If the answer is "Yes" then not believing in God means that you will commit suicide. This was true of me in my late teens and early 20s. I realized that if I didn't believe in God and have a purpose to my life that I was going to commit suicide. But, this was just me. You might have a different psychological perspective than that.

I am not certain that I exist (at least as we are perceive ourselves to be humans on earth. It appears that we as souls live in human bodies here on Earth. But other things are just as likely to be true. But, unless I act like I believe in human bodies and earth exists then my body will die. This is a given for all of us.

So, this then becomes, "Even if what appears to be happening isn't true at all, I still need to pretend it is true to keep my body alive and not die."

So, "Do you exist?" Maybe you do but if you don't at least pretend you exist you soon will be dead.
