Is God In Anyway Necessary?
Is there any way or sense in which God is necessary? For instance, is God necessary to explain anything about the universe? Is God necessary to make life meaningful? Is God necessary to underpin morality? Or, is God necessary for some other reason?
If God is in any way or sense necessary, in what way or sense is He necessary? And why is He necessary?

It depends on what kind of REALationship one wants. If one does not expect that much from GOD it can blossom into a hearty friendship. If one starts to expect too much from GOD one may eventually become disappointed or unimpressed.

Well, as atheist I must say that I am doing quite fine without him. As religious person you could also say that he's controlling the world around me and I can't see it..

Not for me at this time, though I understand why "God" might be necessary for someone else.

"God" seems to me to be first and foremost a psychological coping mechanism to deal with the hysteria and anxiety that comes of being able to contemplate and anticipate death.

Too simply because He is our creator. He is the One who created all things, and He alone has full knowledge of all things. In other words and since He is our Creator I cannot function without Him nor can I survive without Him. We can't live without His support and provision. We can't survive without His guidance. He is the source of life and of everything. He is the first and the last. Without Him you wouldn't have been here to post this thread and I wouldn't be here either to reply.
