Your question has a lot of presumptions and blind acceptances. God, his existence, his words, all these are just beliefs based on somebody's words and not on personal experience.

For people that believe in god: Say he/she/it really didn't exist. What would you do? How would you live your life differently? Honest question. No offense intended.
Belief in God is highly personal for me. It does not matter what others feel or think about God. Above all what we understand by the word God itself differs from person to person, religion to religion. My query is always "who am I?" for which I am yet to find an answer. I appreciate your honesty in asking this question. Sure you may get an answer by yourself soon.
