Ya this wasn't even his quote lol. I got mixed up this is Sartre. I mixed it up with "if there were no God it would be necessary to create one" actually by Voltaire.

The quote you used can be read 2 ways, too. I like that Voltaire quote, though. I remember, when I was young, I wasn't sure. I had no definition of God that made sense to me, so I didn't know if he existed or not. But, I needed him at that time. So, I decided that if he didn't exist, then I was going to create him. He would now exist in my world, my perception, my existence. I figured that the real God, if he existed (again, at the time I wasn't sure) wouldn't mind and would just be there.

We need God, but I'm convinced we need him for good reasons.

I think you are a very deep thinker. That's quite something to come up with! If you want some better arguments check this out.

I'm Ignostic, so to me - it's tremendously important to know the answer to that question before moving forward. And, being Ignostic doesn't mean I'm not, also, Christian. Or, even, gnostic, for that matter.

That God exists and, this is all part of his plan. We are still merely early Christians was, the most profound thing I read from this book. Trust me this book is worth your time and, will bring you closer to God. It is purposefully nondenominational because CS Lewis wrote this for every sect.
