omg…what if no god…what would happen to us
If there were no God, we would invent one. The God concept satisfies a need among the majority of human beings. The need is explicit in our question about our meager lives–Is this all there is?

are you saying it is like an opiate
Yes. So what is wrong with needing an opiate in the teeth of death and oblivion?

so the ship is leaking…why not follow the spiritual life without an opiate
The spiritual life may just be another opiate. We are in dire straits. What can you offer us that would take the place of a god? If self-sufficiency were the answer, there might not be the problem. Apparently, it is not the answer.
If Life is ill,
I’ll swill;
If God is not,
I’ll rot
In the opiate of thrill.
There is no God and I am good to go. Whereas for
for a believer, no god means a massive and total revision of their entire life, past, present and future.
But on the other hand, if God should suddenly announce their presence, all I have to do is at some point before death, even moments before my death, is to claim I believe and I am good to go. I win either way. Pascal’s wager in reverse.

I would be happy if no God/s
There would still be eternity and it would be everyone’s. Other worlds instead of a judgement based heaven/hell, what could be better! 
If there was no God, then the principle of contradiction would necessarily overcome any formal understanding (identification) of criteria, which lead to God. It would cease to find meaning in any
eschatology of God’s historical development, and relate His deconstruction in an inverse relation to the rate of increasing accumulation of scientific
knowledge and belief.
At the critical point, such a proposition as :‘what would happen if God did not exist’, would eqiuivicate
with the proposition:-(what would happen if God did not exist). , for science would become God.
Why? How do we ascertain whether the aims of science to figure out ‘everything there is’, is not the same as God’s ‘everything’? Everything=Everything, therefor at the critical point God=-God.
The question is, will science proceed to this critical point.
But, intuitively, it seems that this tautology is more a question of an inherent truism.
ier------can you come up with a more modern god that includes all persons…
I want a more modern god…a god with no gender…
A modern god for the modern castrated man. =D>
Jesus hung around with thieves and prostitutes and he said that anyone could repent and be forgiven by God. But that’s not inclusive enough.
A modern god would not discriminate in any way at all. He would not make a distinction between good and bad action, good and bad person, sinner and non-sinner. That’s a modern god for a modern nihilistic society. :-"
why not make god just like you want it…since we do that anyways phyllo
Clearly you/we don’t make god just like you/want. If you/we did, then there would be none of this incessant moaning and complaining.

I see you are back to protect your father god…it is in the bible
There is no god, and we’re here right now, in this moment… welcome to the universe without a god… is it quite the experience you were thinking or looking for? we are the closest thing you have towards gods, and we piss it all away.
I’m not protecting anything.
I think that you have hit the nail right on the head:
Modern man wants to have a modern god which is a reflection of him. He wants a subjective, relativistic, nihilistic god.
The other option, for modern man, is no god … which is also subjective, relativistic and nihilistic.
