God exists because you can feel his presence. The bible is such a complex book. You can interpret a lot of it metaphorically and at the same time know that what it describes is very real. Christianity as a philosophy guided much of human development through its influence on the West and it is a very important historical artefact that you can't easily divorce from much of western culture.
God isn't real. Religious feelings are. God is a self-contradictory proposition. Any and every religion makes mutually incompatible claims about reality as well as irrational ones by themselves. Religion belongs in the past. Given a mind free of any indoctrination and provided an adequate education, one would never arive at the conclusions religious people generally do, unless one is mentally ill.
