If there is a creator, so what?

I thought I'd bring this back as it's a question I'm asking all the time of theists and I'm getting no satisfactory answers. Some people will write pages and pages of stuff trying to establish the existence of "God", but can't/won't spare a few words to tell me why I should give the first fuck about any of it.

Why should I care guys? I still haven't heard anything persuasive.

Well, let's start with a real basic and simple reason.

If it's true that god exists, then you should care about it in the same way you care about anything else you hold to be true.

Caring about truth (or at least as close as we may come to truth) seems to be something you do a lot. Why not start there?

Sure, I'm interested in knowing what is true. So let's say you convince me that it's true that "god" exists, whatever that means. What difference should this make to me? I have scientific curiosity about any previously unknown phenomenon, sure. People generally seem to think it's rather more important than that, but have trouble saying why.
