"What's in it for you", is another question so interrelated with the "why"; actually answering the "what" would automatically mean that the why is answered.
Why do you want to know if God exists or not? what made you feel alerted and feel the urge to chase such a terminology, validating if it was right or wrong?
We humans never give something any long-term attention (the idea of God is present since the dawn of time) until it makes a huge impact on our existence, for example I don't notice the "absence of winged unicorns" because simply: "winged unicorns have no effect on my life".
God -on the other hand- is given all this positive and negative attention; literally we can say that the concept of God is innate capacity in any society. Religion existed with humanity since the first recorded days of history, why didn't the idea die out?
Yes; it has a huge impact that cannot be ignored, no matter what.
The amount of reaction to religion is evidence in itself that the concept of God existed, will exist no matter what.
People always seek God. And God's presence is felt no matter what.
For me the idea of God is secondary or even tertiary.
I am more interested in human psychology.
especially the idea of someone stabbing or piercing women and infants because of a purported God's command.

just got a message from my female friend who is asking me where we meet...
I wanted to write something else God-related, but I forgot what and I can't be half-arsed to think about it NOW.
I liked the parts where these old yahoodies tolchock each other and then drink their Hebrew vino, and getting onto the bed with their wives' handmaidens.
