Fine, here are my conditions. When I wake up tomorrow:
1. Nobody is hungry, all humans have uninhibited access to clean water and proper shelter from the elements, and don't have to prostrate themselves to some thug trading ideology for basic necessities.
2. People respect one another as individuals of the human species; regarless of their place of origin, skin color (or other physical attribute), sexual orientation or number of appendages.
3. People that invoke physical interaction for the means of dispute resolution are immediately vaporized (if you're kinder, we can immediately send them to the middle Anarctica to save a newly planted palm tree).

I don't understand why any of these things would prove the existence of a god, or disprove the existence of god with their absence. why would you assume god is friendly or even likes humans or wants everyone to be nice to one another?

But to answer the original question I personally think the existence of a god or powerful being might be the answer as to why we do exist but it's just one of an infinite amount of possibilities, but consider the question what would it take for me to disbelieve in all religions? Pretty much what you see around you today.
All religions being used to manipulate people for political or other goals or for money, the fact that humans have a tenancy to make up gods, gods of war, water, drug smuggling, whatever else. Absolutely no evidence of anything paranormal. Prayer being useless. The list is pretty long.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
