I'm not asking for a reason to believe that it gives you hope/positivity. If it gives you hope/positivity, fine. But that alone, as I said, is a placebo/false hope at best.
There are two separate threads here: Knowledge of God and belief in God.

You don't seem to care about his existence. In fact you've even said you don't. You said God just 'IS' which is a completely nonsensical statement because God can't be or do anything if he doesn't exist. Without existence belief in God is false and a placebo at best. You don't seem to care about his existence or in other words, 'being' at all - so how you can be that way and not claim to be merely living a placebo with (false) hope, and positivity, I don't know.
