Why do I need to fear God?

[Confused Ape]

To date - ALL The gods that we can prove to have existed have died.

As defined by ther religions - the Pharaohs of Egypt - and several Leaders of the Mayan and Incan cultures were gods. We can prove they existed because we have their remains.

Everyone in these cultures knew that their gods on Earth were going to die, though, and their deities didn't let them down in this respect.

There's a god currently living in Britain.

EDIT: I've just seen that you mentioned this in another topic. I'll let my post stay, though, because I've linked to a wikipedia article which gives the details.

Prince Philip Movement

According to ancient tales, the son of a mountain spirit travelled over the seas to a distant land. There he married a powerful lady and in time would return to them. He was sometimes said to be a brother to John Frum of the cargo cult.

The people of the Yaohnanen area believe that Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the consort to Queen Elizabeth II, is this divine being. They had seen the respect accorded to Queen Elizabeth II by the colonial officials and concluded that her husband, Prince Philip, must be the son referred to in their legends.

It is unclear just when this belief came about, but it was probably some time in the 1950s or 1960s. It was strengthened by the royal couple's official visit to Vanuatu in 1974, when a few villagers had the opportunity to actually see Prince Philip from a distance. The Prince was not then aware of the cult, but it was brought to his attention several years later by John Champion, the British Resident Commissioner in the New Hebrides.

Champion suggested that Prince Philip send them a portrait of himself. He agreed and sent a signed official photograph. The villagers responded by sending him a traditional pig-killing club called a nal-nal. In compliance with their request, the Prince sent a photograph of himself posing with the club. Another photograph was sent in 2000. All three photographs were kept by Chief Jack Naiva,[1][2] who died in 2009.[3]

It would be difficult convincing these people that their god doesn't exist. They probably won't be surprised when he dies either because the son of a mountain spirit would just go back to being a spirit.
