So to me what happens is that people learn about the story and God and his message of peace for all humans, and identify themselves to it, and end up making the world better by following the teachings of the Son of God
I perfectly understood that part - that you think it is a good thing when people believe what you believe yourself. I disagree, but my question was:
What is the reason that god exists? If you tell me we just made him up to make the world a better place, you are a plain atheist, IMO.
To me it's much more plausible that god does not exist (or is at least dead for quite some time now) - so please convince me that this is not the case!
