God exists because we can imagine it

[Sappho]

It is an interesting question whether things imaginated are real. That is an ontological one.
Imaginations appear in our brains and are made by electrical signals trough chemicals, which are real, thus is the thing imaginated also real? (in our brains that is, but nonetheless real) Outside is an entire other question I admit.
We could even assume this: as we cannot prove/know this isn't all a dream, is the thing you see in your imagination less real than these letters on this screen? In that case, is my imaginated God less real than the crisps in my mouth?

To be clear, I do not take any stand asking these questions.

I understand that it's likely a language issue, but I just want to say I adore the word "imaginated" and would love to steal it. Rather like English stole 99% of its words, in fact.

What do you think of this theoretical proposal:

God exists outside the mind, because we have developed the intelligence to imagine one existing outside the human mind, that it does. This is what you could say would separate us from animals, because no animal has the intelligence to imagine this concept.

And that all your concepts about what exists outside the human mind carry over, outside the human mind. Whatever god you believe in, that is what exists, not in alternate reality, not in reality, in...the afterlife. 


(P.S. I know this is illogical, I do not believe it. Do not attempt to accuse this of being what I personally believe, i'm just initiating a discussion with a prompt.)

Two words kill that: "Show me."
