Well, you don't have to sit back and shout hosanna, thanking the person harvesting you for organs. There's always that. That would just be weird.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

By the process of realization.
A god that cannot be proven to exist outside of "personal" experience is not a realization so much as it is a process of self delusion.
So by your definition, anything that exists outside of the boundaries of your five senses doesn't exist?

So by your definition, unicorns exist?
If god can exist merely upon your thought processes with no evidence to support the existence, so can any conceptual idea.
Wouldn't you agree?

Is god beyond your five senses? That would be the only way this line of questioning could become relevant.

I'm sure there are colors beyond the ability of your eye to see, so it's not at all irrelevant.

Sounds like a yes, to me. God is beyond your five senses. Well, no shit, I guess?

Well in that case there's nothing any of us whether 'theist' or 'atheist' are going to be able to do about it, now is there?
How do you know?
All you have to go on is the propaganda of the god that could be harvesting us.

It's easy enough to state a falsehood rather than accept the truth. "Oh, there are more colors in existence than we can perceive".
Yes, that is how charlatans make money. Try something more logical, bitch.
