The God Effect

I cant help but wonder the question of God.
does he exist? Or is he a great fairy tail that survived through the centuries.
Even thou The sheer amount of history, knowledge, lessons, and remarkable wisdom that is expressed in the Bible, when studied closely and taken the syntax literally there are many questions that arise from it’s studies.
The amount of bloodshed and the numerous wars raised in the name of God.
The countless amount of people who died in the name of God.
The countless modifications of the syntax to fit religions all around the world.
All Above are of great concern to me.
I a mere human If elected God for just one day, I would go back in time and on the first page of the first Bible I would print: For educational purposes only!
Mostly all Religious people I debate with ( just for the sake of debating i know i can’t change there mind set.) are quick to characterize me as an atheist. The reason they do that is because it is easier to fight another religion then no religion. Bare with me for a moment let us dive into the mindset of a religious man.
A religious man explains creation, life, death with God.
Everything begins and ends with God and God has the ability to intervene in all matters of life as long as it does not interfere with his sovereign plan.
There for there mind is set on his benevolent grace and are eternally happy for every day allowed above ground; Besides the great advances in science and medicine that have allowed them to live an extra thirty years compared to there predecessors.
Back to the religion no religion.
I am an atheist to them because they must be able to label me.
You see you can fight a label, and also, once created a label you can determine a value and once a value is determined you can find a competitor.
Religion is basically a giant business. You don’t have to look to far to realize that. Just look at it,s inner structure each person reports to higher and higher in power person until we climb the giant corporate ladder that leads us to the grand master the one supposedly closest to God, the favorite as i like to call him, as if God really needs a middleman.
Many of my educated friends are quick to disprove the existence of god.
On the other hand many of my not so fortunately educated friends who’s lives are stricken by the everyday harsh reality of life and it’s terrible ups and downs cannot wrap there uneducated heads around the idea of no God and are very quick to get angry when confronted with even the slightest possibility of his non existence.
It would seem to me just as an observer, that the educated and more open minded group even thou “blessed” If i am allowed to say, would have more reasons to believe in God then the more unfortunate group. But quite the opposite seems to be happening.
It seems as if the more one has; or the more one accomplishes the greater he distances himself from God.
On the other hand the group of people who’s lives are entirely dependent and adjusted around the lives of the open minded, cannot but wake up in the morning and praise god and give thanks for the extra day of life.
I am baffled.
If there was a God, It would seem to me that the second group of people is more deserving of the better things life has to offer.
