Is God Imaginary?

He (God) causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, 

and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

Matthew 5:45 

There is a website set up to prove that God is imaginary, giving 50 proofs that He doesn't exist.  For example:  

Proof #23:  Listen to the Doxology

For those of you who might not know this, the doxology is a song that is sung in many Christian churches every Sunday morning.  It says:

Praise God from whom all blessings flow;

Praise Him, all creatures here below,

Praise Him above, ye heavenly host,

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Amen.

The website author's disagreement with this song is the "Praise God from whom all blessings flow."  He says, "If God existed and handed out blessings as described in the Doxology, then the blessings would be spread uniformly among his believers. And non-believers would get none."   This person has obviously never read Matthew 5 - that God sends blessings regardless of belief or unbelief.    

He then goes on to say:  "Let us suppose that God is real and that all blessings actually do flow from him. If that is the case, then the utter unfairness with which he disperses his blessings is proof positive that God is ridiculous. If all blessings flow from God, then the fact that Bill Gates is worth $70 billion while 10 million children will starve to death this year is specifically God's fault. That is ridiculous."  God certainly did not hand Bill Gates $70 billion.  He made his money through his own hard work and business acumen.  When I think of someone "blessed by God," Bill Gates is not a person that comes to mind.  God's blessings are rarely financial but always spiritual.  The ten million children who will starve to death?  They will do so mostly because of who man is and what he does - the constant wars and conflicts that rob the land and terrorize the people.  The governments who are unable or unwilling to provide medical care for their people.  The soldiers on both sides of a conflict that steal the emergency rations and supplies that are sent by other countries to save those starving children.

When things are going well, we acknowledge God's blessings.  When things are not going well, we rant and rave against God for not doing what He should, could, or would if He was really there.  The problem is, God is, well, God - not a human being.  "My thoughts are not your thoughts," He proclaims, and in my book, that's probably a very good thing.
