Suicide and the idea the God is NOT for EVERYONE
I have to say that a person who claims God is REAL is not in touch with God, why? God and all religion is based upon faith, the unknown and unknowable, the complete and total ineffibility of God, that God is both unknown and unknowable. Even Jew claim no right of knowing who or what God is. Jesus was a damn good prophet, a genuine Child of God, but not God incarnate, Jesus Did not claim Equality with God, St. Paul states that fact. It is all about faith. And I still think that the World is going to end before December 31st, 2012, why? Why stated the year in specualation, and now the traditional center for the world's destruction is errupting (September 14th, 2012) The us is the Great Satan once more, and radical muslim extremists are on the verge of starting that which we have feared since 1979, Iran's Nuclear development and the fact that there are more radical muslim extremists in the world than there are resonably sane people. God? God only laughs at the folly of mankind.

God IS real. I'm not going to sit here and try to convince you of my evidence. You may think that that's because I can't give you evidence, but, believe me, I can. It appears though that you've already made up your mind that He is not real, no matter what I'd say to attempt to convince you otherwise. The concern I have, in an honestly good way, is that on judgment day, the people that did not believe in Him, will then find out they were wrong all along. But, then it will be too late. Please realize I'm not here bashing your opinion or trying to start a debate. Rather, all I'm doing is RECOMMENDING to look into the possibility that you may not be right
I want to add this, which I think is important:
There are ONLY 2 POSSIBLE OUTCOMES UPON DEATH.....
1) If YOU are right, then when we pass away, were just "gone" out of existence, period. As if we never were anything. But,
2) If I'M right, we either go to Heaven or hell.....
Please at least give this some thought

Been looking at this "question" for a while. Truly, I have no idea what it is you are saying (and it seems as though you aren't asking anything). I am going to assume that you want people to share their opinions on god.
So, on that note, let me share my two cents.
Faith is nonsense. It is a word people use to justify a belief that cannot be supported in any way. When dealing with religion, it is a word that justifies ignoring the things that we do know about the world around us (e.g. evolution), and all the evidence and common sense which indicates that this world is not ruled by an omnipotent, benevolent God.
Virtually every devout religious believer throughout history would tell you about their personal connection to their god... whether it be God, Allah, Odin, Zeus, or any other fictitious character. And none of them can step back and go: Hey, how come almost everyone seems to think that the god from their area of the world (and time in history) is the one true god? Odd coincidence that!
There is a great quote from Stephen Roberts which goes: "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
Religion is like a drug. It feeds that part of our brain which cannot accept death as the end, and that part of our mind which wants our lives to not be utterly irrelevant. It holds on to its victim through fear of eternal damnation, and it often pushes otherwise good people to do terrible things. And by the way, I use the word "victim" because most believers were force fed this stuff as children, when their minds had no way to defend themselves against it.
As for your end of the world prediction, I can't say I put any stock into it. Ever since the dawn of time we have had end of the world predictions and we will continue to have them until the end of our history. The last one may of course be right (by luck), but I seriously doubt it will be this one.
I will grant you this, when the end of the world does come, it probably will indeed be about "faith". After all faith has been responsible for some of the worst chapters in our history.

I'm Not going to try and answer your question, mainly for I'm not sure what your question truly is.
Since just about the dawn of time man has fought wars in the name of God. The most notable were the Crusades. Today we have the Muslim extremists and bigger and better weapons with which to kill ourselves with. Still the world seems to march onward and upward.
Other dates have been given for which day the world would end. These dates have come and gone. Will the world end on 12/31/12? I don't know and I am not going to live in fear of it happening as... well as there is not anything I can do about it if it does happen.
Are you asking if there is a god? I can't answer that question if you are. What I believe is mankind has always had to believe in some type of higher power. Someone or thing that guided their destiny. At some point that someone came to be called a God.
Now I am not an Atheist, I am an Agnostic as I do believe their is a god. I just do not believe in the organized religions and the different bibles. I believe we are all one and there is only one god.
I'm not sure I answered your question, I probably have not. If you can clarify your question for me write me back in a private message and I will give it another try.
