@kingdavid403 saidIt's a weird to have some posts at the top of a list without explanation.
The question for me should be: what is the point of humans to God?
@kingdavid403 saidFair enough, but, as questions go, it rather excludes non-believers from the discussion, I think ~ whereas 'What is the point of God today?' is a more inclusive query.

Yeah, it does. However, "What is the point of God today?" excludes believers to I.

I disagree with you here; in my personal opinion.
@fmf saidOne might as well ask, "What is the point of mustard when it comes to bread?"

Maybe it's time you shut down your little expat control center.

Believers can riff on the "point of God" being that his existence makes sense of everything.
@fmf saidI do not believe in God just because He makes sense of everything.

I attempted to write a response in a different fashion; however, I saw that it was just leading back to the same ole arguments between non-believers and believers on our physical lives, verses or spiritual lives; which has been going on for over a decade now in this forum.
The question in the title of this thread, insinuates that there is no God to believers, so why believe. It's a condescending question to I.
It's like me saying to you that there is God, so why not believe in Him?
I hope you and others can see my point.
@kingdavid403 saidI didn't say you did.

@kingdavid403 saidChristians have been offering variations of "There is God, so why not believe in Him?" for as long as I have been here. So, you'd call that condescending?

Yes, to non-believers it would be, in my opinion. You would not see me starting a thread titled "There is God, so why not believe in Him?" I would find that somewhat rude and unnecessary towards the non-believers here.
@kingdavid403 saidI don't find it condescending. The issues surrounding the nature of faith are interesting.
