The paradox of god's existence is that we're unable to imagine such a being beyond the universe and everything we know, so our current idea of god is nothing like the actual "god" whatever that may be. That means christians, muslims, jews are all believing a false idol. Not the true god.

Yes being immortal would make anyone happier, in the sense that there would be nothing to worry about, being immortal you become god. simple: dead<living

The only thing I am certain of is that I exist. For everything else could be a dream or a figment of my imagination. Consciousness is defined by being awake, or being observing and changing, being alive. A person who dies is not alive anymore and not conscious. You have to be able to be functioning to be conscious. Yes computers can be conscious as well, but there consciousness is not as complex as ours as they are only inventions of our limited imagination. Plants and animals are all conscious, they're alive. If you're alive then you are conscious. Humans, animals and plants and even computers are self aware. It's just they have difference variations of self awareness.

If god existed, we would never be able to comprehend him. If we could comprehend him, he would no longer be god. God is a being that exists beyond our universe. If god existed in our universe then he would have the laws of the universe applied to him, he then is no longer god. As a being that exists beyond our universe, we would never be able to comprehend him as he is beyond the universe and everything we understand. How can we comprehend something that exists beyond the universe? That is like saying, how can a blind child from birth comprehend colour? If you can comprehend him, then he is part of the universe. He is then no longer god. It's like explaining to a blind child what colour is, once this blind child comprehends colour, he/she is no longer blind. When I say comprehend, I also mean to "know of". You can't "know" god, because everything we know is shaped by this universe. God is beyond the universe so he is beyond everything we "know". To explain this idea using my analogy, How can a group of blind people prove that colour exists without previous knowledge of colour? You can not prove that god exists, because once you do, he longer is god. To sum up the idea I am trying to put forward, People will never be able to prove god's existence, the more you try to say there is a god, the less godly he becomes. Yes, it doesn't disprove a "god", but it disproves any idea of god that humans have right now of him because we are incapable of "knowing" such a being. We are a community of blind people trying to prove to each other what colour is.
