1) Would you say that if people stopped believing in God, He'd stop existing?

2) Would you say that if everybody started believing in a new kind of supreme being (one called "Zchtfv", maybe), He would start to exist?

3) I didn't say anything of the kind. I know this isn't a question.

4) Are you familiar with the reasoning that goes:
If I believe in God and God exists, then I go to heaven;
If I don't believe in God and God exists, I'm pretty much fucked;
If I believe in God and God doesn't exist, I'm no worse off;
If I don't believe in God and God doesn't exist, I'm no worse off;
So, logically, it's safer (ie, better) to believe in God than to not believe.
