The Significance of God's Existence
If there is no God, life is devoid of meaning and purpose. Without the existence of a higher power, we are just insignificant specks in the universe, and nothing we do ultimately matters. In this perspective, there is no concept of right or wrong, only personal preferences or utility. However, if there is a God, our choices and actions have significance. We are created on purpose and for a purpose, and therefore, our decisions carry weight and meaning. The question of whether God exists is closely tied to the question of whether we matter and if our choices have significance.
