Charlie, Do you think the ancient Greeks, with their spectacular achievements, were all fooling themselves by believing in Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, etc?
What about ancient Egyptians? What about thousands of years of chinese history and cultural tradition, human beings doing good and bad things without your God? Do you realise hindus, buddhists, muslims, etc are all themselves 100% sure that their beliefs are true? Why are they wrong and you're right? Just because you want? What makes you think your God is more real than the ancient ones?
