yes, god exists, but not the way most people think. god is life energy, and life energy exists in everything, therefor god exists. nothing personal. god doesn't care if you like god or not. god just wants to expand, live, experience life and the universe. there is no good or bad to god. consequences, yes. contrast, yes. if you aren't in alignment with love and appreciation, you will suffer. where your energy and attention goes, it picks up momentum. the worse it gets, the worse it gets. but if you can train yourself to be appreciative "whatever is good...think of those things" -bible , then you will have more things to be appreciative of. when you pray, pray a prayer of thanks and appreciation for something in your life and you will notice more of it. god is your intuition, and perception is reality...
