God does not exist Noobie. It is a mental self-defense mechanism for you so that you can survive in a world you cannot comprehend on its own.
The world and all its complexities has been explained and always abdly throughout history by people dependent on myths and fables. We need to lie to ourselves because we are afraid of our own weakness. Thats why you feel guilty all the time - you secretly know you are weak not because you are a sinner but because you are so alone, unprotected and vulnerable in the world. You need a bedtime story parent to help you exist through this horrible loneliness.
he exists in your mind so you can feel good about yourself.
When something bad happens to others - you feel good that it didnt happen to you - because God loves you (a.k.a you actually are self-absorbed and selfish)
If something happens to you - you are stuck only to turn to your imaginary friend. he is your ego - so in a sense you are still relying ultimately on yourself and your pride.
This imaginary friend is the foundation for yourself - if you didnt keep making him up - your whole personality would collapse. You would be what you truly are - Deeply insecure and afraid of life.
That is why you dont like people saying they dont believe in your God (who is you) - because they are actually attacking your ego. Dont worry its natural - most prideful people act that way - just like what you are doing.
You are right that its all your fault - you decided to feel mentally and emotionally to this fictional friend (God) and you need to feel guilty for it. You cant understand why there is pain in your life so you rationalize it by creating imaginary enemies for your imaginary friends. That allows you to explain why this fictional friend that loves you (acyually you loving yourself) actually is unable to do anything "special" for you directly.
In the end - your life is going to be spent making excuses for your imaginary friend - never realising that the imgainary friend is actually your own fears and inadequacies, your pride and anger. God is real to you because it actually are the parts of your life you cannot comprehend.
But have faith! Dont think!! Keep misinterpreting your fears and hopes as the purview of your imaginary friends. ancient people have done that all the time. But just before you die - you will feel the hollow emptiness when you realize there is no special place waiting for you - Just the gathering darkness. In that split second your whole life would have been a complete lie - you will only realize it at the very end.
